Generally speaking, are flexi tails that come with a new kitchen taps any good? Or do professional plumbers bin these and use a branded type? I want to do the job once and not have to worry for at least 2 years.

Thanks for input guys. I need to stop blowing out bricks and can't keep using the excuse that 'it's covered, nobody will see it or care' RCD protection is a must and protect the cable

Youtube Short Outdoor Socket Install After opinions from Professional Sparks If you were fitting this outdoor socket, what would you do different (if anything) and why? If the job doesn't need improving/ perfectly satisfactory, please say too.

Vaillant >> Had mine since 2014, never serviced once and hasn't skipped a beat

We need to replace our existing kitchen mixer tap and the price of these seemed good (especially for a black one) However, i am not a tap specialist and wanted advice on whether the two below are 'good, quality' taps? They would be fitted to a ceramic sink...

My thoughts exactly.. Wago 221's are a no brainer for me. Ease of use, dependabilty, speed and features (e.g. maintenance free when used with wago box etc). Unless OP will see a significant saving by bulk buying the alternatives.

Thanks for the advice guys

Or does the entire carpet need to be replaced, as repair is not possible/will be noticible? Carpet is short pyle Hot iron caused damage. It's in an open area ie not under a table, bed or closet

Thanks. Def not plumbing or ground moisture. The damp imprint is in the exact place the mattress was in contact with the wall. Vent is closed and never opened as room becomes an ice box. Room has windows Will upload a pic later. Thanks Thanks

Thanks. Would love to, but far too much work mate. Remove skirting, remove loads of laminate and underlay.. Some will inevitably get damaged and I don't have enough spare planks. Not to mention the time reinstating and decorating Will start off with 'Fix-A-Floor' and see how I get on. Guess...

Looking to insulate a solid wall and had some queries 1. Is there a recommended insulation thickness backed up by building regs? 2. If one was to purchase the PB and PIR Insulation separately, what is the best/recommended product to use to stick them together? 3. When fixing insulated PB to...

An area of my laminate flooring is deflecting and bouncy. Besides glue injector kits such as Fix-A-Floor and Floor-Fix Pro are there any other efficient and reliable ways to fix this laminate flooring defect in 2025?

Indeed. You did call it It's on the way right now..

Thanks Is there a minimum PB insulation thickness one should aim for to prevent condensation and be able to butt furniture/wardrobes right up to the wall? OP apologies for all the questions. Not trying to hijack your thread

So even with insulated plasterboard e.g. 37.5mm or 52.5mm, to prevent condensation/mould developing, the back of the cupboard should A. Not touch the wall? B. Not get too close to the wall? e.g. 2 inches from wall C. Both the above?
