hello everyone, Can anyone tell me what these tiny screws are called and what type of tool i need to remove them! They are inside an electric radiator that has gone wrong and they have sent me the spare part to replace but i cannot get this off. never seen these before!

Hi Everyone, I recently changed my oven element. However, when I tried to reattach it to the back of the oven, the screws wouldn't hold as the holes are now too loose. Please find attached a picture for a better illustration. I tried using bigger screws but it didn't work.Your suggestions are...

Hi all, i'm trying to mount coatracks on the inside of interior doors in my house, it is going badly! The doors are the hollow-ish type,mostly a wooden frame with panels on every surface. But mine are older, more sturdily built versions of this design, heavier than the doors in any new-ish...

Hello all, I'm building a storage shed for my patio and I'm starting by building a base for the floor to screw into. Can anyone recommend the correct sort of screws to use please. They need to be long enough to go through the 70mm joist and into the adjacent wood. I was thinking something like...

I'm in the process of redoing my bathroom. Went to topps tiles and ordered tiles which have now been delivered. Obviously gave no thought to the weight and current plaster condition of wall once I pulled off the current tiles. So here I am now with a shed of hardie Backer boards ready to go up...

I have this packet of anchors that I'd like to use for hanging a towel rail but the included screws are missing. The packet helpfully only says they are included. What kind should I buy to replace them?

I had a Brantia internal washing line for maybe ten years until one day it came crashing down due to the weight demands put on it and it pulled the plug on one side out of the wall with a bit of the wall as well. The hooks on the other side were just fine, but on the other side there is a metal...

Hiya, thank you for reading this :-) I want to take my bannister off to replace it and it's held up, I think, by the screws in the photo which are in twos at intervals along the length of it. I'm only guessing they're screws - could be anything?! I have no clue! Please could someone tell me...

I ordered some countersunk self tapping stainless screws from eBay and for the same identity number, they are thinner than Spax wood screws, hence is there a universal standard for screws or do different manufacturers use a different standard, or is there a different standard for different types...

Hi, I'm constructing a 6ft x 3ft ledge and brace garden gate using 15mm thick tongue and groove boards and 40mm thick ledge and bracing. I've seen a number of youtube clips which show joiners constructing such gates by screwing the boards down from the back of the gate rather than the front for...

Hi everyone. I am trying to fit a tv to the wall and would very much appreciate some help. Upon getting a tv bracket and drilling into what i thought was a solid wall diving our living room and bedroom, the wall isnt a solid wall after all. I have 60mm of some material that is soft, plasteboard...

Hi. We've recently had a loft conversion completed and many aspects of it look a bit iffy. This is likely be the first of many posts so please bear with me (sorry!). One thing which really bothers me is all the popped screws. There are over 60 of them that we can see. The conversion includes 3...

I need to hang a radiator (160cm wide, 50cm high, total weight around 35kg) via two brackets to a plasterboard wall. The wall is external, so that it has studs (about 12mm deep and 50mm wide) behind the plasterboard and then bricks behind the studs. I am lucky enough to have studs in...

I’m going to try to put a tv on the wall but haven’t done any DIY before. It’s an external wall which is brick then plasterboard. I purchased Fischer Duopower 10 x 80s plugs which came with screws. The problem is I don’t have the right length drill bits or nut driver for those screws. I...

Noticed one side of an internal door steel lever rose handle fitment to the door coming slightly loose, after undoing the circular piece I can see whoever fixed it to the door didn't fit all the required screws on one particular side, the two flat headed screws are in, but there are also three...

To help prevent panels dropping later, I was thinking of glueing aquapanels to the stud (additional to screwing & edge glueing panels with proprietary glue). Any thoughts? Panels to be supported on horiz. rail anyway, so just run some Gorilla up the stud before fixing them?

Sorry if this is daft question but what are best screws to use on a treated timber fence? Are galvanised screws ok or should I use stainless. Some people recommend decking screws but these are too long for what I want. The fence will be left natural so I don't want rust streaks appearing down...

Hi, I have lifted the 1930's pine floorboards from my house. I plan to insulate underneath them and then re-lay and sand. Should I: 1. Glue and nail them down 2. Just nail them down 3. Screw and glue 4. Just screw Worried about squeeky floor boards. Any advice would be great. Thanks.

Hi folks, Advice very welcome - I have a heavy mirror that I need to install on my living room chimney breast. 1950's/60's build so assuming plaster on brick? I think...? The mirror is round, 100cm in diameter, is about 20kg and has 2 x sawtooth bracket to hang on screws. See the pics...

Light switch is very flaky, and keeps coming away from the kitchen wall. Not good if you're about to try and sell a property. The 1-gang 35mm deep steel back box has its lugs broken off. Can't see how I could replace it as the gap in the tiles is too small. The left hand screw has a 40mm...
