I have a couple in my garden and want to swap one for a smart WiFi socket. Do the Masterseal enclosures have a completely standard housing, or are they custom for MK Logic Plus socket range? Thanks

Hi, Need to put some 50x50mm spikes in the ground - about 20-30cm deep. Thanks

Hi I have the battery version of Google's video doorbell. My house has never had a wired chime. I don't particularly want a chiming chime either as have Google speakers for announcements. So does such a thing exist that can be fed from a ring, mounted in a flush metal back box, that then...

I've just pulled out my leftover box of nails (is a handy pack with gas) as I'm redoing my deck frame. Noticed the box has an expiry (which I assume applies the gas). The date says JUN3018 which I assume is 30 June 2018 rather than 18 June 2030. I'm hiring the actual nailer (IM350+).

I'm building a corner pergola. The span across the front will be up to 4.5m. Will likely go for 6x6 posts as prefer the chunkier look. This is the sort of design I'm aiming for (mine will also be integrated into a deck): Thanks

Corner wardrobe... left pic is current, right pic is intended. Currently the hinge opens on the right side of the unit, but I'm looking to try and swing it the other way because there's a bed so you have manoeuvre around the door once it's opened. It's a DIY corner wardrobe made of IKEA PAX...

Boy, these are like the magical Unicorn. I've had various models of Chrome plated downlights in my bathroom over the years, and all of them just end up with surface 'bubbling' within a short time. Compared to my garden decking lights which are properly stainless steel with zero issues in 10...

Hey, Does anyone know Grohe's products well? I'm looking for a new ceiling shower head that has multiple spray options, and Google returned the Vitalio Joy and Euphoria 'systems'/ranges. The shower head looks like it's exactly the same across both ranges. But the price is not exactly the same...

Hi, I got a new kitchen tap recently and it came with what the instructions call 'Check Valves' - these ones are 15mm compression one end and male flexible tap connector the other end (the tap connector end has the white insert bit). I understand what these do but I can't quite find the right...

Hi, Is there a difference in quality between them? I've always used Screwfix ones but the last one keeps weeping. I see some claim "high quality" at 3 times the price. Which I don't mind paying if there really is a difference. What brand do kitchen fitters/plumbers generally prefer? Thanks

Hi, Can you get short pre made copper pieces, specifically "cranked"? I need to change my kitchen tap but at the moment the tap tails are literally stretched to max since my sink bowl is really deep so extending straight up is a no go. I have space behind the sink to fit a bit of cranked pipe...

Hey, Trying to think of a creative and slick way to keep a loft hatch stayed. I don't want anything surface mounted on the frame or door (except actual handle), since I just have a bad habit of catching skin and clothes on them. E.g. not these: My material thickness is 18mm, but I have a...

Has anyone used these to reduce the flow? Are they any good? I have really good flow, literally too good. But don't want to throttle at the stop cock because I want all that good flow for the shower. So was thinking of putting these on the bathroom and kitchen tap isolation points. If I try and...

Hi, I have my loft light switch on the landing, in a 4 gang switch. The number of times people randomly press switches until the right light comes on means the loft light usually gets left on. I have a trap door (drop down) style loft hatch and am considering moving the light switch to...

Hi, As title. For a loft hatch door to make it a bit more comfortable to open. Thanks

Hi, What's the best material and hinges to use for the loft door? Thanks

Hi, I've seen a few extensions go up recently, all on various type (semi, detached etc.) houses. One common theme I am seeing is that the brickwork is no longer stitched/toothed to the existing brickwork and rather just butted on the end. Whereas over the years they have been done 'properly'...

Thin monitor bezel + standard webcam clip/rest mount = no thanks! Has anyone come across something that is; self-adhesive to flat bit on back of monitor right angled, with straight pole, rather than those ugly flexible ones standard tripod thread at end Something like this:

Hi, I've recently become interested in "house temperature" from a conversation at work, plus I have smart heating conrols (all but one radiator also use a Smart TRV) which consistently tells me my house is cold and humid. Doing some research, most articles agree on 18-21/22degrees (especially...

Hi, What is the law in this scenario: Bought item on Black Friday as a Christmas gift Opened only very recently - fault identified and reported to seller immediately (Amazon) No replacement option, refund only so have to rebuy Price is now £110 more They are saying replacement cannot be done...
