Hi all, Not sure how best to achieve this, I'm trying to make a cut out in my skirting board to fix over part of the hearth of my fireplace. Picture attached of the area in question, I'm sure there is an easy way that I'm just not figuring out! Thanks

Thanks both, getting this sorted next week.

Hi all, My lounge has a concrete subfloor and I'm looking to lay laminate over it. The lounge has a small extension on it and where the original floor leads into the extension it slopes downwards by around 5mm + or -). I'd like to confirm that the best option is some self levelling...

It is set to 60c, I'll turn it down 5c and see if it's different in the morning.

Hi all. Had this pump installed today and I wasn't expecting complete silence. I was thinking there'd be some vibration but this thing squeals/whines the whole time a tap or shower is running in the bathroom. Is this right or not? Pump is installed next to cylinder. Thanks

Oh I see. GSR engineer to the rescue for that then! Thank you

Hi all My 24CDi is leaking from the area shown in the picture attached. Not my picture but best I could find. Is that the auto air vent? If so how easy is it to replace? Do I just switch off the boiler, drain, replace and repressurise? Thanks

Hi. In my downstairs toilet the sink basin has a popping plug in it. Push it down to seal push it in again to release it and drain the water. It has decided that it does not want to seal anymore. Pictures attached, any help will be greatly appreciated! Thanks

Hi all. Thanks for the quick responses, I'll see if there is any more slack as I was being careful. I may try separating them into separate blocks as that could give me some wiggle room. I think another box will be too big so I'll try the above before I start making a hole. Thank you all again.

Got some new lights to fit in the dining room but can't fit them as there doesn't seem to be enough wiring. I am trying to fit the bracket for the light but because the wiring is so tight I can't move it or the connection block out of the way to fit the bracket. Should I push the wiring into...

Hi all, Preparing to gravel my driveway and need some opinions on the type of membrane I will need. I now have clay after the excavating I have done and so the sub base will need to be heavy duty. I want to make sure that none of that sub base mixes with that clay and so want a membrane...

This worked. The lights now work as they should. Forgive my stupidity, you told me to do this a few posts back but my silly brain didn't get it! I appreciate both your help on this matter and for your massive amounts of patience!

Ok. In the first photo the red arrow shows the cable from the ceiling rose and the orange arrow points to the cable that comes from both wall lights. As you can see, the wall lights are connected via the one cable. The second photo shows how the cables are terminated at the switch. Both...

If I was trolling it would be the worst trolling ever! Both wall lights are stuck on. Only one set of wire comes from the wall lights. They do not have a separate red, black or earth. Just one set of wires for both wall lights. What I can't understand is how the old switch worked .. as...

I have now switched the wire around and ceiling rose works fine but the wall lights are now on all the time regardless of the ceiling rose. I'm sorry to make you go around in a circle with me. The link wire is powering the wall lights but I cannot switch them off at the wall, what is it...

Thanks, I swapped them around but I am still having the same issue. The wall lights will not operate independently of the ceiling rose. The old switch must have contained magic as I cannot seem to get this to work! EDIT: In the old switch there appears to have been two *link* wires...

So put them on the same switch as the ceiling rose?

Thanks. Which two wires do you mean? I have Red, Black, Earth coming from the ceiling rose. The red on this is the permanent live. I also have Red, Black & Earth coming from the wall lights. Thanks
