I have this TRV in my house but it has never had a top head to it since we moved in. I want to buy one so I can turn the rad off to remove it. The measurements are 15mm pipe work, 28mm main large thread, 19mm across the large hex and 12mm across the internal small hex head bit. I think it is...

Hi, just moved into a new house (EDIT: 5 bedrooms if this helps understand system type) and we have some plumbing issues and questions. I think I need to try to understand my setup a bit to know what I can/can't attempt myself and to try to troubleshoot things. I don't know a lot about these...

My garage floor is an old concrete scree which is very uneven and with nobbly ridges and bumps. I wanted to level it so... I used Setcrete Universal Floor Levelling compound in 20kg bags. I used the official Setcrete High Performance Acrylic primer with it. I primed thoroughly and left it...

Hey all. I pointed the gaps in some patio slabs yesterday and left it a few hours. In the evening I gave the garden a water and due to the fall unfortunately the water ran over them and settled well into the evening I would think. So the slabs are now stained. Any chance this would ever come...

Hi. I thought it would be best to explain this one with pictures mainly. Objective is to wire up 3 new LED batten lights in the garage. I bought a 3 gang 2 way metal switch to wire them all into but when I finished the job, if the fused switch in the box below the 3 gang is turned on, all the...

If you were to install lights for an average sized (home) garage today in the UK, would you consider LEDs yet? I mention the UK because a lot of thoughts on this subject or online forum posts/videos are based in the US where LED lighting may be cheaper and more widely available. I also find that...

I have a SGS43E08GB/45 Bosch Exxcel Dishwasher type S9G1B. The other day my other half said it went bang. A medium sized bang like a hand clap. This was during a cycle sometime. Now when we turn it on, the LCD still gets power and functions but when we select a program it only runs the drain...

Hi guys. I've some questions about how my house is wired. Built mid 80s. Terraced on an estate. I just want to be sure it's safe. My terminology is probably poor and I don't know what all the acronyms mean always. But I will do my best to describe. Most houses I have come across have the...

Hi there, We have a NEFF built in oven (not sure how old as we rent). It had the element replaced maybe a year or two ago just for info as it was not heating up to temperature. Anyway now, the problem is that intermittently, perhaps once a week, it will trip the RCD when we turn it OFF. Yes...

Hi all, In my downstairs ALL the lights are SES R50 40w Reflector spot incandescent bulbs. So in the lounge there are 2 x Ceiling fitments with 3 spots/holders in each. The Hall has a similar thing on a rail with 4, and the Kitchen has another with 3. That's a total of 13 of these bulbs =...

Hi all, I am in a property that currently has a really ugly earth cable (proper thick one) that comes out from my kitchen through a big hole in the brick wall. I want to know it's purpose and why it has been ran in this way as I see no other houses like this and was wondering if I can...
