Hi, Can anyone advise the correct way, if possible, to wire this LED batten light to a mains plug? It's to go in my loft and I already have a plug socket in there that it could plug into. I would be looking to have an in line switch as well. Would it just be 2 core cable wired through the...

I really at at my wit's end with the heating in my house. So, no matter what I do I cannot get all my radiators to be hot. Luke warm is the best I can get. This has been an issue for a couple of years and we have persevered. What happens is one radiator can be hot but even by turning this...

So today for reasons unknown the connector in my outside tap hose decided to split causing a minor flood. Luckily it has an isolation valve and is now turned off. No idea why it split since it hasn't been touched in years. My question is, can the connector be taken off and replaced? I...

I've had a bulb blow on me today which isn't unusual. However, it is the manner in which it has happened that seems worrying. The fixture is a ceiling light that has five bulbs in it. They are all 6W LED bulbs. One of them today suddenly popped, tripped the fuse and a small cloud of smoke...

I had a problem with a radiator that was only heating a small amount at the top. Today I took it off and flushed it out as best i could with a hose. I have now put the radiator back on, opened the bleed valve to let all the air out (to the point water starts to come out) then closed this, I...

First time I have ever used metal platerboard rawlplugs and from what I gather it should be fairly straight forward. However the plug themselves do not seem to be threaded internally meaning the screws won't go in. Is that a manufacturing error or am I just doing it wrong? 20180317_130623 by...

I have a five bulb light fitting in my living room. I previously had 5 energy saving style bulbs in it of which 3 died. I then replaced these over time with 3 LED bulbs which stopped working after about 6 months. I then put in another 3 LED bulbs and again they are now still working but the...

Looking for advice before I do something silly. I'm having a torid time with the gap between my monoblock and lawn edge. It keeps getting overgrown. There is a stone divider (about 30cm deep) between the lawn and the monoblock and it's what to do about the bit in between. I've cleared it out...

Hi Everyone, I have a Triton Luca mixer shower that I've had for about 5 years. About 2 months ago a small drip started coming from the shower head which has gotten progressively worse. If I turn the flow up or down slightly (using the dial on the left of the above picture) it can reduce...

I have a Vokera compact 28 SE combi boiler which is about 4 or 5 years old. The issue is whenever it turns on it makes quite a loud noise. A bang is maybe a bit of a strong word but it's like something hitting the metal casing of the boiler and causing a thud. It didn't do it when it first...
