Thanks for the comments - leant something new that LAP are just screwfix own! I will be getting the BG ones which look almost exactly the same - more expensive but worth it to get rid of the whining noise in my bedroom!
Didn’t know they were screwfix!
Would something like this be a better quality? http://www.bgelectrical.uk/uk/wiring-devices/nexus-metal/range/usb-charging-sockets/NBN22UAC30B-01

Have installed a couple of these in my room - mostly for the usb c function.
The issue is when ever there’s something plugged into the...
Hi all
Have recently decorated my room and used Dulux trade oil based egg shell for the skirtings etc. unfortunately it’s taken way longer than I’d have liked and I’ve only finished the skirting painting today.
I had carpet due to be fitted Monday but I’ve put this back to Wednesday just to...
Hey
Am planning to fit some new skirting / architrave in my living room. Looking up online it looks like it’s fairly straight forward - though of course things always look easy before they start!
Just wondering if anyone had any hints / tips for doing this? My worry is dealing with walls not...
Maybe I mixed it wrong but I did create abit of a mess when I last tried a mist coat - thihk I made it too watered down not helped that it was a ceiling too!
Will look at this thank you - I assume I can just paint that onto the bare plaster let this dry and then apply my top final coats?
Hey
Does anyone know if the Dulux Plaster Sealer has been discontinued?
I’m having some plastering done soon and was planning to get some of this to seal the plaster before painting - I know I can make my own mist coat but I’ve always found this ready made Dulux stuff easier to work with and...
Hey
Am planning to run a through Ethernet runs to different rooms around my flat.
Rather conveniently (I hope) the previous owner had boxing put along most of the rooms to hide radiator pipes / aerial cables etc - im hoping this will be the perfect place to do most of the Ethernet runs...
This has crossed my mind and obviously I don’t want to cause issues for anyone else - have decided anything I do with it will be done by a proper aerial fitter - not only that but being the 2nd floor would rather someone more comfortable working at heights drilling the new hole!
That does look...
Thanks for that will take apart and take another look - the wall is dot and dab - the cable to the box runs upwards outside so I could just drill a hole further down and get it into that boxing by the sounds of it - thank you!
Hey
I have a communal socket in my living room - since getting blinds over curtains it sticks out like a sore thumb! Next year I plan to redecorate and want to hide as many of these cables as I can.
It provides both freeview and satellite signal (although I have my own sky dish as the...
Great thanks this makes sense - if it was the first option to have just L&N at the switch without running a new cable I guess that would mean the lights would have permanent power to them without any room switch control other than controlling them smartly.
This is fine for me (our light...
Hey
I’m looking to buy some small 4” wall panel displays to put up in each room to give control over the smart lights and other smart bits in the room. Have bought one so far just to test out which is just plugged in to mains but works well.
I’d like them installed on the wall next to the...

Am looking to order some hard wired blinds from a US company to the UK (unfortunately no UK ones seem to offer what I'm after)
They give the choice between 12V DC and 110-240V AC.
I assume both options would be fine in the UK but 110 - 240V AC would be most straightforward for an...
