Hello all, At present we have a virgin media V box (samsung), connected to our 13ish year old panasonic tv, by a skart lead,...If we were to have a wall mounted TV, obviously this skart lead wont reach, do I use normal co-ax cable between...RF out and the TV? Thanks.

Good evening all, in the 1950's bungalow where I live, all the walls are common brick, and floors are concrete, the plaster seems to be a sand/cement base with a green skim, what should I use on bricks where I need to do some plastering, if I intend to wallpaper and...

Thanks for your help everyone,..ok I will go for LED, 10w will do, and a stand alone pir, now which one? cheers.

I think I need to explain a bit more detail,... at the front and rear of the house there are lights, each controlled by their own individual photocell, and each wired up through individual fcu's, no problem. I am retired now and spend some of the winter months away, this light is all about when...

Good Morning all, I am looking to buy a outside security light and there is a lot of choice out there, I dont want to buy any old rubbish from the sheds etc, and also should I go for a seperate sensor? I have this one in mind from Screwfix...which gets a lot of good...

Good Evening all, Could anyone please tell me when black alkathene started being used on incoming water mains?, and approximetely when did it all change to blue metric mdpe? I live in a 1950's bungalow that has a 21.5 o/d black alkathene,and the i/d is only 11/12mm, I...

Good evening all, I want to have a complete re-tile on my 50's property. It isnt leaking at all, but at over 60 years they have seen better days for sure. Could any of our knowledgeable roofers just give me a rough idea what I'm likely to pay please. It is a...

Your right James, it is the last connection before the boiler, I think a N.R. valve or gate valve or ball valve is the only solution. cheers.

Evening all, I was reading with great interest a thread in which Agile (tony) reccomended a gate valve on the DHW return, ... "If you close the cylinder coil gate valve and then open two and a half turns it will probably give you better heating without having any...

Cheers John,... so each end timber does not have a timber supported bar for the poly to go into like the others,..the poly rests directly on the timber and the L shaped trim clamps in place. Thanks.

Good morning all, Thanks for the photos BAS, but I do prefer a post supported carport, a cantelever like in the pics, would be close to the top of the brickwork, and on a bungalow, with no gable end, I would imagine it to be a outward strain on the top courses. John...

Sorry to keep asking, but can anyone please explain this set up at the ends of the poly sheet,...I can fit the normal bar no problem, but how does a "little end sectionlook like an end bar? Thanks.

Hi mw roofline, I know it's been 12 months, but I have been delayed in doing this job for different reasons, but now I'm ready to crack on with it. I would just like to go over the end sections again if you would,...you say dont use F sections, use a little end section in a normal bar so it...

What do you mean by water test the exterior before re-plastering? Also, just out of interest, why should I not use bonding or browning? Cheers.

Good afternoon all, I live in a 50's bungalow, solid concrete floors, with a 11" cavity wall, outside leaf is stock brick, inner leaf is commons. I have problems with damp under one particular window, which I think Iv'e sorted. I now need to re-plaster the commons...

Jimbo, air brick was for a gas fire, a cavity wall with solid floors does not need air bricks, they make the inner leaf cold resulting in condensation,..Woody said so.

Good evening everybody, I live in a 1950's bungalow with solid concrete floors and 11" cavity walls. I think I have cured the damp wall by lowering the ground level out side to 2 brick below dpc level, and more importantly replacing a single air brick which...
