That’s interesting. The flips I have used get stuck as they must expand a bit with heat transfer. Click clacks never seem to work and pop up controls are not an option with every tap. Go for it and report back😁 we have just started an en suite refurbishment due to a hidden leak

Inline fan above roof space as per first result from a search: https://www.google.co.uk/url?q=https://www.airconcentre.co.uk/products/manrose-mf150t-150mm-in-line-mixed-flow-extractor-fan-with-timer&sa=U&ved=2ahUKEwiXm-Ga1dOCAxWT7LsIHf2ZAPwQFnoECAMQAg&usg=AOvVaw3jeug-YSOlsDboWTPt9cjH The fan above is very well regarded and most good outlets sell it. Been around for years. John mentions a dmev unit which I am looking at myself. These run continuously at slow speed (low noise)and boost up either switched or by the humidity sensor so not like your “normal” bathroom fan. Apologies if you already know this. I am having issues with condensation in our bathroom so dmev is one step to help address this. My existing ICON wall fan is not shifting enough air and leaving damp towels to dry doesn’t help.

Looks good and “shows off “anything grown in front of it. Is it actually black and not a dark brown? I struggled to find a black fence treatment. I have a couple of tubs of a creosote alternative which is dark brown and not the advertised black. Not had much luck with bedec barn paint on fencing?

Mine are all screwed into upvc soffit👍 May have gotten lucky and hit a timber with at least one screw. I had to drill something like a 30mm hole for the cables and balm connectors which is enough to feed a wooden packer through for your screws to fasten into. Or, what about plasplug hollow fixings or caravan cavity fixings?

It’s not just plumbing merchants, the electrical merchants have the same issues. I am having stuff delivered from online sources at cheaper prices than my local branches can themselves purchase. Car parts and tyres have been like this for yonks. Big suppliers sending in from Germany and delivering quickly.

What Russell said. If your unit is tight up against a wall,the handle might prevent full opening and you won’t be able to run tiles up to the unit either.

Try the cutter you linked. The one Miek linked also looks good but expensive like he said. Twist or jobber drill could do you an injury by throwing you around the drill! Apologies if you have skills👍 I wouldn’t fancy a Starret holesaw tbh, just seem to blunt very quickly. However, I drill Unistrut regularly and these fly through and seem to last: https://www.cef.co.uk/catalogue/products/4335977-18mm-sheet-steel-holesaw Not ideal for a 7mm web but with cutting fluid and taking it easy,I wouldn’t think twice about using this method. I sold a 240v mag drill the other year on a well known auction site. Had no interest for weeks until a self builder offered me £40. He was drilling beams.

The thing I have noticed with gravel beds on membrane is that it does not guarantee weed free. "stuff" accumulates in the gravel and it doesnt take much for weeds to start growing in the gravel. You cant win Gutters too. That hedgehog gutter brush is excellent for growing weeds🤥

Apologies if your an experienced hand but if like me you have have no previous experience of using this stuff,take note, It doesn’t self level😀 I assumed it would act like water and flow to a perfect level and leave me a nice flat and level surface.Wrong. Second attempt involved wearing spiked shoes a spiked roller and a fit helper to mix up whilst I spread. I had batons screwed around the perimeter as guides to level out the slope. dont ask about bubbles gasses off. Think the last stuff I used was Mapei and definitely came from Screwfix. I ordered moe than needed just in case and Screwfix have no problem with accepting returns👍 Other brands are available from other outlets too.

Exact problem happens to me on one of our factories! I don’t think I have kept any photographs however, the layout of the drain is very, very similar. About every six months I have to get the drain blasted as it doesn’t take much for stuff to hang on the lip and build up. On ours, the fall is very slight and the ground is susceptible to movement. Still not much of lip though but it’s obviously enough. Also, it’s a ladies toilet block in a factory so it sees a lot of “traffic”!!! Why do they use so much toilet roll??😀 Only happens on one of the flexi joints so maybe more of fall/lack of issue.

For heavy items I tend to go back to the gripit range. Over kill for some applications but they work well. Yellow and red sit flush and use a regular scew

I’m fed up mounting screens on walls. Might be worth having an idea of model as even sticking to the same brand, connection points can vary. Some are bottom entry only and it can get difficult hiding cables from view. One screen we did had the power and hdmi pointing straight out of the back which required an ugly gap from the wall even using angled connectors. The pull out/ fold away brackets we have used all have unwanted lateral movement which becomes obvious with the heavier screens. It soon drives you mad when the screen is always wonky. Depending on your budget and brand preference and if your interested in AV tech. John Lewis and Richer sounds are respected sources for decent stuff. Smart tv’s, set top boxes instead of fire sticks are popular so a hardwired internet connection would be good. Sat cable from dish? Always a good idea to buy last years recommended models. Still good a year later, just a bit cheaper. Pick one with as many hdmi ports as possible. I never wanted a sound bar in my own home as I wanted a clean look. However, I quickly conceded Once the the tv was powered up.

We use these: https://www.toolstation.com/everbuild-one-strike-ready-mixed-filler/p20822: available in lots of good outlets at reasonable price. Easy to use, quick to dry, easy to sand, paints over well, doesnt shrink/crack and can be used to fill deep in one go. Or use a cheap flexi car body filler

My own cctv is HIKVISION which is really good and works well day and night with remote viewing. They also have a wireless alarm system which can be intergrated. I only learnt about the Hik alarm after installing the visonic. All depends on budget but some of the lads have built their own home systems using “cheap as chips” stuff and their pictures and recordings are really good. For our commercial sites we are having Hanwha cctv stuff installed which will integrate with our video access control and existing alarm. Not cheap but rail and government sites will no longer accept Hik (Chinese). I am not an expect on this stuff by the way. Do you have any local electrical wholesalers? I use Yesss electrical and they have their own specialist wh9 does quotes and recommendations. They are agents for HIKVISION and sell Visonic. Worth using their knowledge. A big negative with Visonic is the lack of support. If your not a registered installer then they won’t assist. I picked the Visonic because it tick the most boxes for me. The cctv was specified by my pros but installed DIY - not difficult. Oh, batteries lasted three years. My system lets you know which battery and when it needs replacing including any remote fobs. Cheap enough so I just replace them all as a set. My garage is detached and the wireless sensor is on its own partition so can be set/unset independent lay and communicates no problem. Sorry if this is disjointed but doing a few things at once and this is on an ipad😄

My alarm/security contractor only install wireless systems for domestic clients now. Easy install and decent systems are reliable.Echo what the two previous posters have said. I fitted a Visonic wireless system for my home as it ticked the most boxes for us. what about cctv in the future or smart/cam door bells? Some are compatible with alarm systems.
