Thanks for the replies, I got the metal anchors like suggested and has worked well. Hopefully the cabinet will still be up in the morning!

I need to fit a new mirrored cabinet to bathroom wall. Walls are plasterboard, cabinet weighs about 13kg. Has 4 fitting points, one in each corner. What plugs/fixings would you recommend? The reviews of all seem mixed so would be good to know what people have successfully used! Thanks

Thanks for your reponce Could a set up like this not be achieved? https://bhs-homeimprovements.com/all-products/eastbrook-dual-fuel-elbow-valve-in-chrome/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIu5S1kob2gwMVJ49QBh0kBAWCEAQYCSABEgLnqfD_BwE

Hi I have probably a stupid question I want to change a radiator in bathroom to a towel radiator. The radiator itself is currently 600mm wide. But where the pipes come through floor to the valves are 670mm apart. Is it a 600 wide towel radiator I need and some valves? Is it easy to fit a...

Hi I’m looking for some advice on how to deal with a window which is beside a bath. There is a shower above the bath which i want to be able to use. I need to fit a screen or curtain for the normal side to stop splashing into the room. But on the wall side there is a wooden window which I also...

Thanks for your advice. How can I tell what kW the current t60si is? It was in the house when we moved in so not sure

Pic of current one

I have a Triton T60si that I’m looking to replace as it’s leaking a bit from the bottom. I see there’s an “easy fit” triton available which I was thinking about, are these recommended? Reviews seem a bit variable but thought it might make it possible as a DIY, non plumber fit. I want one that...

Hi, wondering if someone could help I have a vent axia extractor fan in utility room of house we moved into not long ago. A while ago I accidentally left it on and thought I’d knackered it. But went to look at it today and switched it on at socket and pulled the cord and it went on and seemed...

Hi I’ve got a new wireless/battery ring doorbell and wondered if it’s ok to put it on the actual door itself? The door is wood so would be the easiest place to attach it. Or is there a reason not to? Current doorbell is on the harling just to side of the door like normal but that makes it...

Here is switch outside fireplace

The manual says 220-240v 50Hz 1kW/2kW heat outputs

Thank you for your replies, I now have the fire and bought a socket to attach to the wire. The wire I think has 1mm2 on it, does that sound thick enough? Pics below The fuse in the socket outside the fire was a 3amp. I’ve been told I should get a 10amp for that, does that sound right?

Wondering if someone could help! I’ve had an inset gas fire removed, gas capped etc. There is a switch beside the fireplace that was for the igniter, and the wire is still in the opening. Can I add a stocket to this wire to plug a new electric fire into so that can then be the switch for...

I’m not sure, there is a gas fire in situ and a draft, on the outside what looks like a vent/flu cover. I assumed an electric fire wouldn’t need this? It’s not like an air brick

I’m getting my gas fire pipes capped off soon and will be replacing the fire with an electric one. The main reason for this is the draft that comes in through the vent behind the fire is really bad in winter. Is it just a case of bricking up the hole where the vent goes outside? Or do I have to...

Thanks that’s what I’m thinking as I’ve effectively created a foundation for the back part of the slab to sit on, rather than just the earth where i would use sharp sand

I’m about to attach 300mm paving along a small wall, single brick thick, which is retaining the lawn behind it. So the paving will be like coping stones on the wall, but paving on the earth behind the wall. I’ve put a channel of concrete behind the wall to prevent the paving sinking if it gets...

I’m in the process of levelling my garden before putting down turf. It was covered in slabs and stones, but have got rid of these and so far 3 skip fulls of earth. So as part of levelling I have had to lower the back of the garden and have created a step down/retaining wall. The blocks aren’t...

Hi i am just getting ready to build a boundary fence. One end will run up to the house so want to get it snug against wall to keep dog in etc. I am nervous about drilling into the house incase I crack the harling and wondered if this was essential! Is it ok to just have the last post a foot or...
