I’m and am sure a lot of others too, keep seeing these online ads for these low energy plug in the wall ceramic heaters costing circa £20. I think they’re a scam or even if real, only give out a small amount of heat and are probably a fire hazard. Are all electric fan heaters the same in...

I had a detailed conversation with someone from platform lifts and they have indicatively said £19k starting for supply and installation but as others have said, I need my own builder to make the opening etc. Their range of lifts range from £19-21k. Lift size would be contained within 1.6m x...

Thanks, that's helpful. Out of interest, why do you suggest being cautious with the last line suggestion?

Hi Does anyone have any idea on what the cost of lift would be to install in e.g. a medical clinic to take a disabled person from the ground floor to the first floor in a vertical manner through the ceiling (therefore not a stair way lift)? I am referring to the one where you have to hold down...

Thanks for the reply. I've had these camera running since 2015/16 so I've had a good run so far. And yes I suppose it is a risk if they go out of business So, I'm not an IT person but just for me to understand the mechanics of how all this works, why can any third party software not connect...

Hi I bought some cheap and cheerful pan and tilt WiFi cameras off Amazon a few years ago. Several were from a company called Vestercam in which they use an app called eye4. Another brand is Florean for which I cannot find an app for. Is there a way of connecting these apps to third party...

Is this sufficient for a mini digger to keep going over?

Hi What generally speaking is the recommended thickness of a concrete base / slab prior to fitting porcelain tiles on an external patio? The underside is soil / hardcore.

Thanks for that explanation. Do you know how I can add more channels to the freesat box which are more than just the 170 or so it promotes. If it doesn't show it in the settings, does that mean it is programmed to effectively lock me out from tuning into other channels which dont form part of...

Unless I am misunderstanding this, Freesat is therefore no more than a "favourites list"? There is nothing technical about Freesat that sets it apart, to the extent that it is the manufacturer of the set top box that determines the functionality etc? Seems like someone has created limited...

So the existing sky+ HD box I have is an old ebay box I purchased some 11 years ago. As far as I understand, it does no longer requires a Sky viewing card to watch free to air channels, when I call sky they dont even have me on their database despite paying £15 or whatever it cost me back in...

Hi My old Sky+ box keeps playing up and because I only ever used it for the free to air channels, I decided to replace with with something under £30 from Amazon. Has anyone experienced here how to setup these boxes, they are confusing as hell. If I only want to receive the same channels as...

How would you support this if its going under 100mm Kingspan or in the screed? Thx.

Thanks for the reply. Yes it is for gas. I'm not sure I follow your point of ventilating the cavity around the pipe. It will be buried in the concrete or screed and next to a 75mm waste pipe. What's the purpose of a cavity if it's being concreted in under the ground? Would the same be...

Do you know what sort of tile trim is used in this photo? This one seems to have two large faces, trying to understand what it looks like uncut.

This is for a gallery landing for both first and second floor. If toughened glass is used I guess this would shatter into tiny pieces if stuck in the wrong area compared with a contained shattering / spider web effect damage if laminated? Is it personal choice then as to whether I go for 900mm...

What's the purpose of this site Nakajo?

I’m trying to get consensus opinion. I could say 900mm to 1100mm. What’s the point of this forum if not for sharing advice? Anything and everything can be google searched. That’s not the point.

What is the min / max height for a new first and second floor glass balustrade and ideally what thickness of toughened glass?

Is there a link you can suggest for an adaptable box. Is this something you create or buy of the shelf?
