Drill a hole large enough to get the end of a carbide saw through and saw it out. Or stitch drill and saw. https://www.screwfix.com/p/vitrex-tile-saw/8884d

I have tiles to remove from a steel stud and plasterboard wall. Only concern is that on the other side of the wall is another tiled bathroom. I know the wall is flexible but am I likely to get away without disturbing the other side? Won't be an absolute disaster if I do as I have to redo that...

We have a Y-plan system with indirect tank and non-condensing (13 year old boiler/house). Have recently cleaned system and added inhibitor (the one advised in boiler manual) as we seemed to have a cycling issue - now gone as far as I can tell. The mid-position valve was also swopped while the...

Apologies if I hurt anyone's feelings but wife wanted a bath . . . It is heating water but slowly, the 3 way valve is moving (from tell tale) and the heating is working but the boiler is noisy. Added some cleaner this morning (Sentinel 400 as it is 15-16 years old), probably needs another...

As above, hot water tank and central heating both with header tanks in the loft. Indirect cylinder. Boiler was getting very noisy and fan changed. Boiler been off 2 days waiting for part (we were away), now as we wanted hot water quickly on water only the boiler is cycling. Pump is turning...

D-commissioning a bathroom won't achieve anything for the showers in the other two, I have never noticed a problem with simultaneous showers, two are original and have separate hot/cold feeds from the tank, the other is fed from a combination bath/shower tap. Three bathrooms - why not, we have...

Looking for some advice, Hot water heated from boiler, indirect tank with header tank in loft (surface water level about 3ft above first floor ceiling). Cold water supply has a pressure reducing valve in the garage set at about 3-4 bar to limit the pressure in the house, the cold water...

Clay look far better and you already have them. They can be re-used. If you don't re-use them they have a re-sale value which your roofer may not tell you about. If you need to replace some then second hand tiles are available. Concrete "Rosemary" are available but look horrible.

My current (DELL) laptop charger has a small three pin plug on the mains cable, the last one (Fujitsu) was similar. Not much bigger than a figure of 8. Not sure where you would get one.

Surprising that no-one has mentioned that they could be 2BA

Builder only offers wireless (for 1200) and won't allow access before it is finished although he has exchanged contracts. I don't have a CSCS card either.

It is a new build, only 1 floor high so far. I would prefer wired but he and his mother don't want the decoration disturbing. I guess wireless would be quicker to install. Builder is unlikely to let me on site before it is plastered.

son is buying a new house and we are looking for a wireless alarm. The most recent recommendations thread is a couple of years old and technology moves on. I have fitted a couple of wired systems in the past. Will probably need 4 pairs and a door contact or 5 pairs, may want to add camera in...

Took the fire out and the back doesn't come off - the front does. LED driver has 240V input but negligible output depite claims of 21V output so it has failed. Valor's unit looks like it comes cabled so you have to unthread all the cables to the LEDs, a bare unit would allow just awitching the...

Not quite that simple. looked at fire Sunday and no sign of lamp, spoke to valor and it is the LED driver that they think has failed - £80 from valor as a valor spare and Valor won't provide an exploded diagram of the fire so they want me to all out an enginer - a new fire is cheaper than that...

As above and expected this to be a simple bulb to change. Manual says call valor . . . Is it just a bulb or is it more complex?

New battery fitted last night, CEF don't carry Yuasa anymore but got it for just under £20. The one fitted is showing very slight bulging to some of the cells and has been in 4-5 years, didn't write the installation date on it last time but wife says it is before she started her current job...
