My garden is around 50 x 10m I have a hoselock oscillating sprinkler from the house end which works ok but the one down the other end (as hose isn't long enough) is pretty poor. The water feed down the far end I installed is fine for filling buckets and watering cans but not so great for...

Thanks for the response, I've tried to answer your questions below: > how come you've not been occasionally cleaning the reservoir out, and changing the contents? There is nothing in the original documentation about how or needing to do this. It has been filled with salt when needed. > call...

Hi, So I found water under my skirting boards, after lots of investigation I found two leaks on my Monarch Midi water softener: - Inlet hose - Outlet black nut I think the inlet is straightforward as long as I know what washer to replace in the high pressure braided hoses but i'm not sure...

ok, great thanks. Assume wiring is standard and will be like my current fan (Brown, black, grey) from the fan isolator?

so the roof timbers are at an angle. Does this matter? Does the inline fan need to be flat? I suppose I could build a box that gives me a flat surface if need be

I was thinking I could space it off the rafters with some rubber roofing that I have. My current extractor does come on with the light but we tend to disable it with the isolation switch at night. I guess the same would be possible with this one? Wiring wise I'm hoping it's like-for-like...

following on from this, would I be better as I can get about and there is space to replace it for an inline extractor? Are these crazy loud as it will be above a bedroom

My en-suite/wetroom is ten years old and gradually over that time a small amount of mould has appeared on the ceiling due to excess condensation. I'm treating and repainting it but need to do something to prevent this in the future. My first thought it to upgrade the current Xpelair extractor...

Massive Massive apologies on the delayed response, seems I wasn't getting alerts to my email so thanks for taking the time to answer my question. Here's recent pictures of the door in question... is this beyond saving? Being the front door it's difficult to work on for long periods... I did...

I have 2-3mm gaps in wooden front door panels. Filled it a few years ago with polyfiller but they’ve come back. Expect it’s a combination of shrinkage, vibration and poor quality product (and my bad skills of course) If I try and scrape out any old stuff is P38 a viable solution for the long...

Yes my bad, I used the wrong acronym but the point still remains.

Sorry, just so I understand this right, I'm likely to have the following issues with LEDS: - Dimmer might stop working (can happen to LV also right) - Dimmer wont work the same way with each bulb so they will be different brightness - When Replacing a bulb, it's highly likely it wont match the...

I'm going to buy a few test items and see what I can make-up that's suitable, will try in the utility room first as that only has two... I have a sinking feeling the dimmers used will either need replacing or the internals upgrading which is my main fear as I know the box it very tight so little...

Yup, how can there be a saving if they are the same wattage? There can't be! Apologies It's so long since the lights went in I can't remember the rationale behind them, think it might have been the shallower depth and ease of testing and replacement with the click flameguard gear. Either way...

FWIW, the kitchen/dining/seating area has a corridor leading onto a 7 x 8m open-plan room, there are two strips of spots over the kitchen area (one over appliances, one over the island/breakfast bar), a circle over the dining table, a couple over the seating area and a couple in the corridor...

Replacing the internals was always the long term plan. Each unit has its own inline transformer which would need removing so they are mains LEDs but that's not a job for right now. I just want suitable bulbs and holders that aren't going to pack-up every few weeks. Sounds like using the correct...

I wasn't aware of this ban but changing to LEDs was on my list of jobs however with nearly 50 in the house this is massively expensive and with a young family time is limited, I was looking at a stop-gap, until I've got more time... I was under the impression converting my existing lamps is the...
