Hi guys, had a roof repair on a large shed, which turned into a new shed on the old concrete base. Slate roof, fitted some used bi folds etc. So it's been a much bigger project than anticipated and its a waste to use it all purely as a shed. One thing that had me concerened from start was no...

Hi all. Trying to lower the humidity in a large old overlap shed. Back wall takes a real battering from the elements and even after weather coating it, it can get quite wet. I have concreted the floor. I planned to tyvek the inside (can't redo the outside yet to big a job), however I've read...

Hello all, recently put in a seocnd hand homebase 253797 which has been working fine. Today it wouldn't turn on displayed E1 message. I did a "hard" reset, it goes into a boot procedure, the relays click constantly, the fan and compressor kick in for a second, then die and it repeats. I've...

Hi all, first sorry I'm not much of a builder - electrical mostly. Right I'm on a mission to improve my large damp shed on a budget, make it more of a work space without everything rusting over. I have now concreted the floor, and run a french drain. Guttering fixed. Dehumdifier running...

Hello all, forgive me I'm a novice in terms of building. Have a large 5x6m shed. Using it more but very damp (92% just measured apparently). Leading to quick rusting etc. Decided I should look at what options I have. Unfortunately it's not something I can spend thousands on. It's not a premade...

Hi All, needing to stock up on some car tools and thought I should buy a cabinet, not being a pro mechanic I'm needing something alright, but not wanting to spend thousands. I have a halfords trade card. Being the industrial / pro range has gone in favour of advanced, has anyone compared the...

Hi All. Caveat: I am a trained electrician but do not work in the field. Getting advice before I call in my old boss if necessary! Ok, so RCD started tripping on a kitchen power circuit (ring), nothing new has changed. I unplugged and switched off any spurs so should be nothing connected. I...

Hi all, looking for someone to wire in the relays and hot water kit in sussex. Just outside tunbridge wells! Anyone around the area fancy doing it for me... I Can provide pics of the current install if wanted. Many thanks

Hello, draining central heating system for second time (first went fine). Hose to lowest rad, trvs removed so valves should be open. Drain feed stopped spouting water yet one rad is still bleeding through the top valve, I took a bucket from it! This rad also has a drain off valve at bottom which...

Hi all. Never touched plumbing. Simply wanted to fit replace some trv's with some honeywell HR92 trvs. Thought I'd fitted them all right but rads were staying hot. Looking at the pins I cant see its even touching let alone depressing it. I've added some pics, can someone tell me what valve...

Hello. My sister has a slightly weird problem I haven't encountered before, they have no power and the electrician / supplier not come up with anything yet. She has an old style fuse box and fuses, no RCD. Different fuses are blowing intermittently. Washing machine plug fuse blew and a few...
