We have heat and CO alarms in all rooms with combustion appliances in (Aico). During this part of the year we do find the humidistat controlled extract fan in the en-suite comes on overnight if we don't close the door, however, we do sleep with a Velux and one main widow slightly open in the...

If you need a 1/2" router then the Hikoki M12VE is very good, but do have a look at the Draper Expert, good enough that I bought another to dedicate to my Leigh Jig, the three lights in the bottom plate was a bonus.

-1 for the Triton and it's dedicated table, the power lock on the router is a pain to unlock under the table and the table is a design disaster, to change the height of the cutter you have to move the fence, very poorly designed IMO, sold mine on, the Charnwood spindle moulder look good, or even...

I was using my 30M one yesterday, still the best tape I have. Just had a look and mine is an Abone Chesterman, must be over fifty years old now.

How do they get over the under 100mm gap legislation?

I can only assume you have a halogen hob and not the less expensive to run induction hob, reason its less expensive is efficiency so on for less time, but in the end everything will be electricity powered whether we have the infrastructure or not. 😱

Just fitted a new induction hob and it has no provision for clamps, just a silicone mastic seal between the hob and worktop, difficult to believe, but induction hobs have better control than gas.

Have a look at this thread with my home made overhead extractor: Axminster TS250-2 modifications.

The only thing I have found that works on slugs is a G&T and a torch in the dead of night, pick them up and drown them.

If as you say the manhole covers to the 300mm drain downstream from you where popping off then no matter what you do your end will not resolve the problem downstream and you will still get flooding at your end, this needs a concerted writing effort to Thames Water, copies to your MP the EA and...

Contact the "Environmental Agency" if you are not getting anywhere with the Water Company, it does sound as though it's their problem and a hazard to your health.

Teach me to look more closely at the date of the threads. 🥴

On your 5th second hand lathe does not sound like a recommendation?

Well if no one else is going to say it, I will, it's a **** up from the start the plumber or whoever, did not use the mega brain cells they had and procured the wrong toilet for that space, it needs ripping out and replacing with a back to the wall pan and concealed cistern in the paneling...

You could probably make that toilet comply for under £200 at the moment its a broom cupboard, that's an idea, take out the pan, block up the waste pipe and store brooms in the space, no cost.

Public place, does the building have disabled access, if so that toilet will never comply, bite the bullet and pull that inappropriate close coupled toilet out and fit a back to the wall pan with concealed cistern in the box behind.

"but means the stuff goes through it slower initially giving the bacteria more time to chew on things." Doesn't work like that as the tank is always full, 5lts in 5lts out.

The top hat metal covering on cables would still give way to a drill bit, these coverings was commonly used to help prevent being damaged by the plasterer with the edge of their trowel when the plaster was slapped on, the 50mm depth rule was changed with the advent of RCD/RCBO's as Spectric said...

Can you fit a compact cistern in the casing behind the bowl and move the bowl back.

Just thought, P&O electricians may need an explanation, they are someone who read this book on the way over to France: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Electricity-your-French-house-techniques-ebook/dp/B005PZ5G3Q which is out of date and incorrect in some place's. Definitive French Electrical book...
