I currently have a Window Vac that won't charge. After stripping it down I've found that water ingress has damaged a component that must use the in board charging. I've seen some YouTube videos that people have used 5vdc usb charging boards to charge the battery. The aim is to still use the...

The DPC is there above the 2nd brick but the current drive/concrete affair the previous owner had conjured up raised it a brick higher at the front door. This was picked up on the survey and I've asked if aco or similar drains can be put along the front of the house as its lower than the top of...

Thanks for taking the time to post up. The downstairs toilet is really small with a small sink, so it has a small pedestal trap fitted, I'm assuming I would have to keep the outside trap. I'd be fine with keeping it however I find due to the grille being exposed that I need to get my hand down...

I'd appreciate some advise from someone that knows far more with modern ways of doing this. I will be getting my driveway block paved in a few weeks time and would like to renew the existing plastic waste pipe from the downstairs toilet sink that currently is as the photo. It's been painted so...

Has anyone had any experience with the dye fading or "aging" in time where it was a good match and now its not? I have a few bits here and there that could do with patching up, but my builder told me if he repointed them it would look like a patchwork quilt! I've bought some snowcrete and...

I say industrial loosely. We may do install work 3-4 times a year so rather than spending hundreds on a trade jigsaw, for occasional use I'd have thought that it may have been alright for that small use. As you say, if you use them day in day out I'd have had no hesitation in buying trade power...

The reason why there was a metal cutting blade fitted is when I boarded my loft out, I fitted the loftzone kit ontop of the rafters to raise the height up 200mm. The kit comes with steel channels to connect the plastic legs too. As I mentioned above, I also bought for industrial trucking and...

We have lived in our house for a few years and inherited the problems that it has, as most do. Old baxi solo boiler, HW tank and mid position valve. We can have the HW on without the CH and both on a the same time but not the CH on without the HW (Not without turning the HW stat down) I've...

Thanks for your input. If I'm honest with you, I completely missed that the new brushless version is on pre order only! I'm not set on dewalt but it makes more sense for me to try and keep the same batteries. I currently have a lidl multi tool and impact driver which so far has been OK for DIY...

After the Lidl cordless Jigsaw fail I experienced where the base plate bent (which I've used others that hasnt seemed to have) I admitted defeat and want to go for the Dewalt. Will be used for working on site cutting trunking, tray and panel work mostly with the majority of it used for DIY use...

I know it might seem silly replying to threads that are self explanation, I've always been of the "I'd rather ask" kinda person. Thanks.☺ Unfortunately, no. The wall its sat on has cavity wall insulation but there really is just a 20mm thick piece between the inside and outside the underside of...

We are in the process of buying new uPVC windows that are of a better quality and are all the same style that's in now. Unfortunately whoever put ours in last had cowboys doing it and has made a right mess with the bay window. So much so it has sagged within 5 years) I believe the window...

I'm in the process of boarding out the loft and I've been up and filled in all the gaps in the insulation with new stuff and topped up where its been squashed down. My question is, has any one ever seen what I can only describe as a heavy hessian type blanket over the rafters? It only seems to...

The base is done and dusted last year. I was going to order the shed late last year but aired against it due to the possibility of sealing moisture into the wood when painting/treating the wood and not drying out properly. At 10 x 8, It's main use will be a garden shed but im also planning to...

None taken. Possibility but I have been using my dads old mains Bosch for godknows how long and that's not bent. The base on the old Bosch is nearly twice as thick. The other possible cause was because the cross member was basically tin, it kept snagging on the last bit if the cut. This could...

9 months I've waited.... 9 months after first seeing them sold when I bought my multi-tool from there I went back a day later and they had all sold. So after learning they where back, Thursday 7.55am I was stood waiting for the store to open. YES I've got one! Anyway, I've been boarding the...

I agree the wickes did look more favourable and normally I'd go that route. My only reasoning for B&Q is my parents have the 10% diamond card and some vouchers with further money off. So my 18-20 packs (so I've estimated) soon mount up to around a 20 pound saving. I've had a quick look in a B&Q...

Reviews on wickes and B&Q are normally straight forward but I've noticed that there is currently 2 different product numbers on B&Q's website for the same item. Same price but they have started again with there reviews. It might just be coincides but the newer product numbers (which are in...

Exactly what I thought too, but at over inflated prices without a warranty (as you won't have a till receipt) its risky.
