First time I have ever used metal platerboard rawlplugs and from what I gather it should be fairly straight forward. However the plug themselves do not seem to be threaded internally meaning the screws won't go in. Is that a manufacturing error or am I just doing it wrong? 20180317_130623 by...

I've tried the bulbs in the other holders but they do the same. The energy savers work regardless of where they go. Don't have any other E14 light fittings to check them with. I do have a similar light fitting in another room which has three BC fitting LED bulbs and they have been fine for...

The centre of the fitting has about 30cm long arms which extend out to the bulb fitting. Where the bulb screws in is covered by frosted glass although it is not totally encased and the bulb itself has about 5-7cm space around it's circumference. The energy saving bulbs are hot but I would...

Originally had energizer bulbs I think. The current ones are Luceco bulbs from Maplin which had good reviews.

I have a five bulb light fitting in my living room. I previously had 5 energy saving style bulbs in it of which 3 died. I then replaced these over time with 3 LED bulbs which stopped working after about 6 months. I then put in another 3 LED bulbs and again they are now still working but the...

It I'd block paving there is a tiny bit of movement on a couple near the edge but 99% is good

Had a look at jointing compounds. Sounds like a better if costly solution for the whole patio rather than just the edge. Only concern is most have a minimum joint width. In places mine is a little bit tight as it doesn't appear to have been laid 100% uniform. Any idea what the consequence of...

Looking for advice before I do something silly. I'm having a torid time with the gap between my monoblock and lawn edge. It keeps getting overgrown. There is a stone divider (about 30cm deep) between the lawn and the monoblock and it's what to do about the bit in between. I've cleared it out...

Thanks, thought that would be the case, just didn't want to jump to conclusions.

Hi Everyone, I have a Triton Luca mixer shower that I've had for about 5 years. About 2 months ago a small drip started coming from the shower head which has gotten progressively worse. If I turn the flow up or down slightly (using the dial on the left of the above picture) it can reduce...

I think a couple of years.

I have a Vokera compact 28 SE combi boiler which is about 4 or 5 years old. The issue is whenever it turns on it makes quite a loud noise. A bang is maybe a bit of a strong word but it's like something hitting the metal casing of the boiler and causing a thud. It didn't do it when it first...
