Hi, Can I use a wago junction box, which would go under the kitchen base units behind a plinth, instead of a surface pattress/appliance face plate inside the base unit? This is on a fused spur with the fused switch above the worktop. The Twin and earth coming out the wall about knee height...

I'm moving my ceiling rose about a meter and one of the cables (neutral + earth) is just a bit short and need extending. Can I use t&e (which I have) and just use one of the cores to make it longer or have i got to get a length of single and earth. If I can use t&e, should I trim the other...

Hi, As the title suggests, i'm looking for a recommendation on the right primer for my floor. Its got a very faint hint of black glue that held (or not so well held) the tiles in place. Those 9x9's that probably contained asbestos that seem to be in everyone house. I've read that normal...

Hi, When I moved into our house (its a late 70's house) we had the old heating system ripped out and put a combi in. This left some wiring which, for me at least, has always had a blank plate and the wires were "dead". Since starting the kitchen remodel i've found the switch that controls...

Hi, I've been swapping some light switches and light fittings recently and being an older house, late 70's I think. I found the lighting circuit runs off this wire, this being the live to all the switches, with an accompanying sheathed (red or black depending if its from the switch to light or...

Hi, I have a patio with ACO drainage for the water run off as the soil all around is clay and when it rains the area drains very poorly. My issue is trying to extend the ACO down the length of the house (we're laying a path anyway) to the down pipe of the guttering (Easiest option). I was hoping...

Hi All, I'm sure this has been asked a million times, but i can't seem to find the answer I've drawn my own diagram and was wondering if this is OK / Correct before I start down the path of doing. I'm trying to fit an extractor fan (with timer) to the lighting circuit. The instructions...

Which is best option? A, A layout where there is a small slither (circa 1 inch) on the outer edge (both sides). B, A slither (circa 1 inch) on either side of the window. C, Move the centre point of the tiles over slightly (This option does however mean the basin is central to a tile. I...

Hi, I'm currently looking at tiling the bathroom and the wall to the bath has a bow from the centre outwards, meaning at the extremes are about 5-6mm out. I have packed out the first row as in the picture which has meant that the extremes have now got about 12mm of adhesive. My first...

Hi All, I'm hoping someone out there has some idea how to solve me problem. I've just fixed toilet in place and attempted to connect the 90 degree connector to the soil stack (which is right in the corner of the room) and the connector falls short (Roughly 1 or 2 inches). I have attempted...

Hi All, I imagine this has been asked before but I couldn't find an answer. I'm looking to start the bathroom and the (towel) Rad is on a wall, that as of yet the Mrs wants to leave for the time being, with the idea that she wants to see how it look when its done. Once everything is...

Hi All, I think the question is in the title but to be completely clear. Is it possible to twist the single socket (WC) 3 boss connector pipe around. I'm looking to just move it say 10 degrees clockwise just to straighten it up when the new WC goes in. This is on the main soil pipe so both...
