    Tile removal advice needed

    Hello. My son wants to change the tiles in his hallway. The existing ones look like they're set in concrete. Could anyone give advice on how best to remove them? (He hasn't a lot of money so will prob need to do it himself unless it would need skills that are beyond him). I suspect its a big...

    Replacing shaver light - wired to the mains circuit

    I don't know about the fused spur - the cabling disappears into a tiled wall so it's gone from view at that point. I got alerted to the Lighting or Ring circuit when I had a look at the replacement unit's fitting instructions - wanted to check there was nothing I didn't understand before...

    Replacing shaver light - wired to the mains circuit

    Hello. My shaver light/socket (inherited with the flat a decade ago) has failed so I'm going to replace it....but when isolating it have found it's supplied from the House Ring circuit breaker (B32) rather than the Lighting (B6) one, both on the same RCD. Had planned only on replacing the shaver...

    Does anyone recognise this tap....?

    Hello. I need to open up this tap as it's sticking a wee bit and is sometimes left dribbling when people think they've turned out off. But I don't know what type it is for looking up how to get into it - I don't want to use a screwdriver to try to lever up the dome and end up damaging the...

    As Mr Gove said, who needs experts? Electric toothbrush engineers - they'll do. :notworthy:

    My toilet cistern keeps making sneezing noise at me!

    Thanks both for your replies. Problem has been solved now...it was the obvious thing really! A misbehaving electric toothbrush on the tiles above it was vibrating, the vibrations travelling down and echoing around in the little space between the cistern and the tiles behind it, and sounding like...

    My toilet cistern keeps making sneezing noise at me!

    Maybe a sign I've given it covid? The cistern - side lever, not top button - or even the supply & drain pipes behind it has started making a sneezing type of noise which I notice when the cistern is full, about once every minute or two minutes. Might also happen when the cistern is empty but...

    Screwfix

    I didn't have the best of experiences with Plusnet, and found the free router not powerful enough (and I'm not in a big place nor does it have thick walls). Didn't think they were helpful enough during the contract so took my business elsewhere at the end of it.

    Shattered shower screen

    No-one in the room. The shower screen has been in place for 6-7 years, no cracks, no obvious stresses in the screen, and it just exploded. If there was no-one in the room how do I know it exploded...because of where I found the bits - in every inch of the bathroom and they had arrived there with...

    Thanks Chris. He did mention a drip so I'll replace the cartridge/insert.
