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!

Why is my shower cutting out all the time?
Is my shower cutting out because of water pressure in the house? It seems to happen more frequently when someone else uses a tap or flushes the toilet, which makes me think it could be that rather than a fault with the shower unit. But it even happens when I'm the only one in the house. This isn't even an old unit, installed around a year ago (mira)

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?
Why does my shower keep tripping?
