Looks ok to me? I am not a plumber. It looks like a new boiler added to old pipe work.? With the general mix of pipes, I’d assume it will be boxed in later.

Assuming that the lights are LED, and the CE marking is genuine, probably YES. The only real danger is the PSU overheating. It would be sensible to have them on a timer so the supply gets a chance to cool down.

You might be able to fit an additional screw over the top of the mirror once it’s hung on the cleat? We used to do similar. The screw would hopefully be out of vision at the top and prevents the mirror being lifted above the release point. A bit of heat shrink on the WAGOS would probably be...

Couldn’t you use inline commando sockets? Ok you’d have a tail but if you cut the fixed mains lead long enough to sit the join on the ground, the unit will still be portable yet extendable

Either a fire door or make one out of 2x2 frame covered in thick ply filled with plasterboard.

Is there any insulation in the other internal walls? I’d go for rockwool in the cavity, and plasterboard /timber over the faces. Double up on the plasterboard if you can and use a mastic or similar to seal joins. Sound goes around corners, so it the side room has a door that’s flimsy, you will...

I assume that this is the side passageway of a terrace at the rear? And there will be a window above? As suggested, use a rope from above to hold the weight. I would acquire a big cardboard box (as a source of sheet material) that I could slide behind the bars to protect the glass I’d cut the...

A mate had one of those. If you stood close enough, you could hear it rust

A well built MDF box surround will be in compression. The wardrobe is made the same way.

To be fair, the pipes look like they haven’t been touched in years. If they were under the floor, there could well be a wardrobe on top? Is the wardrobe white? I would go to b&Q and buy some 18mm contiboard shelving that’s faced on all edges. Get a length of 2x2 as well and buy the cheapest...

Worst case ring 111 and they can book you in through A&E . You could just turn up at A&E but through 111 seems quicker. Different case, but after I fell from a ladder, 24 hours later I rang 111 and they booked me a check-in at A&E in 2 hrs. Arrived and checked in, waited 15 mins (in a crowded...

Motorbikes followed by Triumph Acclaim (Honda civic)

The upstands could be screwed through, with gripfill or similar. I used the square tube because we used it everywhere. I suppose that it might(?) deflect less? I’d use whatever you have available, or easier for you.

I used to build a fair few bench like desks similar to your plan. I used speedframe black square steel tube (25mm ) Theoretically you could use it in place of the timber, but I would just use the timber and add a couple of 2.6 lengths across the width 100mm in and midway between there and the...

Hardly an assassination? Trump was at the White House (makes a change!) The attacker (?) was in Florida. He had a can of petrol and a shotgun so hardly “the mechanic”

Do you have any spare material? Under a cupboard/bed? Or spare up the loft? You can cut matching patches if so. I always leave offcuts under the bath/kitchen units.

A mate has lived in a house for probably 30 years where there is a bricked up window in the main room. There’s a narrow passageway on that side of the house that still has the window in it. We didn’t notice when he bought it, inside looks normal. It was a probate sale so no idea when it was...

It wouldn’t be that hard to lay a low level pipe at a slight angle below the power socket, followed by a corner and a short piece (again at a slight angle) to a boss on the down pipe. I am assuming that the down pipe is concerted in. (It is in my house) Then at the water butt end either one of...

Not sure, but probably. Use a spade if removing the tiles. Be aware that old tiles could have small amounts of asbestos. I hope someone can chip in about using leveler over existing tiles.

Wouldn’t self leveler be better?
