Could I convert that backbox into a normal plug in backbox using the existing cables?

This is what I have in the switch if it helps

Is the the cable for the dishwasher not the grey one visible in the photo?

I'm assuming the grey cable goes to the back of the dishwasher and needs removing first.

Hi people I've got a new dishwasher coming today so I've been clearing my cupboard out ready to remove the old one, only to realise it's hardwired in. What do I need to do to convert this to the plug in style. Happy to have a go myself. Any advice appreciated.

Hi people, so I need to fit a new Venetian blind and my window recess is 1780mm, and all the off the shelf blinds in stores are 1800mm wide. Could I somehow 'make' one of these blinds fit my recess by chiselling a bit of plaster away and then filling around it to tidy it up? If I can somehow...

Yes I think going forward I will use that technique thank you. Any advice on the caulking? Can you caulk between wallpaper and painted ceiling/skirting?

Hi people, So I've had my first go at wallpapering and jeez it's hard work to get a nice finish....anyway I've got a couple of issues I could do with some advice with if possible. Where I tried to Stanley knife the top and bottom to give a clean cut the paper has not cut cleanly at all. Can I...

I believe it is the ecotec plus 32.....

Where would I find the maximum output setting any idea? On the boiler itself there is only hot water and central heating adjustments?

Hi people I have a valiant modulating boiler with smart controls and I want to make sure I have set it up correctly, as even though I have set the central heating flow temp to 65c it only shows like an average of 44c when in use, and seems to take ages to raise the room temps just 2 degrees and...

I think this might be what i need to screw into the tap tails and then plastic pipe down to a female one to go into the copper connector? https://www.amazon.co.uk/John-Guest-Straight-Adaptor-supplied/dp/B005XTZGLG

I'm certainly learning a lot today! I'm buying them right angled screwdrivers :)

This is the tap ive picked:- https://www.costco.co.uk/Home-Improvement/Bathroom/Taps/GROHE-Start-Edge-Single-Lever-Basin-Mixer-Tap-Model-23830000/p/299322 If anyone can point me in the direction of the right JG Speedfit pipes and couplers to get that would be very handy :)

Tell me about it, its an absolute nightmare turning them and I'm sure I'm going to do the valves some damage going in heavy at an angle :(

Thanks for the reply, and the advice on which nut to turn, I think extending copper runs is definitely beyond my plumbing capabilities.... Is there a way to attach my new tap flexi tails to the existing flexi with some sort of coupler?

Hi people I need to swap a basin mixer tap in my bathroom as I've swapped the cartridge a few times but it keeps breaking. I have ordered some monobloc spanners and I've watched a few videos online so I'm confident of the procedure, I'm just not confident of how to disconnect the old one first...

Thanks for taking the time to reply appreciated. Is the capacitor something I can buy from a regular shop and is it an easy install? I'm happy to have a go if it doesn't involve soldering at all.

Hi people, I know saniflo units are frowned upon but I bought a house with one in my en-suite and to be fair it's been fairly faultless if a little noisy as it is only used sporadically. Anyway over the last few days it wouldn't stop humming unless I popped the fuse out, so being keen to avoid...

Hi people, I have hanging fascia tiles at the front of my property that have been painted by the previous owners. This paint has started to peel and flake and look pretty awful. I have gone up on a ladder and attempted to scrape some paint away from a tile to see how easy they would be to...
