yeah I expect a lot of plumbers etc are nackered enough after work but reckon there might be some that would be up for the extra work.

I'm in the process of developing an app whereby tradesmen like yourselves could click a button any time (perhaps after work at 4-5pm) which makes them 'available' for a call out. The idea is that there aren't any hefty call out fees but you can specify a call out area (say within 10miles from...

I'm looking to put two lights onto the front of my garage. Ideally I'd like them to come on at night automatically but quite dim... With a sensor that makes them both go bright if someone triggers it. I know I've seen this set up before but have no idea where to begin. Could anyone help...

Okay sorry yeah my terminology is a bit off. It's the kind of shower that is white, plastic, stuck to the wall and has a power dial and temp dial! Definitely has hot and cold feeds. I've got a good electrician which I'll either get to check it all or actually do it for me instead. Thanks...

Hi all. I'm nearly done fitting my new bathroom and just have an electric shower and some tiling to do. There was an old electric shower taken from the same location so the plumbing is already half completed for me (hot and cold feeds with flexes temporarily blanked off) and also a fused...

Would a £50 B&Q type one be sufficient? I just googled around and they suck up 300ml a day compared to the 8L the pro ones do. Any ideas?

I'm going to get a dehumidifier in there tomorrow and run it all week! The door leads into a small lean-to area with a glass roof. In the outside photo you can see the door on the right hand side of the photo.

Thanks for the ideas. Well I removed the large glass panel to access the lead and it seems good, underneath seems very dry and there are no cracks despite it being one continuous length. The lead-mate seal above the lead is my work and recent, I was very thorough so will trust it (for now). I...

Recently renovated house has had damp showing through the paint. My damp proofing contact reckons its because of a lean-to outside with old lead and recommended lead-mate/silicone to solve it. I'm pretty sceptical this was the problem but went ahead and did it anyway. The wall has been sanded...

I need to cut an oval shape out of a roofing slate, it's to help my friend out with a crafts type project. How would you go about this? I need it to end up with a natural jagged type edge so can't use an angle grinder :(

Thank for the info guys I'll get an electrician to sort it!

Anyone got the answer?

The bathroom in question is upstairs. I'm guessing these aren't protected?

Thanks for the reply. The house had an extention with a new consumer unit fitted about 6 years ago. I'm not sure whether the lights are RCD protected. How do I check?

I've got a bathroom mirror with LED lights and a 12v transformer, with a oull cord built in. i have a cable run in the wall already, mirror mounted and cable appearing in the attic just not yet wired to anything. Typically where does a mirror like this get wired to? Does it just wire in to...

Thanks for the link. I assumed it was probably crap advice and was going to check the tub before I started, now I know! Totally agree with Matt being a nightmare but unfortunate I've got to stick to a budget on this one... Would have chosen silk otherwise

Okay I've bought 80 litres of leylabd contract Matt and a guy from a proper paint shop said it was formulated to go straight on fresh plaster without the new for a most coat, is this bull? (Ended up buying from trade point, cheapest I found) I've also got a Wooster adjustable roller frame...

What equipment do the pro's use?

Thanks for the tips. To clarify I won't actually rush the job just lookin for tips for how the pros do it efficiently! How would you all go about the old glossed frames and architraves?
