    Replacing downlights with led

    They're part of the cable grip assembly you do need to put them in for t&e so it's gripped properly This is how it should look, in the second pic you can see the gap with the cover on is about right to grip a bit of t&e, without those extra bits in place it won't grip properly

    Possibly old substandard red and black t&e where the red insulation has degraded and turned brown, are you able to IR test it?

    Carpet to click LVT transition

    Hi all, What is the correct threshold strip to join carpet to click LVT which is only 4/5mm thick please? As you can see a standard Z bar strip does not work it leaves a rather big gap on the LVT side. Cheers!

    Thought I'd just crack on and double up the joist and notch it properly, glued and screwed, no stress with the inspection now. Can't really put bolt and nuts through it as the face will be visible, may get some 140mm lag bolts and put them in place of the screws though

    Or would I get away with lag bolts or normal bolts?

    No all the steps are the same the staircase was bespoke manufactured, the joist is in the position its in because thats the size of opening the staircase manufacturers had on their plans, its just a few cm off. That sounds like a good plan I can run another length of timber along the whole...

    Problems with rimless toilets?

    Yes - I don't think I've seen many about either. But almost everything on the market apart from bog in the box type toilets seems to be described as rimless, maybe a new thing as I don't remember that being the case a few years ago when I was last looking for a toilet for another bathroom

    Problems with rimless toilets?

    Hi, I'm looking for a new back to the wall toilet for use with a concealed cistern in my downstairs WC. Almost everything on the market appears to be rimless, I've heard mixed things about these from water splashing out or the flush not clearing the bowl properly. I'll be using a 6 litre...

    Who makes lights which last?

    Personally I've had good luck with Ansell and Fusion (cef own brand) bulkhead lights, they have 2/3 different lumen settings which is great if you're not sure exactly what brightness you'll need, and they're CCT, but internally, not from the light switch. I'm not a fan of the ones that change...

    fairy lights danger

    I wouldn't worry about it too much as long as they are LED, which they almost certainly will be, I doubt the tenants would want to pay the bill for leaving older incandescent sets running all the time! Even the dodgy LED sets online aren't so much a fire hazard rather an electric shock hazard...

    Can anyone help me purchase the correct replacement plug?

    For an exact replacement, if you buy a set of 100 chaser lights (any colour) from B&M they will have the exact same power supply. However, going off your reddit post, if the new 3.5V power supply you tried didn't work at all, I'd suggest the fault lies within the lights themselves. With that...
