My thoughts exactly.. Wago 221's are a no brainer for me. Ease of use, dependabilty, speed and features (e.g. maintenance free when used with wago box etc). Unless OP will see a significant saving by bulk buying the alternatives.

Thanks for the advice guys

Or does the entire carpet need to be replaced, as repair is not possible/will be noticible? Carpet is short pyle Hot iron caused damage. It's in an open area ie not under a table, bed or closet

Thanks. Def not plumbing or ground moisture. The damp imprint is in the exact place the mattress was in contact with the wall. Vent is closed and never opened as room becomes an ice box. Room has windows Will upload a pic later. Thanks Thanks

Can anyone explain this phenomenon? 1. Solid wall (external). Paint stripped in order to decorate at later date 2. Left a mattress leaning on the wall for about a week 3. After disposing of the mattress, the wall had a damp imprint (marked in blue) where the mattress was in direct contact...

Thanks. Would love to, but far too much work mate. Remove skirting, remove loads of laminate and underlay.. Some will inevitably get damaged and I don't have enough spare planks. Not to mention the time reinstating and decorating Will start off with 'Fix-A-Floor' and see how I get on. Guess...

Oh we definitely allowed for expansion. The laminate has been down for years and trouble free. However, one plank dips when stepped on. Guess we did not sufficiently level the floor in this area. Any modern solutions?

Looking to insulate a solid wall and had some queries 1. Is there a recommended insulation thickness backed up by building regs? 2. If one was to purchase the PB and PIR Insulation separately, what is the best/recommended product to use to stick them together? 3. When fixing insulated PB to...

An area of my laminate flooring is deflecting and bouncy. Besides glue injector kits such as Fix-A-Floor and Floor-Fix Pro are there any other efficient and reliable ways to fix this laminate flooring defect in 2025?

Indeed. You did call it It's on the way right now..

Thanks Is there a minimum PB insulation thickness one should aim for to prevent condensation and be able to butt furniture/wardrobes right up to the wall? OP apologies for all the questions. Not trying to hijack your thread

So even with insulated plasterboard e.g. 37.5mm or 52.5mm, to prevent condensation/mould developing, the back of the cupboard should A. Not touch the wall? B. Not get too close to the wall? e.g. 2 inches from wall C. Both the above?

Update: All sorted.. Cause - obstruction causing door jam The Specialist made some adjustments around the door. He then took a screwdriver to clear the door track. Chap took about 20 mins To get the door open, he used a service key to turn a lock at the top of the door. He then pried the...

Oi, Oi.. Cheeky :mrgreen:

Specialist is on site right now.. Oh, it's so exciting :giggle: Asked the chap if he knew what the issue was. He said that it was 'too early to tell but the door is sticking on the 3rd floor' and he will work on it. Will update when i have more info..

Update: 1. I switched off the main isolator, waited about 5 mins then switched it back on 2. The lift made some noises (similar to a PC starting up). It then made noises similar to hydraulics (sounded so cool) 3. To my surprise, the lift cab automatically went down to the ground floor and...

The cameras are mine :mrgreen: Sorry mate, not in my nature to 'leave well alone'.. If I can, I will always try to 'fix it' This is so fascinating to me. I will study the ins and outs of lifts in my spare time. Go on..

Not sure if serious or whether you're being sarcastic Doc :mrgreen: The managing company are diabolical. They take months to change communal lights.. We'll probably be waiting till Christmas for the lift and there a number of disabled people

Harry, you're cooking mate! Right before the lift broke, our security camera saw a female press the button for the lift. She was waiting for her partner so used her foot and suitcase to prevent the lift door from closing. Her partner was taking ages, so she removed her foot and went back...

The lift to our building of flats is stuck on the 3rd floor. The lift makes some mechanical noises as if the door wants to open, but then it doesn't. Can any advise on some basic things to try Someone mentioned shutting of the power, waiting a minute, then switching it back on to reset the...
