    Can you use antiviral spray on light switches?

    is it safe to spray an antiviral spray on light switches? How can I disinfect light switches safely in general? For instance, if I do so with the switch turned off will this be safer an if so, how long should I wait before turning the light back on after applying a disinfectant of some kind? Thanks.

    How can I add a backbox and a blanking plate onto expanding foam?

    Hi, Keeping it short here, I had a bottomless hole which I filled in with expanding foam with no issues. However, under that foam is some wires I wish to add a backbox and cover that with a blanking plate (So, it will act as a wire junction box) but how can I insert a backbox into foam? I have had two ideas 1, cut a hole and glue the backbox into it or 2, remove the foam and start again but this time was holding the backbox in place as I foam around it. Thanks!

    Cooker Hood and motor replacement

    Hi, I have a kitchen cooker hood and motor that needs replacing as the motor is about 10+ years old now and has stopped working. My question is do I need an electrician to do the job? It would be a straight swap, I'd need the person to find a new cooker hood and motor. The issue is there are tiles all around the original cooker hood. When our existing one was installed we had tiles placed around it and now my family don't want to remove the tiles but need a cooker hood that can fit within them. Would this be possible to do?
