Oh wow… I took that screw out through the strainer because the drain attachment nozzle didn’t fit through the strainer. I hadn’t noticed because it wasn’t lined up when I looked through the hole in the sink. Literally just lined it up and it was so obvious. I put plumber’s mait around the seal...

Hello everyone, Yesterday we had a blocked kitchen sink which I tried to sort out using an pipe/drain attachment I bought a few years ago for my pressure washer (this one), except that it got stuck and I couldn’t remove it so I had to dismantle the pipes underneath the sink to get it out as it...

The link opens a page which says temp unavailable. Will have a look and see if I can find it via link naming convention.

Thanks for the reply, confirming what I thought. I was thinking of calling up and returning them. I’m thinking this one looks better. That’s what I was trying to convey which thankfully you understood and managed to say a lot better. They are the exact same - and both have the disc with a hole...

Hi guys, I've bought this vertical double radiator and these radiator valves. I'm confused as there's no lockshield - it's basically 2x regular valves with 1 of them has the TRV fitted on top of it. When I look inside the valve, one side is closed off with a hole inside it. The other side is...

Thanks guys. I think my issue was I expected it to stick the plate to the bricks. I used the resin to attach it and it did a good job. Such a good job that it lifted the mortar off the top of the dwarf wall. I drilled through the timber, mortar, DPC & into dwarf walls then attached the wooden...

Hey everyone, Looking for some advice please. I’m opening up a living room / box room / kitchen to become an open living / dining area. I also removed 2x corner chimney breasts to square the room off, during which I noticed the floorboards & joists were ridden with woodworm holes so I’m also...

Yes, backs fitted to the built-ins and yes, didn’t think to mention it. I intended to design ventilation into the built-ins. The wall is internal - it’s 2.5” clinker blocks and the engineering bricks are where I removed a chimney breast which was on both sides. The wall to the right is a 9”...

Hello all, Apologies in advance if this is an obvious/ stupid question… if so, please advise if reasoning why. I’m in the middle of ripping out a small room to make an open plan living/dining space. I’m looking to open a new door into the bedroom and close off the current one, so will enter...

Thanks. I found them through Checkatrade so maybe I'll see about that guarantee that they've emailed me twice saying I can activate.

Superb, thanks! A quick look on google and that is indeed what I was trying to get across! Noted on the drawing. I had hoped that doing it Solidworks would have made it easier. I appreciate you taking the time and persevering with them. The first hit on Google was a video of someone talking...

Apparently it isn't? Seems like they don't want to take any liability...? e_p

Hi guys, I'm unsure whether this should be in this section or the building section? Apologies if I've got the wrong section! I am in the process of renovating my bungalow which is removing 3x chimney breasts (2 of which are adjoining one another) and also a small box room. I've had a...

Hello everyone, long time reader but new member! I am trying to change the lock on my patio door which has broken in the open position. I've looked around everywhere and can find replacement locks in Screwfix and how to install them but I am unsure about mine as my door is different. I've...
