Hi all, my out of warranty DCS355 18v multi tool keeps cutting out on me. I’ve changed blades and batteries and it’s not either of those. So even if cutting into plasterboard if I go full speed straightaway it almost always cuts out (it should not and has never done that before). So I have to...

Appreciate your input winston1 but’s that’s quite a bit of jungle maths there surely?! It wouldn’t be on 24 hours a day, more like 5-8 when needed as it’s really to take the chill out of the floor and provide some rising warmth. It would almost certainly only be on from November to March (as...

Also, what’s your thoughts on switched or non-switched? The spur will go inline with the socket it’s being spurred off. So in the hallway, low level with the potential for some nugget to turn it off and kill the heat to the floor. That said, hopefully it won’t be needed for half of the year, so...

So standard 13a then? Using 2.5mm t&e for the spur.

Hi all, I’m installing electric UFH. I shall be installing a fused spur off of an existing ring socket. My calcs for the heating mat will be 4.15a total, so was thinking of putting a 5a fuse in the spur or maybe a 10a(?) Not decided whether to go for a switched or non-switched tbh. Also, this is...

Thanks matey, Got home and the wife wants to match the colour of the grout if possible, so beigey PVC trim then. o_O Once the tiles arrive I’ll take a snippet with me around the DIY sheds.

Hi all, so, got 9.5mm tiles that are wavy (Trinity Architect from Tile Giant if anyone is interested). The guy at the shop said i'd need a 10mm square edge profile trim, but that surely only leaves me 0.5mm for adhesive if the measurement of tile and trim are exact. Would it be better to find an...

Hi all, seen similar threads from years ago, but wanted up-to-date advice i guess. I'm renovating our downstairs cloakroom and going from single taps to a monoblock. Now both hot and cold feeds do (did) give fairly equal water pressure, so do i need to fit a NRV to the hot feed? We have a combi...

Yeah, you’re right. But I don’t think anyone can escape any of the crazy price hikes in, pretty much everything.

Thanks mate, I did install some in my brothers bathroom last year. Only about 1.5sqm, but the floor was so out of level that I had to put latex self levelling down first, then the matting then a 7mm screed on top, then glue down LVT. And tbh it’s pretty good. The warmth being generated is decent...

Hi, so 6sqm (3m x 2m) of downstairs hallway, with front door as well as doors leading to: toilet, living room, kitchen, under stairs cupboard and then the opening to the stairs. We used to have a small rad but it got removed due to an underground pipe leak. Since then that hallway has been cold...

Hi all, Found quite a few threads related but wanted to get some very up-to-date advice. So got around 24sqm of decking that been stained twice now with anti-slip stuff (Cuprinol or to Ron seal, can’t remember). The wife is about to do it again (yet another diff colour) but it flakes off within...

Hi all, and thanks for the advice so far. Ok so I routed the worktops……Sort of. It’s basically a right hand deal; so rh female (routed topside up), and rh male (routed topside down) which runs into the wall, so a tight fit for sure. When I cut the male end it’s gone wonky and I’m not sure what...

The trend T7 comes with the 30mm bushing. It seems pretty well stacked. right….so I bought a “brand new” Trend KWJ700 worktop jig from flea bay, but it’s damaged… There’s a chip/tear at the edge of the 400mm rounded bit which is about 3mm deep and so that bit lifts above the surface. The seller...

Thanks for the heads up. As mentioned earlier i just bought the Trend T7 1/2" 2100w router. Seems to have decent reviews for the job i want it for.

For my part the worktops are for the office, so nothing to do other than joint them once as its a standard "L" shape. I've put the battens on the wall ready, no units for it to sit on (other than legs). Might need profiling as the plasterer made a complete b*llox of the walls and one undulates...

Yeah, but I had a guy lined up to do these worktops AND finish a bathroom re-fit for me, which he was happy to do. It’s an easy days work for an experienced kitchen/bathroom fitter. Started out promising with decent comms, then the evening before (Sunday) I texted him just to confirm at 8am...

Yep just ordered the Trend T7 from Amazon and the cutters that blup linked me to from screwfix. Everything will arrive by Thursday. f*ck unreliable fitters! I’ll do it myself.

Just bought a brand new Trend KWJ700 jig from eBay for £65….. good price that. Just need to get a 1/2” router now. Thinking of the Trend T7.

Thanks mate, that’s the very video i was watching earlier.
