Sorry, didn't notice you'd already linked the same product from a different seller.

Hello Gmc600, This might be worth a punt: https://amzn.eu/d/avMjyXN It might fit where your washing machine is connected and is less than £7. It also means you don't have to touch the boiler condensate pipe. Regards, Huggybear.

Hello Flipjango, I have the exact same toilet. One or both of the bolts is too long touching the yellow or blue flushes. You need to make them shorter by loosening the locking nut and then turning the bolt clockwise. Once you've got the right length redo the locking nut back up to stop the...

Hi Rhysjc, It's either one of these: OR Regards, Huggybear.

Hi MelEMck, When you have sorted this out you will also need to connect the Earth wires from the backbox to the new switch as it is metal. Regards, Huggybear.

Hi Markyyyyyy, You should have used cable glands for them junction boxes, because over time water will run down into the one above your door number. Also that one has been installed on its side. Regards, Huggybear.

Hi Paul, You should use something like this: https://www.wickes.co.uk/Deta-30A-12-Way-Connector-Strip/p/710112 and cover it over with one of these if it is temporary: https://www.wickes.co.uk/Wickes-Single-Blanking-Plate---White/p/710192 This is safer than leaving the cables sticking out with...

Hi Someonelse, I've never had any problems with LAP stuff myself. It's Screwfix own make, so will be the same as Diall from B&Q. They are the same company. I bought a load of LAP/Diall bulbs when I first moved into my house about eight years ago and have only changed about two or three in...

Yes that's correct.

Hello Themoo, Make a hole about here (or see if there is a gap under the worktop) and pull down if the hose is long enough. If not, you will have to buy an extension hose and cut to length. Regards, Huggybear.
