You could try a monbloc tap fixing kit from ebay?

If you just want to block the holes, you could fit plastic cover caps, which just push in. Hafele make light and dark brown caps.

Possibly a T2537B-1/2 Torus chamfer cutter from Wealdentool.com?

Are you using a good quality masonry drill bit in a hammer drill, with the hammer engaged? If you do not have the hammer engaged, it will be easy to burn the tip of the drill.

Just a couple of thoughts: Have you located the main alarm panel (where all the wiring comes together). It is probably a Honeywell/ADE Accenta/Optima and there should be the receiver for the Micromark transmitter shown in your picture. The wiring between the receiver and alarm base unit will...

The nail puller is very efficient for pulling out floorboard nails, but leaves indents next to the hole. The jaw tips are hammered in either side of the nail head deep enough to grip the head, then the nail levered out. It only takes a couple of thumps of the slide hammer. Use something like a...

Have you tried feeding something like a broom shank down along the line of the rafter, to check the relative dimensions to the fascia and the brick line? I would expect there to be a reasonable difference, something like a foot. If that difference exists, it will be the gap that you can use to...

They look like brick slips to me, like these

Here is a starter: a pair of euro connectors (6A "kettle" connectors to you), only £2.29 each from Maplin. What size cables?

Just a thought - Have you been looking for a box with a keypad on it? The main unit may be just a plain box, with a power indicator. You appear to have tripped the alarm and it is now waiting to be given the user code and reset. It should stay in that condition, with the strobe activated...

I suggest that you listen to Foxhole. I have the Makita and have used similar spec Bosch machines and they can not be relied on to give an accurate cut in 40mm worktops. If you insist on trying it, I suggest that you try to cut a small opening, with your new jigsaw, in the middle of the area...

Have you checked that it is not a steel lintel, like a Catnic? If it is, SDS will not touch it.

Have you checked how the wall cupboard is fixed to the wall? There is probably an adjustable bracket fixed to the inside face of the side panel. If that is the case, it will require a significant modification of the cabinet to change the mounting to allow it to go against the corner. As an...

Is this the sort of thing?

Laminated MR chipboard bullnose window boards are available from Eurocell - think in terms of a thin version of kitchen worktops. They also sell plastic trims to cover the cut ends. I would not use plastic/uPVC as it will scratch easily.

The use of more than two wires is to reduce the measurement error due to the connecting leads. Four-wire connections tend to be used for the most accurate sensors, where two wires carry the precision sensing current and two wires connect the sensed voltage back to the meter, normally a...

multiPanel is laminated 11mm WBP plywood and is used in place of tiled walls. Does the ceiling slope up away from the corner? It is always advisable to have accessible isolating valves on your plumbing, because you know they will be needed in the future.

Hi, Can I suggest a couple of things you could check out? If you use a shower tray with tiling upstands, in conjunction with Multipanel boards, which overlap the upstands, it prevents leakage problems. As well as the boards, Multipanel can supply the corner and end trims to give a neat...

Would a couple of these or one of these help? You could use a touch of light adhesive to hold the screw in place until it bites into the wall plug.

I would suggest a combination of shower wall panel, shower base fitted with tiling upstands and a good quality silicon sealant. The base should be set into the wall to align the face of the upstand flush with the plaster face, then the wall panel is stuck to the wall with the bottom of the...
