    Concealed door stops?

    I know you can get concealed door closers, which you fit in the shut along with the hinges, however does anyone know of a door stop that works in the same way? I need to prevent and internal door from opening too far, so that it hits a toilet. I cant put a door stop down on the floor...

    Bathroom Pump pressure issues

    Thanks. Stuart Turner was impossible to actually get hold of to discuss, so all came from Salamander. Regarding the 2 single pumps, this might be the easiest way to resolve, as bathroom is fully tiled, so the only accessible pipework are the feeds in the loft and airing cupboard. Regarding the...

    Bathroom Pump pressure issues

    Hey All, After a bit of advice with our bathroom. The plumbing has been done like below for certain reasons. I've tried to keep the diagram accurate, so where the pipes are going up and down, then it resembles the pipes going vertically to a similarish height to real life. We initially had a...

    Wago in wall connection

    We're not the ones he's contracted with. Will raise it with the builders. Would it be feasible that it could cause the power trip but the moisture in the filler/plaster getting into the testing slot of the Wagos? I mean, that's the obvious hack, as would wrapping them in electrical tape also...

    Wago in wall connection

    Interpretation, but would a wago not be number 1? The join us within a suitable accessory, but that accessory is not within a suitable enclosure itself?

    Wago in wall connection

    Pretty much what I thought. There's a few fused spurs, so looks like the ring main has been extended with the wago connector in the wall. What would be the actual solution? Connection in the back box, crimp plastered in wall or another backbox and blank faceplate to house the connection?

    Wago in wall connection

    Want to emphasize first, this is not DIY. Recently had some building work done, and we're just decorating one of the rooms. There are 2 places where the electrician has used wago to join cable, and then popped them into the wall. Are these OK to be used like this? They're not in a housing or...

    Wire type for LED tape calculations

    Just want to check my logic here. I've got some LED strips I'm fitting. Max pull is at 48W at 5V, so requires 10A. I've got a Meanwell 200W 5V 40A PSU, so plenty. The LEDs though require power at both ends as they're addressable, so 5A to each end. So using this site, I'll probably have...

    Blocking old gas fire flue?

    We've got a precast flue for our gas fire which has been removed, as were having a media wall built in front of it with an electric fire. Going to board over the hole in the wall, but should I seal or stuff the flue with anything to stop drafts and stuff coming down it?

    Rendering timber framed water fountain

    6 years ago, I build an above ground water fountain and raised planter. The water fountain is essentially a pong, with a blade waterfall in it: It's constructed with timber, and cemented into the ground. However over the years, it's never really been dry and it's just a mess. Lots of the...

    New Dimension Gas Fire Installation

    Yeah its a precast flue. We'd like to try and stick with gas if possible as the running costs for them are quite a bit higher!

    New Dimension Gas Fire Installation

    Note: This isn't about a DIY install, just the work needed We've currently got a Kinder Oasis Gas Fire with a Chimney Flue. Dimension wise, the first is 250mm deep and 485mm wide. What we were planning to do is your media wall, but remove the existing fireplace and hearth and replace with one...

    Gas Fire vs Electric Fire Efficiency

    We've current got a standard UK inset gas fire from Kinder, (Oasis) it's an open flame so no glass. We're looking at building out the area around the fire to become a sort of media wall due to the the terrible shape of our living room, however to do this, the fire would have to be swapped, most...

    Patio French Doors with window in door?

    To be honest, I was looking at a replacement rather than modification! The ones that are in are just your standard french doors like these

    Patio French Doors with window in door?

    Yeah we've got trickle vents on the doors already. They're more for general air circulation to stop condensation though rather than letting in fresh air like a window :D Basically this with glass top and bottom, with double french doors instead of a single door
