Changed the AA batteries. Never knew it had any. All is working again. Thanks for the responses all.

I can get 410 from screwfix. Will they be okay?

Ah yes. I see what you mean. Is it normal for water to collect in this area of the window or does this indicate a fault? Where can I get a replacement hinge and are they a standard size? Thanks for your help.

What rating MCB at source would benefit from a CU?

For my understanding, if I was coming off a 16amp MCB, then I would benefit from an additional CU? Thanks for your help.

This happens every time I remove the battery. If I leave the battery in the radio and power down, it’s fine. Can you please advise.

Do you know why it’s rusted? The other side is completely dry.

I am happy to come out of the ring in the house into a FCU and then from here outdoors with a SWA (2.5 or 4mm?). I would then add a CU in the utility of it meant that any overload/fault will be handled here, rather than trip the circuit in the house.

Could the CU in the utility room avoid the house fuse tripping?

We rarely use this window. When I opened recently, I noticed this rust, broken screw head. Need to understand why this is rusted and how I fix this. I thought it may just need a new screw but the bit in the corner isnt pulling the window in and hence, there’s always a gap in the bottom right...

The 2.5mm cable I was referring to was for the existing Ring Circuit in the house. I can take my supply in 4mm SWA if that's what you suggest? I thought you were going to say that this was woefully inadequate and I really need a new circuit from the CU in the house. That's promising. On...

I am planning on building an outdoor utility room out of timber and would like to put the following in it: - couple of lights - fridge freezer - tumble dryer - washing machine Not all will be running at the same time. I can fit a shed Consumer Unit to keep things tidy. My question relates to...

These have flanges. In places, the screws need to be flush with the timber. Do I need to use a spade bit there? Wanted to check if I’m looking at the right thing. Thanks for your detailed (and graphic) response earlier.

I am planning to but I also have another crack that runs in the opposite direction to the joist. Trying to establish a good approach for these.

I've tackled these a number of times over the years and broadly used the following approaches, after some research: 1. paper plasterboard tape bedded in with easifill and then levelled off with further layers of easifill 2. gouged the crack with a screwdriver and then filled and levelled with...

What stuff do people use on windows when renovating indoors? I often see some stuff pasted on the panes when new outlets are refitting, etc. want to use this whilst I am decorating a room.

It’s for the timber framing. I’ve noted the recommended length. I then have choices of brands, single/double thread, some that have no thread for some of the screw. Unsure on what is recommended for this type of usage. Also, I assume it’s drywall screws for the plasterboard fixing to the...

The current wall is block but plasterboard and plastered. My new wall is studwork with plasterboard. This will join (in the corner with the existing wall). Plasterboard tape in my case?

Where I have an internal join between plasterboard, should I use joint tape in the corner? I am using the thin coat metal bead on external corners.

On this, should I use single or double thread screws? Please let me know if there are any other recommendations. Thanks again.
