My new build property has extractor fan wall plate on the outside wall that looks like the following plate When the extractor is on the flaps open from the air created. However, that part of my wall on windy days gets badly hit by the wind and I find these flaps constantly breaking. I’ve...

Those look good, they are 60mm so what size screws and length should I get? Considering the block is about 100mm plus the thickness of the plasterboard

Which screw types? Do you have any example?

It’s the aerated breeze blocks. Just winder will 95 to 100mm m8 or m10 coach bolts not work ? Using long plugs and just hammer the plug into the cavity ? Or perhaps those long hammer in type frame screws like these: https://www.screwfix.com/p/easyfix-frame-fixings-8-x-120mm-10-pack/17480

I have a large wall mount cabinet that is a floating cabinet that needs to be wall mounted to a wall. The wall has a dot and dab plasterboard and behind this plasterboard is 4" breeze block. Can I use coach bolts with wallplugs to mount this or is there better fixings?

Good point. I have one of those 90 degree angle attachments for my driver. So that may come in handy. I also have a ACDelco Cordless Ratchet ARW1209P that i use for car work and works a treat. Can tighten upto 61nm. So that might help in tightening the hex head socket driven screws

Socket bit idea is probably better as I prefer driving using socket because it doesn't slip like screw heads do. So something like this: https://www.screwfix.com/p/turbocoach-hex-flange-coach-screws-m6-x-70mm-100-pack/22717 This will be equivalant to the 6mm that was recommended by @cdbe and I...

What sort of thickness size battens do the one in this picture look like. So, pre-drill the battens and countersink screws through them going straight into the joists. Any particular type of screws? and how much screw length should pretude after it comes out of the batten? in other words how...

Currently I have a bathtub that was installed by developers when house was a new-build about 14 years ago. I’m planning to remove the tub. The entire bathroom floor is currently what looks like tongue and groove chipboard and the floor is tiled upto the bathtub. I’ve purchased a 1700x800x25mm...

This may be a odd question. But I have a 1700 shower tray made in stone cast resin with an anti slip coating. I got it early because I managed to get a good deal but it’s not going to be installed until July/August. And being so big it’s taking up a lot of space. Was considering wrapping it in...

At my work place we have a big canopy that's held up by 100x100mm metal posts. I need to attached a conduit ducting to run wire down along the side of it. One option I think is to glue down a flat trunking. Other option is to attach conduit with a few screws. Just wondering is it safe to drill...

This may sound like a odd question but I have TPMS sensors inside my tyre. The sensors have option to change the battery which is supposed to last about 5+ years. The cover is held in by tiny 4 screws. The screws thread into metal nuts on the housing. But it just got me thinking. When this...

I am looking at getting the gerberit wall hanging frame and it's somewhat confusing because they have so many different variations. I am looking at the UP320 and it seems it comes in Sigma and Delta. From what I think i understand is that the delta and sigma are two different types of cisterns...

Thank you all for your replies. It’s reassuring :) I’m looking to get the Gerberit UP320 frame with the Sigma cistern. How do I know which toilet pans are compatible with this frame?

I’m looking to install a wall hung toilet system that comes with the metal frame. Looking at all these systems they all have similar installation method where there is essentially two bolts coming out of the metal frame. The toilet pan the. Hangs on these two bolts flush against the wall and...

Below is a picture of the unit. The bit that concerned me at first was where the wire enters the unit. The wire seems to be sealed with what looks like hot glue melt which is by no means water-tight. I did put tiger-seal around that originally. Then you have the bit where the lens meets the...

These reflectors are aftermarket chinese ones that have the reflection lens inside but have an outter LED lit like a rectangler border. So the LED part of it has stopped working.
