I have a pair of Bluetooth headphones that have cracked at the top of the headband. This means they don't put enough pressure on the side of the heads so they slip off. And, if I continue to use it anyway, then it's probably going to break completely. Other than the crack, the headphones work...

Awesome thanks, I've purchased both the kitchen and bathroom variants for the respective areas.

Would you use the Easy Care kitchen variant for the kitchen too? I'm guessing the bathroom variant has some anti-mould type property. Maybe the kitchen has this too?

Anyone know if Dulux Trade Diamond Matt is suitable for bathroom ceilings? Or should I be getting the Dulux paint that is specific to bathrooms?

Yeah, I'm definitely not expecting it to level out completely. Just wanting to reduce it the most I can by picking the best underlay for it. Any particular brand or are you able to link to a specific product on a website? What about this on Screwfix...

A renovation company I've already selected will be laying laminate flooring for my first floor. It's an old uneven wooden subfloor due to the shape of the wood rather than any dirt or debris. As much as I'd like to sort out the unevenness, the renovation company is won't be sorting this out...

I just had a look and the Karndean glue down tiles are cheaper but when you factor in the cost of the adhesive and underlay then they work out more expensive. With regards to the underlay, does the adhesive go on top of the underlay? Another thing to ask, if you have a flooring trades person...

I'm looking to get Karndean vinyl flooring for a couple of small rooms (total of around 12 sq m) and the particular range I'm looking at (Karndea Palio) comes in a Clic variety or a Rigid Core. As I understand, the Clic is thinner and requires a specific underlay where as the Rigid Core has a...

My house is being extended and renovated and will be going through the usual building regulation control checks. I know that all internal doors (except bathroom and toilets) need to have an FD30 rated doors. However, what about the door handles, hinges, locks and latches? A lot of these I see on...

I think Dulux Trade Diamond is the one I'm going with. Sadly, I don't have the luxury of waiting until an offer, so unless it goes on offer in the next few days, I'll have to get it at the normal price (although will take a look at the trade discount thing).

I've decided on getting the whole house painted in a matt brilliant white (boring I know but still). Well, whole house except the bathrooms. The renovation company will be doing the painting but I will be providing them the top coat paint. After doing some research, the two paints that seem to...

Oh right...I see what people mean now. I didn't quite understand before but the penny has dropped with what you wrote. Yes, I can see this being an issue. However, being LED lights which last almost forever, I don't expect to change the bulbs. If/when I do, if I make sure 100% sure it's switched...

LED bulbs. They are actually Philips Hue smart LED bulbs which are pretty expensive hence trying to find a solution for them. If they were normal LED bulbs then I wouldn't have an issue replacing them but it's a hard pill to swallow for replacing the Hue bulbs.

I was pretty sold on getting luxury vinyl click flooring in my office where I will have a couple of workstation chairs that have casters. Does the click locking system hold up well to these kind of chairs that will be rolling around on them? If there is an issue then this last minute thought...

Thanks for replying. My understanding is that the laminates that are water tolerant have a water proof seal. If water does get past the seal then it will cause damage to the wooden core. However, with vinyl it is just plastic so even if water does leak, then it does not do the damage like with...

I want to fit vinyl flooring in two rooms that are on the ground floor. Both will have a wet underfloor heating system. Both are around 5 to 6 sq m (so not very big). One of the rooms is a utility which will have a boiler, water storage tank, sink, washing machine, tumble dryer and a few other...

That could be interpreted in both ways depending on whether you're talking about holder to bulb or bulb to holder. Just to be clear, the holder is E27 and the bulb is B22. The adaptor I need will allow me to fit my B22 bulb into an E27 light fitting.

I have some smart bulbs have a bayonet B22 connection. However, a lot of newer light fittings have the Edison E27 connectors. I'm not keen on replacing my bulbs so I thought using these adaptors might be a good solution. My question is, how safe are these adaptors? Are there any particular...

That's not a bad shout, I could use a stacking kit for the dryer on the washing machine. But for the server rack, I could build a shelf that goes directly from the floor to the top of the dryer for the server rack. Server rack could still be wall mounted but the shelf would take the bulk of the...

But there won't be any servers in the rack. Most of the devices won't even have any moving parts e.g. patch panels, network switches, Virgin Media hub. I think the only thing with moving parts is the hard drive in a single drive NAS (network attached storage). Most of these devices are quite a...
