    Would it make any difference if the pipes were run in a trunking and tiled over? or is the problem to do with access if there is a leak?

    Sorting out a plumber's mess, redoing the plumbing for a basin. Help appreciated

    Yes, That is a good idea. This was my plan all along. Having searched far and wide, the vanity units I could find for sale looked cheap but were darn expensive. having one built for me was over £1k and that was 3 years ago.

    Fixing a cut aerial cable

    I don't mind buying good and more expensive cable. I just want to get it somewhere local so that I don't have to wait ages for it. It just occurred to me to ask, when getting the cable to extend the cut areal cable, do I need to use the same type of cable for the extension?

    Fixing a cut aerial cable

    I'm not fixed on getting the cable at screwfix. I'm happy to get it elsewhere and look for a cable with copper conductors. From what I read RG6 is the best cable for the job. Is that right? And if so I can look this cable with copper conductors elsewhere.

    Fixing a cut aerial cable

    My areal cable outside the house has been cut so I need to repair it. Given that it is exposed to the elements, should I repair it with a couple of F-plug connectors joined with an F-to-F adaptor? Or should I do it another way to make it waterproof?

    Is the Kreg KHI Concealed Hinge Jig (or equivalent) good for inset hinges? (1)

    Are these the screws you mean? These screws aren't cheap. Is that what the pros buy if they need to use this hinge?

    My cabinet looks like diagramme A. I plan to use the Blum 71B3750 or the 75T1750 which i think is the sprung version of the same hinge (i think).

    Understood. There are lots of sets of three Vix bits being sold and I don't know if I need it. What size of Vix bit do I need for the Blum concealed hinges?

    Is the Kreg KHI Concealed Hinge Jig (or equivalent) good for inset hinges? (1)

    When I say that the screw holes are off, I am not talking about it being off-centre. I mean that the hinge ends up not square if the screw holes drilled with the jig are used.

    I'll probably use a drill bit for the reasons you mention. I'm only drilling holes for a few doors.
