We deserve what we get in this country. Keep voting in clowns, enjoy the clown show

Hi all, I've had some recent external works done and in the process of temporarily relocating my aerial it became loose and fell which has caused a split in the cable. What would be the best way of repair the cable without replacing the entire length of cable ? Thanks

I can't get access from above but I could go from below and lift the carpet there. Putting a carpet back as it was before though is definitely not within my remit haha

I realise the age of this thread but I actually have a question in relation to this. I have a light switch on a wall behind a door which I would like to change to the opposite wall and side of the door. I'm happy to leave a blanking plate in place of the existing switch and use wagos. The...

That's excellent. I didn't even know these existed!

Most plasterers will not want to deal with the electrics. Assuming that you want this, probably £500-600

You have penetrating damp of some description. No amount of stain blocker is going to solve your problem. You need to find out how the moisture is getting it and address the route cause. ''Outside has been rendered'' - It would be worth checking the integrity of the render.

Sorry to be a dimwit, but why would the old lime be hacked out? Assuming most of it will be in reasonable enough condition? Is lime mortar going back in or cement ?

Having to spend prolonged amounts of time near cat and dog poo - it stinks.

Who knows if the OP is still around but that's a great answer Meldrews. I do wonder then why larger inverters aren't fitted as standard in most domestic PV installations as surely this is quite a common problem ? Is it to avoid batteries being fully discharged and thereby speeding up their...

Mate if you think this is bad you ain't seen nothing ! I think it can get a whole lot worse !

Good question ! I get into chats all the time about this. Thailand, Canada, South America, Australia, to name but a few. The grass is greener approach is sometimes flawed though and these countries have their problems too. I would never vote Tory or Labour and unless the two party revolving...

Be interested to know ...

I would like recommendations on a good pair of boots. They don't need to be steel toe cap boots, but that would be a welcome bonus! They should look professional, and most importantly MUST be comfortable. Boots I can wear for 9-10 hours a day without making my feel scream with pain. The only...

It should be ok. Out of interest, do you have solid external walls or is there a cavity ?

Hi mate. That's all well and good but the paperwork needs to be right in case questions get asked if the property is sold at a later date

I would think the cost of running the machine would be expensive as well. Many kW = ££ If your friend can recommend a good cement dissolver that can be used on stone (granite) I would be pleased to hear his suggestions.

Having done some research it appears that there are other companies. However, having looked at the demonstration videos I am not convinced the laser would be able to deal with badly defaced brick and stone work where ,i.e. cement render has been removed leaving a nasty cement slurry residue. I...

They don't appear to operate within the UK sadly

Bod, you can rent these thermal cameras from tool hire companies. Not all hire companies stock them but assuming you are near a major city they should be able to order one in for hire, or recommend a place that does lease them out. A decent one will set you back £200 and unless you are using it...
