Hello, I'm looking to get a new thermostatic shower mixer bar as I don't seem to be getting a lot of pressure from the combi boiler (water pressure isn't great around here). Are there any products out there specifically for low water pressure. The one I have in at the moment was only very...

Hello folks As the title says really, I'm looking to buy a couple of Acro props with Strongboys. I've worked out that I will need them on at least 4-5 separate occasions so should be more cost effective to but them and sell them for half price used. Anyone have any ideas as to where I...

Unfortunately this plasterer (and lad) didn't put any in. Had none of his own, I'm supplying the materials. He tried to spin a few conflicting yarns about it so I'm not totally happy about being lied too! He said if he just painted the waterproofer onto the scratchcoat then the waterproofer...

OK, Many thanks

Many thanks, The cable is 1.5 mm. If the diagram suggests the feed is protected by a 3am fuse (no other information other than a wiring diagram, Axia silhouette T 100) would you therefore suggest I put one in anyway, even if not normally required? Not sure if this is important but there...

Hello all, I'm in the progress of fitting back boxes and extending the lighting wiring to the bathroom to include the fitting of extractor fan (im not doing it all myself just saving where I can on what I can do myself) The diagram with the fan suggest that the feed into the bathroom is...
