Based on this I reckon I should stick to anchors for fixing the bulldog fixing to floor then.

This is an anchor matey. Rawl is just a manufacturer that do all kinds.

Morning all, I'm putting in a Newel post for a staircase and its a concrete floor. I've bought a bulldog fixing as shown where the post will be recessed for it to locate in the bottom. Fixing this bulldog to the concrete floor I automatically thought to use anchors as have always had success...

SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I went to B&Q and when inspecting the quality of the plaster board a corner piece just came off in my hand. I decided to not buy the plaster board based on this evidence. I did clear the mess up from the floor but as there was no bin I disposed of it after leaving the premises...

Cheers. Anything else I can use instead of plasterboard. Its not cost but I hate waste and buying a full plasterboard for just a 50 x 80mm shape I'd be throwing over 90% of it away is all.

Everyone thinking it's nothing to worry about though. Yeah?

Hi all. I've moved a light switch and done the bonding coat along the channel after sinking in the twin and earth etc. I have a end part which is around 80 by 50mm which is just a void with nothing such as lathes for the bonding coat to adhere too. Does anyone know if I can fill it with...

I think it's mains running to main fuse box

Ah right. Its the first time I've come across it in a property is all and looked strange to me

Morning all, I've removed a door and frame splitting a hallway in two. This has revealed the supply for the light switch running vertically as normal but it is behind a cable that is running horizontally. Is this acceptable? Its an old sand stone terrace property. Both cables are insulated but...

Hi Terry, Took your advice and used Yorkshire elbows. Did both sides. They are over the moon with it. I'm a bit of a perfectionist and couldn't leave it looking non symetrical haha. Going to to do another room for them the next weekend I'm free. Thanks for posting. It helped me get clarity

You have not read the original post fully have you.

Hi, There is no issue with the distance from wall to the pipe. I checked and it's pretty central. Yeah was thinking one of those flexis per side. They are only £6 each on Screwfix so wouldn't break the bank. The alternative is to elbow out from each supply and use 15mm copper pipe bent in a...

Hi Terry, I'm thinking of adding a compression elbow onto that supply replacing the valve. Then adding something like the attached photo of a flexible pipe running back to the radiator straight into a new valve going into the radiator. Would you think that is ok to do?

Hi oldbuffer. Thanks for replying. The old radiators are not here and must have been binned on removal. If they were I would have connected them back in for now. The photo is all there is. I am willing to buy new valves for them if there is anything on the market that is shorter than the...

Hi all, With winter on the horizon I'm helping the elderly couple next door. They were dropped in it by a cowboy. They have no radiators fitted but have ones already bought. They were either selected incorrectly or their flow/returns are at old distances. Basically the inlets are nearly...

Really? I did search but nothing appeared to be on the subject.

Wondering what everyone's thoughts are on the attached photo? I'm looking at doing up my loft space at some point and came across this spraying of expanding foam. I always thought best to use the foam sheets with a air gap between its back and the actual roof then board over but is this...

Thanks for that confirmation Terry.
