Thank you - so I am guessing it would be ok to remove provided I follow the standard safety precautions? There are no electric heating units.

Hi, does anyone know what these switches are? I have a few on the second floor. Thank you.

Rear Extension Rear Extension re-development We are thinking about buying a house in England that has a rear extension. The house is from the 1930s, the existing rear extension was built before the current owners moved in so pre 2011, it is 3m in depth and the width on one side of the is...

Are ceramic and compression valves interchangeable provided the rest of the fitting/size is compatible?

Thanks, also just noticed, the above are ceramic but I need a compression one. So it’s not those. I will try contacting Bristan directly.

There are quite a few Bristan models so not sure which one would fit. Do you think this would work...

Hi - I was wondering if somebody could help me locate the correct tap gland for my tap. It is a Bristan (photo attached) the following gland 1/2” Tap Gland 8mm height spline fits the tap but the spline is too narrow and when I turn the tap it does not catch the teeth. I went to my local DIY...

Thank you all for your responses. The proposed option seems to be adding something on top. Is there perhaps a way to strip the current finishing and restore the bricks? I am not even sure if the whole facade is brick but looking at the neighbours house, the red one on the left it looks like...

Hi, is anyone able to tell me if it is possible to make the front of this house brick please? If so, what would the process be called and if anyone has any budget range estimates that would also be great. Thank you

Where can I buy a single square edge moisture resistant plasterboard panel please? Preferably with delivery. Most places are either out of stock or offer only bulk buying options - thank you

Thank you, yes I had misunderstood you - unfortunately that's not possible due to pipes and electrics running at the back. I think we will go for an integrated one.

Thank you for the suggestion. Is it ok to operate it like that? Also I worry that removing that will not give it enough clearance as that will make space in the middle but how far back it gets pushed would be limited by the frame. I haven't seen too many dishwashers without the back but the...

Hi, I was wondering if anyone could please help us source a full size freestanding dishwasher with a depth of 57 or 58 cm depending on how generous the recess/overhang is at the back. The dishwasher should also be flat at the front no concave door or sticking out handles. The issue we have...

We’ve been painting the walls around our windows and to do so we have removed the sealant - the idea was to paint and use a mould resistant sealant (we’ve had condensation and water build up issues before) however the gap is very large. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I should use...

Hi, I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations on how to fix this type of damage please? (Please see photo) I have a few similar damaged areas across a number of furniture but this is one of the worse. I also have damage on a flat surface and heard colorfill was good and has good...

Thank you for all your replies, the light fitting was metal and it had an earth cable separately so I just connected that to the earth wire terminal in the junction box as pictured. The earth cable was not in the same casing as the other cable so it goes in the junction box but separately the...

I need to run one of the earth ones and attach it to the light fitting itself don't I? It is metallic and has a designated terminal for the earth wire, but in doing so the wiring running to the light would no longer be intact as in the photo you posted.

Thank you for your reply. My concern is that I have read that none of the wires, blue, brown or earth should be outside of the casing the only visible wiring should be the white ones that hold the three inside. So my concern is how will I be able to fit them in the junction boxes, 3 from...

Hi, I am replacing two lights in my living room, they are currently on a three wire ceiling rose system, unfortunately the new lights do not accommodate the ceiling rose system. I am planning on using a junction box like this https://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/ASJ501.html? My only...
