    Replacing a LED light

    I’ve got a bunch of these in my house. I opted for these around 10 years ago but I suspect that there are better and more cost effective options now. Do I have to replace this with the same make or can I use a different led? Will the trim work with another light and will the light emitted from...

    Loose screws

    The image I posted has a bolt on one side. That is fine. It has screws on the other side and they are the issue. They keep coming loose.

    Loose screws

    The hex bolt is solid. It’s the screws that keep coming loose. How can I determine if my screws are 3mm and that size dowel would be adequate?

    Loose screws

    My child’s bed has these fittings and the screws come loose every few months. I’ve tried slightly bigger screws and packing the hole with bits of wood. Can you please advise how I can solve this. Thanks in advance.

    Air vent for in-line fan

    I can only access the area above this from the hole in the bathroom. It's inaccessible from the top. I think I will stick a few batons by passing them through the hole in the bathroom and aim to align the screw holes with the positioning of these. I am hoping that I can use the Stick Like Sh*t...

    Air vent for in-line fan

    Let's get the painitg out of the way first. It wasn't my finest hour but I need to clean some of those tiles. Obviously! I recently replaced my old in-line bath fan and grill (grill removed in this picture). The plasterboard was damaged and I filled and painted that in the process. As you can...

    Wet adhesive

    Thanks @opps. I used the above and it was solid by the time I came to drill. Will never bother with that ever-wet stuff!

    This join has started leaking again

    Do these fit all pipes? It would be worth having some of these in the shed if that's the case

    Downlights wired into terminal blocks

    Understood. But if they are all sitting above the ceiling, they wont be pulled and hence, not an immediate danger?

    Downlights wired into terminal blocks

    I was replacing a downlight at a mates house last weekend and when I popped out the unit, I noticed that the downlight was wired in white flex but this went into a terminal block and the incoming and outcoming T&E also went into this. I should have taken a pic but something like this: They...

    This join has started leaking again

    UPDATE - Replaced the Tee with another JG one and guess what…the plastic pipe had no inserts! It wasn’t the leaking side of the pipe though. I couldn’t see a manufacturers name on the pipe and assumed it would be JG. I brought the JG inserts and the first bit went through but I struggled to push...

    Grips

    I’ve seen an auto-adjusting Rothenberger one too. Are they any good?

    This join has started leaking again

    I plan to take a Hep20 fitting with me and I'm trying to preempt the inserts I need for the plastic pipe. I already have some Hep20 inserts. If it's a white pipe, are there many other options in terms of inserts? I could take the different ones with me and get the fix done rather than a...

    This join has started leaking again

    Can I use a hep20 insert in the current plastic pipe? It may not be a hep20 pipe.

    This join has started leaking again

    Can I replace this with a Hep20 fitting? I know it's fine for the copper pipes but didn't know if it will work with the current plastic pipe.

    This join has started leaking again

    It initially leaked around a year ago. I tightened it and it stopped leaking. It's now started again. Is it a faulty fitting or ought to be replaced with something else? Thanks in advance.

    Grips

    Is that this one? I don't mind paying a bit more for something that will last and do a good job.
