    Heavy ceramic sink into 700mm kitchen cabinet.

    Hi. I'm installing a single 700mm kitchen cabinet with 2 doors into a small utility room conversion. The sink is too big in my opinion (shouldn't have asked the other half for her preference!).

    Hi. I was going to put laminate over the existing (awful) tiles in our soon to be utility room.

    Wrong hinges fitted to uPVC windows?

    Dodgy central heating wiring noted whilst replacing stat!

    Hi guys. I've been assessing my CH recently since the pump ground to a halt for the 3rd time and the boiler repeatedly overheated and cut out. I've temporarily resolved this issues but whilst investigating I found the wiring of the ancient electronic CH controller, wall and tank stats, pump and...

    Fused lighting spur from spur?

    Hi all, just making some improvements to my dining room and getting the electrics sorted before replastering. I have what appears to be a spur (only 1 cable running to it, looks like 2.5mm t&e) running to a double socket. It's in a position which makes it very difficult to add it to the ring...
