Something like this ? It's what I use. https://www.screwfix.com/p/magnusson-wire-strippers-6-160mm-/4786v

How about these clips, many other similar listings as well. A 'garage' may have some, as I have seen them used on petrol fuel pipes...

Or your alternator not re-charging the battery!

Hi, perhaps keep one of these in stock - https://www.screwfix.com/p/flomasta-brass-compression-pipe-repair-fitting-15mm/85529 Helped me out once - mains cold water feed in attic, restricted access, etc PS, self amalgamating tape will not work on a pipe that has mains water pressure!

Photo 4 plant, scrape a low down twig with your thumb nail on the brown bark. If the revealed colour is brown the shrub is dead. If the revealed colour below the bark is green, then the shrub is alive, and ready to spring into life. (Test one of the other shrubs to reveal the green stem).

How about an upright sleeper wall, Wickes can be a useful supplier https://www.wickes.co.uk/search?text=sleepers+incised. Long life, do NOT paint them, and add a waterproof membrane between them and the patio.

Why not undo the 3 screws and have a look. Most probably power cables. Can't be gas or water as that Tee isn't suitable.

Both new and old are 2 way switches. On the new switch, one wire into COM, common, and the other wire into 1 (1 Way), either way round as it does not matter on a 1 way switch. ('2' would be used on a 2 way circuit) All the best

Could a 'penny' washer provide a large head ? https://www.toolstation.com/search?q=penny+washers

Hi, had similar problem at my daughters house, a replacement euro cylinder lock solved it! Just check the fault exists with both the door closed and the door open. This confirms that all the shoot bolts, levers etc are not to blame...

I get my paper tubes from Carpet shops, they are always pleased to have them removed off site. They comes in various lengths and diameters. Give them a try
