Hey all, Any idea what the best spray tip for this paint would be? I'm using a Graco A30 which uses the TrueAirless tips. I think the tech doc says .015, but I thought that was too big for satin paint?! Others reccomend like .010 and .008! Appreciate any advice, All the best, G

Morning all, I'm in a wee bit of a rush to get a house done for a family member and I'm after some advice. I've got a Graco A30 pro and would like to find a satin paint I can use with this. I've looked at the Tik Helmi but it's going to come in at 200 quid for the 10L I need. Could someone...

Thanks all. - I contacted one of the Airless shops online, they told me the extension is compatible as its the same size thread 7/8" / 22mm - The tip is a Graco TrueAirless 515, black. Its the tip that ships with the machine. - I bought some Bullseye primer and will prime over the areas of the...

Hi guys, I appreciate any help you can give me. I’m coating a whole room in one colour (sage green) hinc walls ceiling, coving and trim. I started but the sprayer put out too much paint, so now a 1m width of wall is painted and dry. I stupidly used Zinser peel stop as a spot prime where the...

So I’ve terminated 3 of the downlights ina Wago box. I’ve got the pendant wire ready to go. However, I’m not sure what do with these remaining wires. In the picture. Green tape- wire which goes to the pendant (via junction box) Middle - this is the mains wire from the light switch. Remaining...

Thinking it may be necessary to chase the wire into the adjacent joist space?

This is how the down lights are wired. It would have been fine but the down lights run through separate joist spaces to where the pendant needs to go

Thanks mate. I don't have access to the loft (its converted, so would have to take carpets up for access to under floor/ceiling). There are definitely both the black and blue from the top row. The black/brown circular ones are clearly old and the blue for the dimmers. I've been trying to...

Hey, I'm wanting to replace my bedroom downlight with a single ceiling rose (pendant). I've 4 downlight that are not close to the centre of the ceiling where the pendant will go. Any advice is much appreciated! Best, G

Hello all, We've now had 2 failed timers (manual one on boiler). Can we replace this with something else like a smart one, is it possible to somehow integrate the use of a Nest or similar (Smart) by replacing the upstairs thermostat or any other way? Many thanks for your help, Best.

Hi all, I've laid some Arditex NA over the kitchen floor area (not under cabinets. The area is 4.5m x 1.8m. The top third of the room is totally level. The remainder of the room has a slope, left to right with a max difference of 7mm in an isolated area and 5mm for average. (1mm-7mm left to...

So I changed the carbide blade on the scraper and I've managed to get all the paint off. I'm using BAL Flex Plus, will this primer be good for working over plaster. Hope you can help!

Tried to get the rest off but it’s stuck like “@“@“

Hi All, Tiles are 300x100 ceramic and adhesive is Bal Flex Plus Standard As always, thanks in advance.

EFL/Frodo Thanks a ton for your help. I'll let you know how it goes....

Hi all, I have a 3 gang dimmer which controls 2 sets of LED downlights (9 in total) that are in our galley kitchen and the outside light. I would like to combine the downlights and outside light to a 2 gang architrave switch. I have no requirement for a dimming function and need a slim switch...

Thanks for asking. I've remodelled the kitchen and in doing so have had to move the hob, to the right, by 45mm. I am not in a position to move the existing ducting as it is adjacent to a joist, so I need to connect to it with a slight angle to make up the 45mm. I've read that flexible ducting...

Hi all, I need to move your cooker hood 45mm to one side. I know flex isn't great due to the issues of collecting grease etc, but would a short span be ok as I can't seem to find a rigid connector that will work. Thanks in advance. H

Apologies, just re read my post. Clearly I will use a trim for the top of the splash back, the question is for around the sash window and where the tiles meet the adjacent kitchen unit Thanks all.

Hi all, I'm just finishing up our kitchen install with a metro tile splash back. The tiles are flat 200x100x7 in matt white, grout is Fugabella No4. Is a 6mm trowel the right way to go? S1 Adhesive? Not too fussed about price, more convenience as I'm hoping to finish up asap. Lastly, without...
