I am sure a very silly question but best to ask. So this would be outside, can I get any type from like screwfix, tools station? or is there any specific one for outside. I don't really want to get it wrong and then by later this year, have the clip rusting and staining the wall with rust...

yes indeed communal hallway from Freehold - yes hence why wanted to double check - do one submission every January now - but i do not trust myself with the reading! gosh and then it would have been a fight to get this corrected if i had submitted that wrong number! they so eager to take your...

amazing - thanks so much, I will never never get it right! I should ready get a smart meter installed - but as it is for the communal hallway can't really bother - and unsure of the benefit for that communal hallway anyway to have smart meter vs that old dial one.

HNY 2025 - despite my best intentions and following instructions, often get it wrong so thought I would double check what people are reading. 83241 kWh I am sure i got it wrong again :-(

Oh, yes what I mean is replaceable bulb not the new fancy light fitting with non- replaceable led bulb.

So ideally, what we need is something with bulb rather than LED with motion sensor and ideally 400 lumens / 2700K if anyone has any recommendation for online supplier that might provide this, I would take any recommendations as I realised the previous option might not be suitable.

good idea as did not realised this was LED which means each time, it failed, need to replace the whole unit again.

When you say overkill, do you mean too bright? is my understanding correct? Ok let me go hunting for something more gentle and subtle so we don't feel been blazed out by the light!

Thanks for the feedback, Would the key switch not be the answer to that?

Thanks so much for all the advice and recommendations. Really appreciated.

I know I should really get an eletrician to do the job, but I feel with the right advise, I should be able to do it easily. (i know I need to switch off full electricity before to venture closer to touch anything) I just open the switch as well earlier today and might need further direction on...

oh amazing! So a plate like this https://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/CLCMA311.html with a key switch https://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/MKK4898.html and a normal switch https://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/MKK4882.html Thought there are so many different range of switch - any...

Hi DIY Expert, So we are looking to replace the outside light with a sensor one and have come across this model. https://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/LEFULLMBK.html It is mentionned : Lumens: 1150lm and was curious to understand how bright this was. As we don't want something like floor light...

Thanks all for your feedback - greatly appreciated. Patience is key to let it dry properly and then apply Salt neutraliser before to paint again is the plan of action.

What did you do to get it stabilize? Just let it dry? any treatment before to paint or prepared the area? How would you know it is stable? Can you measure humidity in the wall with fancy gadget / tool from Amazon?

Looking for expertise here A damp issue was repaired which was caused by gutter leaks which resulted in one small area of the internal walls to bubble and paint flaking off. I have scrapped the loose paint and apply filler and repainted. but now couple of week later, as you can see the...

Now, 3 weeks after, this is how the wall look like... kind of how it was before... no clue what to do ... Weather has been quite good - so what is causing this?

it use to be damp but now it is dry when hand on the wall. what we see as damp is more the colour difference on the paint. (as not done a good job one could say) I am more concern on the paint peeling powdering - little bubble and when touching the surface, it is like powder. does that means...

So we getting some work done on the roof (block of 4 flat with share of the freehold) And we been debating, should we keep the terrestrial TV antenna there or not? How do we know if the antenna still work and provide signal?
