No it's just a crack. Light fitting wire bends away from it

Hi I have removed a few some 'lovely' textured ceiling paper. However, I am left with several cracks in the ceiling plaster. The ceiling has very little movement so planning to just get on with decorating it. My question is should I just fill the cracks and paint over them or wallpaper then...

Thanks this worked

Hi hoping someone a lot more knowledgeable than me can assist. One of our security lights is out. I suspect it is the light not the sensor as the light is a lot older. I would like to attach a smaller light to the circuit rather than replacing the original light (it is about 5 metres up and...

Thanks for everyone's input this was a wiring issue which Sunray's image solved

Yes turn cord off and turn it back on a fuse box and light works. Pull cord and it trips again

Hi all Fitted a new light in our closet. Existing wiring just a different light fitting. Worked fine before. Now when I turn it off it trips the system. Thought it was the fuse near the light but turns out there was never a fuse in there anyway. Wires appear to be where they were originally so...

Hi A bit puzzled at the moment. I removed a section of central heating pipe that had a screw put through it. Since then we have had no hot water or central heating. To solve the issue so far I have done the following: - Bled all the radiators (alot of air released from those near the fixed pipe...

Hi I have a pressure gauge on the outside pipe just before it enters our house. It has started leak. Is it just a case of turning the water off then swapping it for a new one. Do I even need a pressure gauge or could I just close it off? Thanks in advance Kev

Thanks I can't locate the other of end of the wire so will have a think about the easiest alternatives. Appreciated

I have a couple of these outlets by windows in the kitchen and bathroom. One is currently attached to a working extractor fan in the bathroom so I assume the one pictured did the same in the kitchen (wires are still live). My question is...can you buy blanking plates this size and also working...
