Ah yes it floating, could nail it down I guess Mike

Hello, I want to put an Engineered floor into bathroom, yet being told its a bad choice.....Why??, it'll sit on top of wooden planks so what the issue Mike

no crafty, theres no second fuse box and its unlikely that there were storage heaters given age of property. Its a mystery to me what they're for, i'll have to trace the wires one day, probably go nowhere. cheers

Just doing some general DIY, had the floorboards up and noticed a single 2.5mm T & E wire going into wall behind radiator. I found that it leads to what looks like a lightswitch, nothing seems to happen when i operate the switch. I've since found another one in another room. Does anyone...

Just removed all paper from bedroom walls, plaster below is very dusty and looks porous with some loose areas. Can walls be patched up and then sealed with PVA coat or is it a strip and re-plaster job. All responses appreciated

Thanks for all the replies, I'm going to ditch my non clutch beast and spend at bit more, Screwfix do some I think. Just a point though, with all the dangers of using one without clutch, why are they allowed, they should be banned.

Thanks for the responses, Ebee, yes I took a known good bulb and that doesn't work I have removed roses but nothing obvious, also found out my tester isn't working so thats not helping. There's a fan in downstairs loo as well, could that cause an issue

I have one of these cheap SDS drills, about 30 quid from Screwfix, its a it of a beastie but I hoped it would suit my occasional needs. My problem came when simple drilling a hole and the drill bit jammed which caused the whole drill to try and spin round, hurt my wrists for days after. Is...

The light doesn't work in the downstairs loo, it used to but not any more, changed bulb but still doesn't work. The light in the utility has also stopped working, thought I may have a fuse tripped but no. Any ideas on what the issue could be

18 BAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :o They can recommend all they like, have order parts and inserts, will do the job, check joints after a while, if they aint leaking thats it, Job Done My system will never see 18 BAR and I'd worry about the integrity of any system that had seen 18 BAR. Anyway...

They dont look right do they and looking at the pics I cant see why your tiler cant do a better job of lining them up with wall tiles, to be honest it doesn't look like he's even attempted to. Tiles on floor can be lifted but he may break a few, but he should replace FOC.

Hi, Just about to order parts for moving rads and redirecting hot and cold water. I'm considering using plastic piping and connectors for out of sight areas, are they good enough long term, will they leak, will fittings connect OK onto existing copper, do they grip OK on copper. Any...

Thanks for that :D Have a meter, will check whats what, need 2 sockets so will extend ring. Its an old house so just needed a little reassurance before starting. Cheers

Hi, just bought a house, I'm looking to extend the ring main but not 100% sure. I have unscrewed the socket in bedroom, there are 3 wires going in, I believe that two are part of the ring main and the other I suspect is powering a fan heater in bathroom. Would I be right in believing I...
