Hi all, bit of a dilemma. I installed wall tiles 2 weeks ago and noticed they are no longer in line yesterday. I am still to grout. They're porcelain tiles, I have done tiling in the past and it's been perfectly fine. I have used ceramic tiles in the past much easier to work with, porcelain...

Unfortunately I cannot get prescription safety glasses / goggles due to the strength and complexity of my prescription. I might try using a heat gun and (melting) :LOL:some over safety glasses for a tight fit

Thanks folks will look into this. Wasted 2 hours with the eye issue today, luckily had a gp appointment for something else today and he recommend lubricating the eye and massaging it.

Unfortunately due to my prescription and eye conditions my eyes aren't suitable for contacts!

Has anyone found a decent set of safety goggles / glasses / face shield for those that also wear prescription glasses? Screwfix sell some OTG Goggles but they're useless and there's still a gap for dust / dirt to get in or they squash the glasses. Face shields have the same issue. I had a...

@plugwash Many thanks. I prefer to use ideal connectors. But hate the ideal JB. The ideal connectors also fit in the small wago JB. Many thanks.

Many thanks folks. I have used wago type connectors for the wiring in the loft, there's about 6 cables. I need a large JB. Wago do a JB but do the connectors need to fit into the slots or can they be left inside the box, obviously they cannot come out as am using 5 lever connectors. Thanks again.

Hi guys, tried looking for the answer but can't seem to find it. Would it better to use 1/1.5 flex cable rather than the solid cable from the lighting circuit into the mirror? Mirrors tend to come with a manufacturers cable enclosure and the solid cable would struggle to go in there...

This is the very problem. Politicians are clueless. Here's an example the health Secretary and shadow health secretary don't have a background in health care. In fact labour has kept the same shadow health secretary from Corbyn days. Yet there is a Labour mp who is an A&E doctor and she's not...

The whole epc thing is a mess in my opinion, in conjunction with rising temperatures. Yes you can add insulation but, it's actually counterproductive because they say the country is the getting warmer, by adding insulation you're also risking the property in being hot in the summer months...

That's a really good idea. I will have to double check if that's possible as this room is a ground floor rear extension.

Hi all currently doing a bathroom job, want to put ceiling cladding but there's a roof hatch. Obviously I don't want to block access as there is the wiring up there for the extractor and lighting. Am think to clad as normal and for the hatch to install the cladding panels on the current board...

Is that 100mm from the pvc material?

Are spotlights / downlighters safe in pvc cladded bathroom / kitchen ceilings? I have seen plenty but then I have seen plenty of disasters were the pvc has melted. Currently doing a bathroom returb so in two minds. Any advice much appreciated.

Which capacitor would this be? But why in 10 years this has only started to happen now? Beggers belief!!

Hi many thanks for your reply. It's a vaillant ecotec 438 since 2009. Never had any problems with it so far. The motorised valve was also replaced around 2010. And pump was replaced 3 years ago. As well as 4 weeks ago.

Hi all my heating comes on with hot water. I replaced the 3 port (whole unit) valve 5 weeks ago anf everything worked fine. A week later my pump went and boiler was over heating. So I replaced the pump, all working fine. Today the heating comes on with water again. However no light comes on...
