I need to extend a Tesla mobile charger. The guide line says you HAVE to plugin to a 3 pin wall socket. It specifically states you shouldn't use an extension cable. I saw an American video. One guy uses a very thick extension cable. I've looked up 'heavy duty' extension cable. What other...

I need to cut into a plastic box. I've marked where I need to cut. See this pic: I started cutting with a jigsaw drill. Not the tool for this job for many reasons! Really hard to control + dangerous! The scratches you might be able to see are attempts at me trying to score using an etcher...

Guys, thanks for the replies. I've only just been able to take pics. See below: Total drop maybe 10cm. More than happy to get hands dirty and take out the pipe and clean. But... will wait to hear what you guys say first. Not sure how I can best make drop and then rise 2/3rds - do I need...

Thanks for the replies guys. Outlet pipe?? Oh. This is something that hasn't been inspected! I can't show a meaningful pic, all in a tight space. One thing... The outlet pipe is connected to the sink. When the washing machine is running, the water over flows into the sink - but then goes...

Filter washed and cleaned. We don't use the tray to put detergents in ever. Rubber seals thoroughly cleaned. (Spent 30 minutes doing). Many times have used baking soda first on hot wash, followed by white wine vinegar - each time using 3 cups. Then used professional ready made cleaners...

I need a tall bathroom sink that will reach into the middle of the basin. They tend to be much fewer availability. I looked at Screwfix and toolstation: mega expensive. We have a current one with an attachment that allows 720 degrees swivel. But it leaks. All from China. All the same. The...

Yes. I'll get installed in due course. For the moment, I'm stuck. I need to be able to charge from ordinary socket. If I can figure out how I can pass through the entire socket through the letter box, that would make my life easier.

Sorry... I should have mentioned that. New EV charger is going to be installed. After tons of research, I know what I want. But the company has said 'DNO cut out fuse we would have to submit an application to the DNO to get approval to install the charger.'. They said at best this could take a...

I'm charging my EV by putting a slim extension through the letter box. This is a pain. I would really like to put the plug through the letter box - would save me a few minutes time. Currently I have to disconnect and reconnect + wrap the EV charger (incase of rain). Can I get a collapsible...

The downlight we had installed looks something link this: The ones in screwfix look like this: Do I need to get like for like? The original one we had installed, they seem to be less available than the newer type? Thanks.

I've got a GU10 bulb where the ceramic socket broke. Left I have 2 wires. See what I have here: This is what I found on Amazon: Pic taken from Amazon, the writing is from the actual listing Assume blue is for blue wire and brown is for black wire? Any problems using these extenders...

I've got some screws that looks almost like it will fit - but it's too fat. Where can I get from? I searched screwfix for 'kitchen cabinet hinge screws' I couldn't find I'm guessing it's just a standard screw? Thanks

Thanks for the replies guys. The door is for a small room - not cupboard. The room was meant to be a small toilet room with sink, but we never installed toilet. We've got a fridge in there and use as a storage room with shelves. The door... I was just eyeballing to be honest I'd definitely say...

I want to hang up a spice rack on a door that is hollow Is this OK to do? I thought would be OK if I used dry wall anchors The problem is that the door looks like it's less than 3cm thick. So not sure what anchor to use Thanks

Thanks for the replies. I tried using excessive force. The head of the screws were getting damaged though. I'll give it another go though.

I'm trying to fit a new light switch. I got from tool station. The screw for the wires do NOT want to move. I can screw out, but I can't screw in. Just wanted to know if I was doing something wrong? This is the new light switch: I've highlighted in red the 2 screws that won't budge. This is...

Oh... so definitely don't need a stirrer?

I need to touch up a few areas around the house with paint we had that is 5 years old. I haven't opened the paint tins yet... I've done some searching on youtube. I understand I'll need to stir the paint. I'm buying a paint stirrer from screwfix. But... it's got a nut at the top - on youtube...

Thanks for the reply I'll do just the corners as you suggest If it doesn't work, I'll come crying here. LOL.

We've got a Villeroy and Boch toilet The cistern button has been faulty for a few years 30% of the time when pressed it gets stuck I've looked up instructions on how to replace on youtube This button seems to be different to others Can someone tell me what I should be doing to take off and...
