Think I'd just rather replace it tbh mate. I know they are not supposed to be in place permanently. Looks a simple job just need something to catch the water.

Hi all Sure I read in here that people prefer to use a compression joint with appropriate inserts rather than a standard JG plastic coupler. Am I correct here? Thanks.

Never had x2 ball valves fail. Then again they are not the best when not used.

Hi all My filling loop is passing slightly and only one isoline slightly (one that used to have plastic thumb turn on on/left one) Can anyone confirm is this the correct one I require. Looks like standard 15mm with one way valve. Is this just what I require? Thanks

Hi all Laying 12m2 20mm porcelain. 150x900 edges are in and even with a 115mm thin 1.4mm blade I had tiny chips. I made them better with a 40 grade flap disc. I used an RDX super thin disc. - https://amzn.eu/d/0g9XxvDa I'm now onto the 600x900 and thinking what's the best process. People...

Awesome. After years of using canned stuff with screw on plastic tubes this ses The way forward. Just got googled now what the end twist/adjustable cap is for? Allow a certain amount of air in I presume? Leave it open or closed after use? There again if it's not been mentioned it. Ants do...

I'll be using it regularly For new door frames tbh. Plus any other holes I can find. But again the end of the nozzle where it exits is exposed and will expand/harden? That was my point sorry. I premed it had to be flushed out after each use. Or I was going to cap off/tape the end so it's...

For years I've used cans but there is no control. I was even purchasing in bulk and most would go off. I had the cheapest Screwfix one plus the cartridge cleaner (probably some wd40 generic stuff). What I don't u understand is that you keep the foam cartridge attached. So you treat it...

Hi all Looking to get a decent foam gun that will last as I have door frames and other areas to fill. I've viewed Screwfix/Toolstation and its mixed messages tbh. Some plastic parts etc. Anyone who regularly uses one recommend one? Plus do i require the cleaning agent to keep it running...

Cheers guys. I'm heading there this afternoon to kick the ceiling below through as obviously that is out. (It's lathe Covered with board). I have the tools and even a laser level so I'll bang that on and send a pic. Also have a circ saw. I did once level the floors by just going on...

No way can I take up the existing joists. I've removed all floorboards. It now runs 6m by as above taking in a bathroom and landing. Easiest option is to cross existing joists instead of laying:cutting a a peice of timber on top of each existing one.. I just want it to be quiet and solid.

Not ground floor.

On non switched fused spurs outside in hallways. Thanks

Hi all Renovating one of my properties I purchased 15 years with subsidence at the rear extension (28 years old). Property is over 120 years old. When I first purchased it I made do by literally screwing 2x1 roofing battens at the back extension on top of the existing floorboards/cut...

I think a simple 'hidden' fused isolator will suffice. Cant see them pulling a fuse tbh. Thanks

What is that type of seal? Plus where could I mount them out of reach??

One of my other properties has them fitted above the doorway/entrance to bathroom and kitchen. Tenant keeps turning them off as she reckons it makes the rooms cold. Starting to get black mould in areas now and have never had problems before. Cheers

I don't think they will bother to remove a fuse tbh. The Envirovent fans are silent on when on constantly/trickle. They will only be aware of them when boost is activated. The reason is I have had this before with fan isolators being fitted and mould/no air flow in bathrooms and found fan...

Hi all Cracking on with rewire on one of my properties and done x2 rings and ripped out all the old wiring etc. Looking to fit x2 constant trickle fans. One in bathroom and one in kitchen. The kitchen one was fed from a switched fused spur (4" hole already there). The bathroom one...

It dues se a bit dodgy. I've decided on this now. 0.8mm thick and good reviews. https://ebay.us/m/LGmvUA What taps are you guys fitting from Screwfix/Toolstation or similar? something modern and simple (don't want pull out shower head etc) and that can be replaced if fault occurs. Plus what...
