So if I just pop a wago clip on the end of each one, that will be suitable?

Hello, I'm soon going to be redecorating the front room, so so went to remove a fascia plate from our Google Nest thermostat and noticed something odd with the cabling. This was installed by an electrician about 3 years ago The red and blue cables are terminated into T1 and T2, but the...

Thanks for all the suggestions, think I'll try with those slim Ideal push connectors, I reckon they will fit in the fan casing. If they don't, plenty of other excellent suggestions. Thank you.

Unfortunately I've temporarily put things back together until I can next have a go in a few days time. However I can confirm the new fan is an Envirovent Silent 100T (the old one was a Manrose, I can't remember the model). If I could use the wago's without an enclosure and stuff them up the...

Hi all, I need to replace a bathroom extractor fan, but the cable for the existing fan is too short to reach the connections on the new fan (different make). The cable currently comes down a small hole in the ceiling next to the vent pipe. I can't see an easy way for me to install a junction...

Thanks, I think so too but as I am not sure how a waste pipe is normally connected underneath the floor I was a little concerned. It's a good suggestion from the other reply to pour a load of water down there just to make sure nothing unexpected happens before I lay the floor and finish...

How could I open it up? The floor boards are big tongue and groove chipboard sheets and I can't really see how I could lift them without damage.

Hi, I'm currently doing a renovation to my under stairs ground floor toilet. Last week I had the plasterer in and I have noticed that he had rotated the waste pipe where it disappears through the chipboard subfloor 180 degrees to allow him better access. I am not really sure how the waste...

And what about where the plywood joins? Should I use anything to cover the joint?

I will be as careful as I can be, I have no idea where they are. Will just play it safe and be very cautious when screwing. What is the normal depth of chipboard flooring in a late 1990s house?

I was asking for that . I just wasn't sure if screws just into the chipboard sub floor would be enough and I may need adhesive as well. What sort of distance apart should the screws be please?

The LVT Click flooring I have specifically says not to use an underlay (this was also re-advised by the shop floor worker when purchasing it)

Hi, I am currently part way through a renovation of a small downstairs WC. I have removed the old floor tiles (which were about 11mm with the adhesive) and will be laying some LVT planks which are only 5mm. I need to make up the remaining 6mm so it doesn't look like a big step down from the...

What about cleaning it? Doesn't it get marked from the soap splashes etc?

Thanks for the tips so far, I have just discovered that these tiles are made from Teak, so I am not sure if that makes find the suitable product easier?
