Short update. I called them, sent photos etc. They have accepted it isn't a great finish, so even though the fitters said that was how they leave it, they have ordered an extra section and will have it whipped, i.e. edged. So I have gone from calling them CarpetWrong to CarpgetRight :) Great...

We've had a stair runner, Wool Loop carpet installed. They Whipped the edges so it doesn't fray, however at the bottom of the stairs, where it meets the tiled floor, they have left it cut. As you can see from the photos, it isn't a neat cut and as it isn't finished it will slowly fray, small...

So, below shows how I managed to place the sockets in the sweet spot for the TV. But the bracket does slot over the sockets. After these posts, I am thinking of blanking off the two sockets on the left and switch the double on the right to be a blank and switched fused, with a 3 gang extension...

Thanks all Swapping to a dual back box and going to wire in a 3 gang, perfect. Cheers for the replies

Hi, being a bit thick, with this https://www.screwfix.com/p/mk-13a-dp-switched-fused-connection-unit-with-flex-outlet-white/13479 Where does the wire actually come out, I was thinking there would be a hole with a cap?

I'm thinking sideways might be winning out. (I actually put 2 doubles in :whistle: ), So may look to do 2 x singles sideways. All that good planning with multiple sockets, should have bought the TV bracket first:notworthy:

Hi Through poor planning etc I placed a double socket behind my Wall hung TV, which sits directly in the gap of the below bracket. When I close the bracket, if fits neatly around the gap in the arm, but then pushes on the plug cable, as it comes out of the plug. To get the TV to fit more...

We have bought a Samsung FF and the doors a thick. Because of this and the way it hinges the FF either has to sit proud of the units or you need quite a large gap at the sides. I have read (many sites) about requiring a certain amount of space at the sides, back and top for ventilation, however...

Thanks for all the replies. I ignored the advice from the shop "You won't be able to get a spare/replacement tube" Found out, who makes it, KartellUk, gave them a call and yes, they can provide, so I've asked the shop to order. Hopefully replacing should be easy. Next Question: The pipe split...

I heated up the pipe with a hairdryer to fit in the thinner male end of the copper. In the wider female end I have used something similar to the Antelco 25mm joiner, but I'm guessing it was only 20mm , so lots of tape to pad it out and the jubilee clips. It leaks If I use the Antelco joiner can...

Hi The grey flexible pipe that links the overflow to the plug had snapped (see photo) I've fixed with a fantastic bodge, I can't source a replacement pipe. Is there a way to fix the pipe better than I have done?

Hi How would you fix this? The table hasn't had a lot of love, so we need to bring it back to life. I was thinking sanding and oil. But what about that crack? How do I repair or stop spreading. Thanks

We insulated under the Timber, we didn't under the concrete. You can't go wrong with insulation, the more the merrier I say. We don't really notice any difference between the two parts once it's on. We generally turn it on like radiators at the moment, so instead of keeping it on all the time...

We're looking to get motion sensing security lights on the back of the house. Having lived in other houses were the neighbours security lights blast their back garden, your back garden and half the neighbours bedrooms, I was thinking of getting a dimmable Security light. As I don't know which...

Got a PDF attached to an email as a reply. They have completely ignore the questions and photos regarding the Sign and it's state i.e. White sticker, yellow sprayed/fading type. If the fine was more than £35 I work argue and contest, however I can't be arsed.... I'll pay it, was my fault for...

I've appealed and asked that they honour the 14d days 50% discount, if it takes longer.

Hi @rsgaz the other signs seem the same, as looking on Google Maps. Tempted to challenge.

Stupidly parked on a street by the shops that I have parked on before (on a Sunday), looked at the sign and thought I was ok. As you can see from the photo, I was OK timewise for the main white sign, the unloading. I focused on this and didn't really look at the yellow one. 1) With this faded...

An update, after reading too many articles, posts etc. We've decided again an overlay system using the eps type boards (Wunda etc) and gone of a lego board and screed overlay. To be specific Uponor Minitec boards with Speedfit 10mm piping and Mapei screed. We strengthened our timber floor with...
