Yeh there is, Ill give that a go cheers

Hi I have a room which currently has 6 x down lighters with GU 5.3 halogen bulbs. I would like to change them to GU10 LED lights, as LED bulbs dont work in these fittings (they flicker). Can anyone please recommend what I would need to do this?

Yeh like I say Im just after the easiest option, & the blue circle bags of ready mixed mortar seem to be what Im after. Like I say, its just a small wall to create a sheltered area where I will then build a barbecue within. Nothing fancy or complex, just a diy job

I have just replaced my float valve in the loft tank. It was an old part one which was leaking and coming out the overflow, so I replaced it with a new part 2 valve. Ive noticed its a bit noisier than the old one, particularly just as its starting to close off, its a bit high pitched. Is this...

Okay so what exactly would I need for a U shape wall approx 1.5m length back wall by 1.5m high and sides would be about 1m long by 1.5m high? How many 20kg bags of ready mixed mortar?

No theyre not for the actual barbecue, just for the surrounding area. The barbecue will be built inside it

Yeh sorry didnt even notice that comment. Thats what I got. As for the blocks, am I best with 100mm or 140mm thickness? Its only for a small u shaped wall roughly 1.5m high

Yes, Im after something just for building the wall with, preferably ready mixed and just need to add water

Okay thanks. Can you recommend a decent simple cement? I dont need much so dont want to be having to order ton bags of sand

Hi I am going to be building a small u shaped wall in my garden as a barbecue area. It will be approx 1.5m (ish) high, just out of breeze blocks, then painted. Im trying to find a quick cement that I can just mix with water but all the ones Ive looked at need mixing with sand. All I can find is...

Okay so 1/2” female x 3/4” male compression or BSP

I already have the new one, ready to fit, just need to know what fitting I need to get from 1/2” male on the valve, to 3/4” (I think) female from the mains

Yeh thats what I have, a part 2 but its 1/2”. Will it be 3/4” fitting I need for the supply end?

I have just purchased a replacement float valve for my loft water tank. Its 1/2”. The fitting on the pipework going into the tank is bigger than that. Does anyone know what size it could be? Im think maybe 3/4” or 22mm?

Hi Just went to change my ballcock in the loft as its an older part 1 which is leaking and coming out the overflow during the night. The one I bought is 1/2” but when I disconnected the main pipework, its bigger. What size is this, would it be 3/4”? Ill just need to get a cross over back down to...

Here is a picture of the top. That little cut out looks like the glass has slipped within the frame. The bottom corner one is right inside the frame.

Sorry, what I meant was is it a basic rubber o-ring, rather than a shaped seal? So, could I just get a pack of various sized orings?

Yeh I just mean because we’re in this pathetic lockdown, I can only do repairs then get out. Kitchens only a year old, so should be clean, and am hoping its just a seal. Can anyone recommend where to get them, or would it just be a standard rubber oring?

Hi My mums kitchen mixer tap is leaking. Its at the bottom of the neck where it goes in to the main body. Am I right in thinking the neck will pull out from the main body and there will be an oring round the neck? If so, what will I need to repair it so I can just run in the back door, repair it...

I think youre right. Every single piece of the frame, wall & bath is square. But looking at the top of the glass where it goes into the frame, theres a gap. How the heck can that be fixed. I noticed theres screws on the top cap above it, maybe that will give me a clue if I remove that
