I had to fiddle with the plug when plugging in.

Faulty connection in socket. Will be swapping to double socket anyway so all good. :)

That’s strange. I plugged in a multitool and it didn’t work. It did work in other sockets though.

Hi, i have a socket ( blue circle) which was behind a fireplace powering an electric fire. The red circle is the isolating switch containing a 13amp fuse. (also see fuse box photo) I want to use the socket to power a mounted tv but am wary of amp differences. What do i need to change to...

Yep, only a bead on the outside according to the supplier instructions. Tbh as long as the bottom inside isn’t sealed so water can drain away i don’t see why not, but i thought best follow instructions. Anyway, i took the frame off, seal compromised. I’ve also knocked in a couple of batons...

Hi all, i have recently installed a shower and I’m getting a leak at both ends right at the very outside edge underneath, almost outside the shower screen. One end is directly underneath, the other end almost outside the door frame. The shower is well sealed all around the bottom with several...

I'm removing a bath and replacing with a shower. In the picture you can see the 22mm pipe to the bath coming from a plastic type tee fitting that i'm unfamiliar with. Looking for advice on the best wat to cap this. The difficultly is that the pipe runs along the floor. Can anyone recommend the...

We had some coloured rendering done about 4 weeks ago. A scratch coat was applied and then a second coat which was finished using a scratch float. The renderer however has missed several spots which is spoiling the finish. We've asked the guy to come back. We do have 5 bags of leftover render...

Hi, We're looking at re-laying out patio. We've seen both 10 mm and 20mm tiles, the 20mm tiles are of course much more expensive. Would we really need 20mm tiles? Or would 10mm tiles laid on an appropriate surface concrete/cement be ok?

Pretty sure its sharp sand underneath & no concrete. We lifted a flag a couple of years ago to put a washing line pole in.

We are Getting an extension built and are waiting on a quote from out builder for a patio. We are supplying the tile, but what kind of price can I expect for lifting an existing patio ( flag stones ) prepping and re-tiling. Approx 26 sq metre. We've also asked for a short garden wall, approx...
