Hi, I want to replace some sections of broken floor board. When we had a builder do it previously, instead of cutting the boards infront of the joists and attaching battens to the joists to support the new boards, he used a circular saw to cut through the boards on the centre line of the...

The sink has one hole. Everything's on order from Wickes, so I don't know exactly what I've got yet. Yep, I did realize that I'm going to have to get these pipes under the worktop somehow - I thought I'd route them away from the sink to avoid making the hole in worktop close to where water...

Yes, it it screws into the wall. I thought that once I'd found a male connector that fits into there, I'd just be a case of extending from the elbow with some copper pipe to a service valve - maybe needing a reducer somewhere - and then to the taps via the 'flexibles'. What extra work have you...

I don't know, Dave, do I? lol. It looked a possibility, but I didn't know what MI meant (male something?) If that will fit where a tap goes, then that's it..thanks. Will do the flex connectors and valves too. Thanks for going to the trouble to look it up! Cheers Dave

Hi, I want to replace my kitchen bib taps with a mixer unit. The bibs screw into some kind of connector in the wall that I can't see. What is the name of the connector that I need (preferably an elbow) to connect to whatever's in the wall, and thereby extend the pipe work? ...Male elbow...

Hi all, The instructions for my 240v/20 watt bathroom extractor fan say that it *has* to be connected to a double pole spur. Why is this? (It’s a very cheap model - no timer, operated by a pullcord and has no earth btw. ) And since I actually want to use it in a bedroom instead, could I...

Okay, thanks .. but just to be clear: the 'frame' is just to support the front panel, right?. The bath itself came with its own bracket/legs arrangement that's strapped to the bottom of the bath - there are little knobs that stick out from the underside of the bath that the brackets key into...

Hi all, I've just had a builder/comedian doing some work in the our bathroom. Our bath is installed against walls at the foot and head. The frame that's been made for the bath front panel to be screwed to consists of a strip of wood nailed to the floor along the length of the bath, to...
