I need to replace some of the bottom rollers on my sliding mirror doors. Using google lens I can see a couple of products that look like mine. The closest visually is a Britannia bottom roller but I’ve also seen a Stanley product that looks like it should fit. Are these parts interchangeable...

I’ve checked all the ground floor sockets from both rings. One lot of sockets is working ok now and everything else on the ground floor is unplugged, sockets switched off. There is an outside socket which had an extension lead, I have removed it and it’s now being used on the good ring to power...

Apologies if this has been asked before. My house has two ground floor rings, today the RCD tripped and would not turn back on. I have identified which ring is causing the problem and turned its MCB off. The RCD now turns back on. I have now unplugged everything on that circuit (mostly...

I’ve been running a grundfoss neg head whole house pump for a number of years with no problem until recently. When a tap or shower is turned off the pump continues to run. I thought I would try and diagnose without removing the pump. Firstly I shut off both outlets to eliminate leaks in the...

My son has a G/F 1 bed flat in a 1930’s conversion. He has a stud wall that separates the front door from the kitchen creating a small entrance lobby. On one side is a door leading to a bathroom extension. This makes the kitchen quite small and he would like to remove all or part of the stud...

Found it! Allen key fixing accessible through the seat fixing holes…

So would you say access would be through the seat holes?

I’ve taken some photos, hopefully it will shed some light on how to remove the bowl?…

Abacus Easy-Plan wall hung cistern is leaking and has been for some time. All boxed in with plywood, tiles were all cracked so now removed. Plywood box and flooring wet and covered in mildew. I can’t see how to remove the toilet bowl, it is very loose but can’t see how to remove it, no holes...

Ignore that, I was measuring wrong, it’s 150mm‍♂️

I need to replace a thermostatic bar shower valve with inlets at 160mm centers. Online I can only find them with 150mm centers. Does anyone still make them?

I just bought a wall mounted patio heater on Amazon advertised as 800w. When it arrived I found it had no rating plate on it. The instruction booklet said 110/230v 800/1500w so I read that as 800@110 and 1500@240. I decided to return the item and although I have been offered a no quibble...

Can I have IPA rated?!

Hi All I have a room attached to my single garage around 9’ x 9’ that I would like to use as a garden room/bar. It is single skin concrete block with a decent felt roof. The inside of the walls gets quite wet when there is a lot of rain so I would like to make it damp proof and insulated...

Thanks for all the tips guys, it looks like adhesive lined heat shrink is the way to go. Unless I feed it in to the shed with a IP rated junction box at the end of the run and fit a light in my shed. Its only a small tool shed so only very occasional use and I can live with having to have the...

I’ve bought some ip57 outdoor mains voltage festoon lights. They are made with two core flex with a plug on one end and a connector on the other end to join another set if required, this has a screw on lid to make it water proof. I would like to cut the run in half and use two separate runs...

It’s like there’s a poltergeist slowly turning the temperature control towards hot until it gets too hot. The flow control seams fine. The install is negative head fed by a 4 bar whole house pump and flow is good. TIA.

I've been having a look at this 6mm armoured cable and I dont think it will be suitable as there is no way it will bend round the outside corner of my house, its just too thick. In fact there are a few bends it will have to go around. So I am thinking what is a better alternative? Going by...

Yes:RCD! 13amps is plenty. I would like power in the shed which would have an inside light and an outside light on a 3 gang light switch, possibly with a 2 way outdoor switch on the outside of the shed. I would also use this switch for pond lighting which would be low voltage led strip...
