Just stripped the old wallpaper.. and the previous guy who stripped the other wall paper has left scrapes all over the wall.. (Supposed professional) I have just filled with filler and will sand out.. it's a new build so the walls are pretty smooth.. Will I need lining paper?

Hi all.. I have a wall 4300 long and have panel wall paper 530 in width.. so just over 8 lengths needed. Any advice as this wall paper has a panel pattern on it like below.. do I still start in the middle and add a little 50mm slither at the ends? Also I have some drywall filler that has...

Thanks pal, Yes that is what I will do.. wondered about the foam.. suppose that will help with the missing insulations aswell

Hi all, I have a 50mm hole going from the living room through to the external wall and outside, this is where cables ran. It is dot and dab, breeze block insulation then brick.. what is the best way to fill the hole internally and externally ? Also do I need to add more insulation ? Thanks...

Why would I extend the HDMI.. ? It is to be able to move the box from the corner of the room.. https://www.kenable.co.uk/en/video-cables/satellite-cable-tv/satellite-cable/7410-twin-satellite-moulded-f-type-plug-to-socket-rg6-extension-cable-10m-black-007410-5055383474103.html I don't...

The reply was very condescending.... such as "Are you going to repeat the same mistake when the TV is relocated?" & "God knows what coax you've bought from Kenable. Most of what I see there is either the moulded cable junk or the crappy CCS RG6" Why not offer an alternative ? I'm sure you are...

Strange reply... angry little man TV is at the perfect height.. yes I can see what I need to do.. as just questioning joists as there will be quite a few holes

Just bought the best stuff from Kenable... So I think the joists are running left to right should they be 400mm apart ? going to be alot of holes !

Yeah suppose I can do that... She will love me when she sees the holes

I need to move the TV from one side of the room to the other... But the Sky cable will need extending... It will look awful clipped on the skirting.. so I'll fish it across like the blue in the picture. Will I have any issues? I don't mind making a few holes as it's getting repainted. Just...

Hi all.. What fixing would you suggest for this going into breeze block ? Thanks Mark

Thanks all.. Just for my own piece of mind... you cannot double spur from a ring unless you introduce a FCU.. but with a radial as stated you seem to be able to spur off multiple times.. is that correct ?

Sorry yes correct

Quick question.. Radial circuit as below.. is socket 1 classed as a spur as it's fed via the JB? Apposed to having 2 legs.. one to the next socket? Thanks all!

Also the vents in the actual door itself, I need to block them how would you suggest that? The gap around the top in the pictures I think I'll expanding foam, cut back then silicone.. can I put expanding foam in the vents in the metal door?

Hi all.. I'm insulating my garage door.. but there is a massive gap at the top. What would be the best way to fill this?

Thanks Terry.. I've left it in the wago and taped it up marked up live. The disconnected wires came out by themselves.. house builders ! They are for the 2 way light upstairs. I was just baffled that I couldn't make the cable dead.. If it gets changed again I'll do a continuity test and find...

Hi all.. Just replaced an old Pir Light with a new one. The old required 3c and earth, but the new one 2c and earth. Simple enough... but the spare wire which I should now disconnect from the switch isn't dead I've disconnected the wires at the switch but nothing works it stays live...

Yes mate.. let me ask the question.. she probably won't want the carpet lifting!

Comes down to it.. and it's a new build so chipwood floorboard
