Hello Redoing my bathroom. The new tiles I have picked have a stone effect meaning there not flat. All 4 walls will be tiled. Tiles I've picked Im wondering if the bathroom furniture should be installed first, as it maybe hard to get a good seal round the shower enclosure or...

Thanks both. Makes sense to use a 1.5m 3 core + earth. Allows for future proofing. Not sure what sort of back box I would need. Most of these mirror cupboards come with a cable already attached, so you need a spot on the wall for some sort of back box which is also safe for a bathroom.

Hi, Im replacing my bathroom and I need to run a cable down the wall before the tiling gets done. What type of cable should I use for an LED bathroom mirror with a shaving socket? Im looking at this one from B&Q and the manual doesn't advise what size of wire is needed. I wont be wiring it in...

I have a sloped porch with felt tiles. They are watertight but show signs of wear. A roofer advised they don't need replaced right now. Is there a sealer/paint I can use on them to freshen them up and provide some extra protection?

Hello Is there such a thing as a USB powered Lamp Pendant? I have 2 lamps with standard UK plugs (see photo). Is there a USB alternative to these (eg USB socket rather than mains plug). I haven't been able to find anything online. My setup has limited mains sockets, so it would be good to...

I've tidyed up the wires and attached it black to live, white to neutral. Also switched to a 3amp fuse. My gut feeling is the seller didn't understand UK plugs and wired it backwards when he swapped it from a euro one. Everything seems to be working fine.

The is no marks on the outside. There is a CE mark on the inside.

Hi All, Looking for some help. I brought a custom made lamp from Germany and I asked if it could be fitted with a UK plug. The lamp arrived today with said plug and just out of interest I decided to take a look inside. There are only 2 wires (Black and White). The Black was connected to...
