Hello I am wanting to replace my push button syphon on my toilet, its knacked. I have found a fluidmaster one at b&q that looks very similar, i am unsure about one thing it says on the box it will fit any toilet with a 2" outlet??? What does it mean by outlet and how do i check my toilet has...

Softus?? What do you pay for quotes??? Like i have already stated i am looking for someone to work with me to do the electrical work, plenty of it. Just that i have to provide a quote to the letting agents before i can get a go ahead for the work. So i would expect quotes to be free...

Thanks for all your replys, this problem has now been sorted by a part P qualified sparky. I agree with the comment about it been foolish to flick the breaker back on, i am not a part p electrician but only when the skirting board was taken away the damage was uncovered. I am in the process of...

Hope someone can help. Whilst drilling through my skirting boards i have hit a cable that supplies a double socket it made a big bang and tripped the breaker. :oops: Somehow the socket still works but i need to know a good way of repairing the cable, i have seen crimp splices that fit 1.5...

Cheers will change that over. Thanks for all you time really helpful

Got it sorted today turns out the fuse was a fusewire 15amp type. I got a man in, he took a 2.5mm cable t&e from the fuse box to a 3amp switched fuse and then a 1.5 t&e to the outside light. All works fine now apart from lighting up the whole street, think i will change the bulb for a 150w...

Just moved into a new house and i want to install a new 500w outside pir light to replace the old dated light fitting. When looking at the light it seems that there is no earth. I intend to run some new 2.5 t&e from the fuse box to a 3a fused switch then to the light to replace the old two core...

Cheers, Hope to be sponge free before the end of the job, trying different techniques even tried a mortar gun (load of sh**t). So sticking with the good old trowel. Thanks for all your comments.

Thanks for the advice, I started to add the mortar today, filled the gaps and brushed off the excess mortar on the bricks. The brick face was smooth so i used a slightly damp sponge to clean the brickwork then finished the mortar with the trowel. Looks very good and not a mortar stain in sight.

Well i am gonna give it a try, anyway if it does leave a mess i am red brick painting over it anyway.

I have a house the needs a bit of pointing doing. Problem is that the mortar joints between the bricks is very small maybe only 4mm in some places making it hard to repoint and rake out. Are there any tools or mastics i could use to make this job easier or is is just a case a being very carefull...

Hi, Its a flavel windsor pebble gas fire (slimline). It says its ok for a pre-cast flue, i was just worried about the fire depth. If i bring it out to leave a 175mm gap at the back and the minimum is 120mm will i be coming out too far. After all its 50mm more than the minimum depth recommended.

Hello, I have an inset gas fire that i want fitted to a pre-cast flue system. The fire chosen has a minumum depth required of 120mm, without the fire surround back in place the depth is only 100mm but with the stone fire surround back in place it will bring the depth to 175mm. Is it ok to use...
