Aargh. Drilled into a wall and managed to nick a live wire. First time I've done such a thing. My assumed fix ... 1) Turn all leccy off. 2) Dig out plaster to get to channel. 3) locate the damaged wire(s) and cut out. 4) rejoin the wires using junction/packbox. 5). Replaster the channel...

Hi all, I need to get a curtain pole up over the doors in my conservatory. The length is around 8 foot. The problem is that there is an rsj right above the door and I can only drill in for about 20mm. I did put one up, but after few days it's come down. Any ideas to fix it back?

Hi Sunray. Paid little attention to what was going on inside that light, basically isolated it, took the cover down and saw the two T&Es, so investigations stopped there. Thanks for your help.

Hi guys, firstly, the light in question had actually been working, but stopped a couple of weeks ago, also, it was not attached to a fan. So anyway I went there today, took the cover down and there were two sets of twins &earth going into it. Looking into the ceiling, one twin & earth cable...

Hi all, it's not working apparently, I've not been there to look as of yet.

Meaning? .... ( just want to be prepared)

Hi all. Any help with this please? An elderly uncle wants me to replace his bathroom light and has sent me this pic of the old one up there now. Not seen that kind before to be honest. I'm assuming that once unscrewed it will reveal the usual twin and earth going into it?

That's wonderful. Very much appreciate your help, thanks.

Thanks. It's not mine, I was just sent the pic. There is only a washing machine there at the moment so the other waste must be spare. So, how do I connect the horizontal pipe to the dishwasher inlet pipe?

Hi all, installing a dishwasher, can someone please advise on where the pipes should go into this system? dishwasher install

Hi all. These stone balls are in a friend's garden. Very old and the worse for wear. What process is needed to fix them? Some kind of render? Is it a job for a stonemason as opposed to a diy merchant maybe?

Thanks. Andy, how to get the old one off??

Hi, I'm not back at home till weekend. Was hoping to get replacement from Screwfix to take home with me and do the job on Sunday.

Hi all, seen other posts on this but can't find my specific answer. My bathroom sink plug needs changing. Ive attached a couple of pics, one of the hole and one from underneath the sink. Can some advise how I get it out please? And are replacements pretty standard? Thanks so much for any help.

Thanks guys. Will check it out at weekend.

Hi all. My auntie sent a pic of her leaking bathtap. Pretty old as you can see. Would these taps have cartridges or just washers? Any tips as I want to go prepared. Many thanks.

ok, appreciate that thanks. Just one question, the white wires are pretty thin, certainly compared to the wires in the old light. Any issues with that at all?
