Hi, i am not great at DIY, i am only wanting to put some shelves up but they will be holiding a couple of books. I was wondering what the best plug / fixings would be? Nearly everything you buy only comes with plugs for brick but they never give you anything for plasterboard. Thanks James

Hi Ian, I did need to go through Bristan in the end unfortunately. Although after sending them some pictures of my tap and proof of date they did send me new cartridges. They wouldn't send just the seal on its own and as far as I know there's is made specifically for their cartridge. I did try...

Hi thanks for both replies, can you get radiators that have their own individual thermostats on? and would that tell the boiler to just send how water to that 1 radiator that’s asking for it or the whole system? At the moment the TRV's are set to full for both radiators. The boiler is set to...

Hi, we live in a house that’s 3 years old, the first winter we got the impression that the radiators in the living room didn't seem enough to heat the room properly as the rest of the house is always really warm but the living room is always pretty cold. There are 2 radiators in the living room...

Hi, I live in a fairly new build home. Last year we noticed wasps coming and going to a hole that’s in the wall outside, i think the hole is from where they probably put in the cavity wall insulation. there are a few of these holes but from what i can see all are filled in apart from one which...
