I'll hammer a screwdriver through it tomorrow and see if it'll budge. All other 3 came out fine.

Well mole grips made it worse. Surely they aren't meant to be this tight?

So I bought a new flomasta radiator and all other 3 caps came out fine. The last one started turning and then just stopped. I've tried smashing a screwdriver in and turning it but the inner has just broken away. Tried with a socket over a spanner and this has just rounded it further. Any...

Hi all. Taking floorboards up in the bedroom above the kitchen I noticed these holes in the plasterboard which sits above the boiler. I presume this is purely for ventilation for the boiler? Any issues with this? Noise transmits very easily from downstairs presumably this won't be helping...

Use a Stanley knife to cut out all the old caulk and then replace with new. If you can, see if you can hammer that corner piece in level then stick another nail in it. Use some polyfiller and sand back/paint.

I've wired them up as they were and the lights work absolutely fine, can't stand it when they're twisted.

I only got a picture of this. You can see the 2 core live and ground on the RHS that's attached to the switch

It's like this. If that makes sense?

No, in the lounge.

So I've a switched live into one, then from this I've a live which goes to the other light fitting. This has no neutral on it. However there's 2 other sets of cables into this with 2 neutrals, and then 3 other sets in the original with 3 neutrals. I was surprised to see so many sets of...

Replacing the lights in my mums house and the two lights appear to have been joined together with only a earth and live cable. There are neutrals coming into both sets of lights with 3 sets of cables in 1, and 4 sets in the other. Lights are all wired up and appear to be working absolutely...

I can't be sure, so i got some direct to metal paint mixed up at b and q. This should hopefully be suitable! Thanks for your help

It won't have any clothing on it but it'll be run at max as its the main lounge radiator.

I've a radiator to fit that I'm wanting to match the colour on the walls. I've been unable to find radiator paint that can be mixed to a certain colour, so was wondering if I can just use emulsion? I'll be using zinsser 123 as a primer and have read mixed things on emulsions peeling.

Can I run strips of plasterboard then stick to that? Seems a waste of a full panel and I've plenty of scrap lengths.

Hi all, I've had to replace a segment of plasterboard and it had some very thick dot and dab against the brick wall. I was planning on using some plasterboard adhesive foam but don't think it'll bring the board level with the other walls. Would I be better battening, then screwing the boards...

Actually. I'm not 100%. I'd forgotten but I did change this switch, as it was 3 switches but 1 previously controlled a light which no longer existed. I put the wires in the same position as I removed them in the new 2 gang switch and replicated the issue. I'll take an upto date photo...

100%. It seems to get a feed from the porch light switch directly behind. Yeah I will, always take plenty of photos before I touch anything.

This is one of the switches. This controls lounge and landing, right side is landing. No pictures of other switch just yet.

This is correct.
