    Spotlights dimmer than others

    I've got led spotlights in our kitchen and recently 4 of them come on intermittently but then stay dimmer than the rest. I've tried replacing the bulbs including the adjacent one. When I switch the light on they all come on but the 4 on the right go down to a dimmed state within seconds. They're...

    Damp grout

    The tanking was painted a few mm onto the tray so the moisture must be between the tanking and the tiles. I haven't siliconed it yet as I need to install the shower screens once I've put the tile back on.

    Best thermostatic shower

    I'm reffurbing our bathroom and will be installing a new thermostatic shower which runs off a combi boiler. Previously we had a Grohe shower which has worked brilliantly but is 24 years old. We have great water pressure and was wondering if anyone can recommend a really good shower?

    Lighting for log burner

    Just to update. I managed to get some oven lights in their casings and used wires that are used for ovens. Works really well and effective.

    Radiator pipework when changing from type 21 to 22

    I need to increase the btu for a radiator at my sons house and was thinking of putting a size 22 rather than the existing size 21. Is it just the fins that are doubled up and no other difference ? I'm trying to work out if the pipework needs to be changed as it'll be awkward as they have lvt...

    Staining/waxing wooden furniture

    We have bought a tv cabinet which is called a dark fumed oak colour. I've got a solid oak coffee table that I wanted to keep so wondered if I sand it down, how easy would it be to try and stain/wax it to get a near as possible match? The picture shows the colour I want to achieve. Its a greyish...

    Lighting for log burner

    Does anyone know of any lights that would be suitable to put either above a log burner either side of the flue or recessed into the oak beam approx 50cm away from the top of the stove. I already have a fused spur installed on the side of the chimney breast.

    Confused by log burner hearth regs

    I'm building a chimney breast and hearth with a view to install a log burner. How far out should the hearth come out into the room ? I plan to tile with 300mm tiles and had planned one row of tiles in front of the fire on a concrete base but have read varying posts about the hearth should be...

    Macerator recommendations for single toilet

    Which macerators have people installed and would recommend? Saniflo are the obvious choices but I've seen Grundfos self cleaning ones more resonably priced.

    Studwall partition in garage

    I'm going to seperate the garage to create a utility room and was wondering if a stud wall can be used instead of block work? If so, what depth should the timbers be and what PIR board to use? I've seen Wickes stud work timbers are 89mm but PIR board is either 75mm or 100mm.

    Rangemaster 110 Gas Oven FSD

    My daughter has moved into a house where there is an existing Rangemaster 110 Gas cooker/oven. The bottom left oven lights but stays on a low setting and the flames don't get any bigger. After doing some searching I found it's likely to be a blown FSD or one that isn't sitting in the right...
