I'm trying to find a shower head and arm for my existing, exposed system. The current shower head is too close to the wall and you can't shower without standing on the sloped part of the bath. I want to install a shower arm to bring the head away from the wall and further into the bath...

I've been asked by a friend to adjust one of his ring mains. It's an outbuilding with it's own old Wylex CU with a 30a rewireable fuse. Currently he has 6 single sockets in one room with the ring going up into the attic supplying 6 double sockets. The attic ones are not in use and are...

I have a terrace house with single floor extension out back with a bathroom, small utility closet and back door within it (I'm sure most of you know the type -- typical 2 up 2 down). The bathroom has no ventilation other than a window and the utility has none. The shower is on the wall...

I moved into a mid terrace a few months ago and recently ventured into the loft. It's a right mess. It looks like a building site. I assume it's all junk left up here from the builders when they put walls up between the houses in the loftspace? There is tons of rubble and it's very very sooty...

I'm just starting up and I'm trying to get hold of some of the engineer visit pads that duplicate (NCR Pads?). I've found a company that prints them but I'm really not interested in having a custom design, I just want ones with the usual basics. Work done, equipment used, etc. Does anyone...

Last night the boiler in our recently acquired house starting making quite a lot of clicking noise, even when no hot water was being pulled. I put it onto hot water only setting and went off to bed. This morning I woke to the smell of electric boards not being happy and the sound of...

I've just bought a house that I suspect was rewired approx 3 years ago. I've checked the cabling behind sockets and light switches and it's all thick, grey shielded cabling -- which I've been told is at least semi-modern. My issue starts with the fusebox. It's an old Wylex one, with 6...

I've just moved into my first house and there is a small untily cupboard that allows a dryer or a washing machine. Is it possible to stack these on one another? If so, I assume the washing machine should go on the bottom, due to the spin cycle....any advice would be great!
