What I’m going to do is just put the earth into a connector block then obviously that then has to go into a choc box which I will then place into the ceiling. So on these choc boxes they have clamps which the white sleeve goes under, on mine I won’t have any white sleeve it will just be the...

Would it really matter if the two live & neutral wires just went through the long black sleeve without any sleeving around them as they are already going into sleeving (the long black one).

Ok maybe I’m just overthinking this but I guess when I pull those wires out of the ceiling further they will all be in a white sleeving. I need to obviously separate the earth from this which means cutting a bit of that outer white sleeving on the earth side for it to be able to separate from...

This is a video of an installation of the exact same light I am fitting. As you can see he has taken off the long black sleeve & the earth is still inside the casing? Can it not just be done like that?

Yes same symbol there.

I’m replacing a ceiling light with this Alani one. I’ve removed the old one & this is the wiring that it had. Am I right in thinking I take off that connector block & connect the neutral & live into that little white box & do the wires have to go through that long black sleeve? Also as the new...

Here’s the valve if it helps to work out which version it is.

No I know how to install shower mixers but I’ve only ever seen it with copper pipes coming out the wall this has flexi pipes which I haven’t seen before so was unsure how it was connected to the actual mixer.

It’s one of the old Bristan Colonial mixers & I’m replacing it with another similar mixer. This is how the current mixer is connected so how do I go about replacing this with a new one? Do I just loosen off the nuts to remove & then should the new one be able to connect with these pipes?

Been asked to replace this shower mixer so apologies if the photos don’t show much as this is all I’ve been sent. I know the connections are flex pipes & I’ve only ever replaced ones with copper pipes coming out of the wall, so is it just the same as undoing those nuts & taking off & what type...

The flush is very weak so what exactly do I need to replace just the diaphragm?

I need to change this toilet syphon which I’m aware that I will need to remove the cistern to replace. I believe this may be a Thomas Dudley syphon & some of these can be taken apart & replaced without removing the whole cistern. Does anyone recognise this one or know whether I can take it apart...

I’m replacing a siphon on a non close coupled toilet & the new washer that goes inside the cistern has a ribbed side & a smooth side, which way round should this go?

I’m fitting a new float valve but it was too short to reach the water connection so I’m attaching a 1/2 inch tap extension onto it. This red washer came with the tap extension, the black rubber one is the one that was there before (where I’ve put the red one on the pipe coming out of the wall...

What size bolts do I use on a concrete repair spur?

Not sure why it's blocking the link but it's just the 70x70 steel post support from B&Q. Yes the floor is already constructed.

What fixings/size should I use for a steel post support into a concrete floor to secure a fence post?

Can anyone recommend which combi boiler to go for, it is a 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom property which will be a rental so I'm not looking to go for anything too expensive. I'm currently looking at the Worcester Bosch Greenstar 2000 25kw but obviously the Worcester Bosch have the aluminium heat...

I'm going to lay some vinyl flooring in a bathroom which I have boarded with ply, is double sided tape the way to go & do I just need to put it around the edges only?
