Hi folks, I am looking for some advice on a good transition from laminate to carpet? I have included a few photographs. Should I just add a bit of laminate plank until it is directly under the door? I can then cut the carpet a little until they match up under the door (when closed) and...

Yes, the bowl has sprung a leak.

Hi guys, Our water filter has sprung a leak and has been soaking the corner of my garage. We have water coming from an external private supply. Can any of you name this part for me, or tell me what a suitable modern replacement would be? I can shut off the water and fit it. I just don't...

I probably could, Crank, but this is a Facebook marketplace door that would save us a significant amount.

Hi guys, We have an external split Dutch door that has seen better days. It measures 1970 x 840. We have seen a decent, affordable replacement, although it measures 1970 x 810. Would it be possible to fit this door in our opening? If so, should I add some timber to the existing frame on...

Thanks for the help, guys. All sorted. Did a continuity test, found the switch live and connected the light. Cheers, J.

Unfortunately, I did not take a photograph. Lesson learned!

Thanks, JS. One stairway light controlled by two switches. One upstairs and one downstairs. The upstairs switch on the wall does not currently work. I am due to replace all of the switches when I have finished the lights. I tested with the downstairs switch on and off. There was no change in...

Hi guys, I need a little more wiring advice for my sixth and final light. Please see the attached photo. The lower red gives a reading of 240v with the left black and 220v with the top black. The red wire on the right gives no reading when tested with either of the blacks. How can I...

Thanks again for you help, guys. Hugely appreciated. That's number 5 installed. Just need to figure out how to get high enough to change the fitting above the stairs now!

Awesome, Taylor. Thank you!

Sorry, absolute numpty error by me. I didn't have the light switch on! Now measuring 240v between one red and black. Also reading 240v between earth and that red. No reading from the other red/black.

I have now tested the wires using a multimeter. I disconnected the old fitting, switched the power off and separated the wires to allow for safe testing. Switched the power back on and tested all wires. Tested between both blacks and earth and both reds and earth. All of the readings were...

Firstly, thanks for the prompt replies. Much appreciated! The light is on a hallway with several other lights, and yes, the light currently works. Do I need to consider one of the blacks being a switched live and terminating the two reds? Or simply connect red to brown, blue to black and the...

Hi guys, So far, I have managed to install 4 of my 6 ceiling lights with some research and great forum advice. I should point out at this stage that I do my homework and I would not be installing anything that I was not 100% sure about. In the 5th light fitting, I have come across an unusual...
