Correct. It's just a push fit with an o-ring. To be fair the existing o-ring looks to be in good shape and there's no debris in or around the seat. Will give everything a clean and replace the o-ring anyway and hopefully we should be good to go Cheers

Electric shower, triton kiko. Noticed it leaking from the bottom while in use. removed the cover to reveal the leak coming from the joint arrowed: Ive not stripped it down but i looks like the joint between the contrasting black and white plastic is bonded in such a way that makes it non...

It's the fitting. I.e the complete unit has dimmable control gear. ( Dimmable led Driver) The actual leds in the unit are the non replaceable type

I just replaced one of my light fittings with an LED fitting. On operating the new light with the existing dimmer switch there is lots of flickering and buzzing when switching on and when dimming the lights. (The light unit is dimmable). After a while the flickering settles down but the buzzing...

I've done all your suggested checks and everything works fine. I suppose it's just a case of some internal component failure like you suggested with cheap sockets. The thing is this one wasn't cheap. It's one of those fancy black nickel flat plate types...not a bog standard plastic one. You'd...

What would potentially cause only one side of a double socket to stop working? I've got a double socket that when installed was working as normal. Over time a socket on one side has stopped working. I would have thought that if the wiring was loose, the entire unit would not work or the...

Need to get one of these kits to do a wiring job where I've got limited access to a floor space. When buying one of these kits is it better to go for a kit with longer rod lengths or shorter ones? Just thinking of the trade off between using multiple shorter rods screwed together with more...

Great thanks for confirming. Cheers. Cheers yes I was thinking of doing something along those lines. Just wanted to understand if I'd need to make any other wiring changes first.

My current setup is as follows: Two lights in the hallway (let's call them Light 1 and Light 2). Controlled by two-way switching from two switches (one at each end of the hallway). I want to remove the existing lights and replace with 6 LED downlights, ( the type that get linked together one...

I don't know the make and model and it has no identifying markings. I've got the cartridge out which came with the handle which it is firmly seized to. It's looking like a complete replacement but I'm not in a position to be re tiling the entire wall so going to have to try to limit the damage...

Ive got a 3 handle concealed bath/shower mixer that is leaking from the top handle as shown Im trying to access the valve behind the handle with the leak but having trouble removing the handles..... I managed to unscrew the peg type leaver and the hidden grub screw but the handles seem to...

Actually on second thoughts does anyone know if it's possible to get something similar to this but with a female coupler on both sides so I can just extend the cat cable using a module face plate?

I've got BT openreach fibre box that I'd like to change the location of. Initial idea was to just run a cat5e extension cable from the existing location of the ont to the new one which id then connect to the router etc. After a bit more research I've come across these fibre extension and...

Cheers for the info. I wasn't aware of point 1 as I've always had isolation valves before each tap tail or Flexi in the past. Will stick some full bore valves in when I swap out the taps

I'm need to replace an old kitchen sink tap that's leaking at the base... (Could repair but the chrome has seen better days) The tap has solid copper tails and no isolator valves so I need to isolate the hot and cold before removing and replacing the taps. There's two stop cocks under sink...
