I note it is “aerogel enhanced”. Is this a snakeoil product? Cork plaster is a thing. Aerogel is a thing. Whether this particular product, applied 5mm thick, is worthwhile or not…. ??? (No I haven’t watched the video, I don’t want to increase its popularity.)

Well actually they do, they say “until the water runs clear”. So you’re doing the right thing, hmm.

No. Yes. I think the drawer body comes with a couple of brackets that you fit onto the drawer front, and then the body clips to those. Or something like that. I think a drawer front for a 500mm unit will be about 495mm, but I’m not completely sure about that.

I built the floor myself; it’s OSB over PIR over concrete. Ground floor. I’m not going to worry much but thanks for mentioning it.

Thanks; I was skeptical about both the “cheap” and “strong” parts of your reply but have looked at some specs and the parts are both cheaper and stronger than I had guessed. The limiting factor seems to be the wall anchors and the wall itself. This wall is good brick so I should be OK - though...

Fernox have a water quality test where you send off a sample. I don't know whether this would identify what the colour is due to. No doubt other services are available. My earlier unanswered question about what the cleaner's instructions say was supposed to suggest "does the colour matter?"...

There are various cork-insulated plaster and render products available. There are other products that use minerals like vermiculite or foamed glass instead of cork. Here’s a random example: https://ewistore.co.uk/shop/external-wall-insulation/insulating-cork-render-ewi-745/ That is about half...

What do the instructions that came with the cleaner say?

Blimey, nearly a year later and you come back to post that!

Get a loo with the outlet at the same height as the old one? (In my naivety I guessed that all toilets had their outlet at the same standard height, but this seems to not be the case because you are not the first to ask a question like this here. Experts, how much variation is there? Has the...

Crucially you need the name of the supposed SE.

Wickes sell “Henrad by Stelrad”. I think that’s what we’re all talking about.

It’s 2.35m high, so generally no.

Let them offer you a spare key so you can come and resolve any issues while they are away, then put the house on AirBnB for two weeks, allowing yourself one week to clean up before they return. Profit! (Sorry, couldn't resist...)

This small room is currently storing materials for my flat renovation project: The right hand side has mostly plasterboard, insulation boards and similar large sheets which use the space efficiently. On the left hand side, as you can see I have a pile of bits of timber (and some pipes) on...

If you walk around randomly toggling switches and observing whether the light state toggles, it will work correctly two thirds of the time: - The right switch always works. - The middle switch and the left switch both work when the other is up. Most such switches are used with a particular...

You might, or might not, get better advice from the manufacturer than from "random people on the internet". In particular, the instructions will probably tell you that it should be connected to an isolating switch and be fused. Or similar.

He's talking about something like this: https://www.screwfix.com/p/etal-led-thermo-300w-chrome-towel-radiator-heating-element/285ea

What do the towel radiator’s instructions say?

So you can replace it any other shower pull-cord switch. Obviously not with a pull-cord switch that’s only suitable for lighting, as that would have a much lower rating. Similarly your cooker switch can be replaced with any cooker switch with single socket. Subject to e.g. having enough slack...
