how old is your house? and are you drilling into an internal wall or external wall? if its an older house you could be hitting the lathes which the plaster hangs onto. They can sometimes feel bouncy which you hit them ( you said plastic ) if thats the case use a wood drill bit to go through them...

Thanks Guys....ive spoke to my spark today. He is part P for the record. Hes said it could only be down to the supply coming into the house if all the lights are doing this, but didnt seem to keen on having a look. Its not effecting any other circuit, just the lights. Been keeping an eye...

Hi thanks in advance for all replies. Basically I noticed the lights to my new kitchen extension starter to flicker, there on a dimmer switch. After reading up on this a little I checked the wiring on the dimmer and all seemed correct. I replaced the dimmer switch plate onto the wall and the...

The drip groove should be underneath your window sil on the outside. If you can reach out the window and feel just underneath the edge of your outside sill there should be a groove cut into the sill all the way along its length. At least then you will know you have a drip groove. Good luck.

Its very obvious that immigration laws in this country make most peoples p**s boil. I honestly think the British Nation is very very tolerant.. Which is a good thing in most respects. Its the fact that were obviously seen as a soft touch and people take advantage of that. If you express an...

your fine to go ahead. Mist coat wont harm anything. You will have to score the walls and ceiling to get a key for the coving adhesive anyway. Make sure you draw a line along the wall and ceiling where your coving will finish then score the walls with an old screw driver. Hope this helps. Cheers

Poor old sod!....hope none of my friends / family end up passing on like that. Who knows what could happen to any of us. Maybe he didnt want to be found and planned his death? Theres no post mortem results yet so perhaps he OD'ed. That was maybe his wish to pass away on his own, in a similar...

Hi there, how deep is the warped joist? If its not that bad you may even be able to take of the exisiting plaster board and trim the warped section off then add your plaster board ( you dont want to weaken the joist by trimming off too much )...or alternativley take off the plaster board and...

Thanks in advance for all replies...just want to ask if anyone can recommend a rust inhibitor suitable for a baxi combi 105HE? Also... - my central heating system has been drained down approx 4 times over the last year 3 times its been just re-filled with water. Would this cause long...

Ive used most types of coving and always prefer the 100% plaster board stuff. I find it very easy to fit and looks better up the poly stuff. You get what you pay for in the long run. If you decide to fit plasterboard stuff then by a decent mitre for the corners and external edges, or if its your...
