Hi, I have a wooden garden bench, it's left in the garden all year round. It's looking pretty sorry for itself but it's still solid. What kind of paint is it best to paint it? I have water based fence paint and oil based fence paint, but don't mind buying something else. Thanks

Great, that was my next question! So I take it, it's OK? What wires do I use? Is it ok to put the junction box under insulation or should I leave it on top?

Hi, I want to move a light fitting, I've done this before with no problem. This time how ever, the wires are not long enough to put the light fitting where I want it. Is it OK to add about 2ft of wiring with chocolate blocks or do I have to replace the whole wire with a longer piece? If I...

Hi, I've been looking at bathroom lighting, I'm aware of the different zones. On the picture of the bathroom with the zones marked on, it states IPX4 above the bath. When I google bathroom lights, it comes back with IP65? Is IP65 the same as IPX4? Thanks

No, I'm going to do the easy part myself, rip the current one out. My plan is to get the room ready so someone can come in and fit the bathroom suite and do the tiling.

I've had a look on google for local independent shops. I work Monday - Friday and most Saturday mornings. By time I Finnish work, they are shut. I would prefer local independent shops though.

Hi, We are in the market for a new bathroom. In our current bathroom, the fan is on the same wall as the shower (electric shower). They are quite close, is there and measurement that the should be apart, should they even be on the same wall? As we are doing the bathroom soon, it would be the...

Hi, We are in the market for a new bathroom. We have looked in the likes of better bathrooms, Victoria plum, B&Q, Wicks, Homebase and The Bath store. Firstly there is a massive difference in price, for example better bathrooms offer a P shaped bath, bath panel and shower screen for about...

Is there any easy way to increase the pressure?

Thanks for all the replies. When we moved into the house an electric shower was already fitted. We have had a combi boiler installed while we have lived here and the hot water pressure isn't the best which is why we are not going down the mixer tap route. What other realistic options do I...

Thanks for the replies, I don't know what electrician I'm using yet, it'll just be some one local out the paper. I'll get in touch with someone and get some professional advice.

Hi, I will be ripping my bathroom out soon. I want to upgrade my shower cable from 6mm to 10mm. I have a few questions, I would be great full if someone could take the time to answer my questions or possibly advise me if I'm wrong. 1) I plan on putting my new cable in place then asking an...

Thanks for the advice guys and sorry for the slow reply. I connected loads of straws together and blow a few mouth fills of hot water down the hole, it done the trick.

Hi, I have a Beko Fridgefreezer model number CXF5104W. Recently I have noticed water in defrost water collection channel, the water isn't draining down the hole, it's just spelling over into the crisper. I've poked the drain hole with the plastic poker provided. I've had a look in the back...
