    A simple issue with new socket switch?

    So, the socket works normally with some 10-15 items I plugged in, except this socket won’t power on unless I push hard on the plug. Where I will have a mitre saw plugged into it, having to push the plug in isn’t ideal. I was wondering do I replace the socket, or do I replace the plug? No idea...

    Mitre saw spare parts.

    I found them… they were taped inside the mitre saw. I have built a mini workshop, which basically houses my work bench and tools that allows me to use the grand space of outdoors when needed, so I thought I would give my tools a clean before they go bolted down into the workspace. I found them...

    Require electric but landlord says no

    The socket that was fused I would say as it’s in the kitchen, and directly above the deep fryer the fat got into the outer casing of the switch and got stuck, or weakened the plastic over time and made it brittle and this made it break so it couldn’t be turned off. the plug that exploded hours...

    Outdoor small bbq kitchen failure - a simple fix?/

    Nothing to do with the bbq structure wise, just allows storage and prep area. I am unsure what is the best course of action here, as the frame around the bbq is not attached, the bbq breaking from the back, which has made the grease to pour out and catch fire at the time, according to my mum...

    What do they do? Can they force the landlord to send someone? I am not fully sure but I think my doctor recommended that I don’t get a social worker involved in my health. I do have an O.T. Though, maybe they can do something as they were the ones who got all of the stuff that I need…

    Hello i was going to install armoured cable from my kitchen (hard wired) to my outdoor mini work area. I am now thinking of just using a regular uk 3 pin plug to the empty socket in my kitchen so we can easily stop power as it’s only going to be needed every so often. This should be okay right...
