Fitting an outside tap

I am about to fit an outside garden tap, which will obviously involve drilling through the wall. The house is a fairly new timber frame type, which will have a 'membrane' between the outside stonework and the inside plaster board. Is there any problem breaking through this membrane, or is there some...

Bathroom heated towel rail.

Looking to fit an electric heated towel rail in the bathroom. The element wiring will go through the plasterboard wall, to connect to a fused socket in the hallway. Do you just push the wire through a hole in the plasterboard, or is there something a bit 'neater'? Something which looks a bit like a ...

Cable Gromit?

Thanks for that htg. Some good tips which I will use when I fit this.

If I do this, will dampness get through the hole in the membrane?
Cheers

outside garden tap

I want to fit an outside garden tap as shown here m However, the house is 4 years old, wood framed, and I believe will have a 'waterproof lining' between the outside brickwork and the inner wooden walls. If I drill through this waterproof lining, will damp get through the wall? If so, are there any ...

Thanks Rosebury....it is a constant drip, and the handles did come off. Decided I would have to use 'brute force', (of which plenty was required), but they did eventually come off, by pulling them straight up. I took the cartridge out, cleaned it and put it back in. It still drips. There was no iden...
