Cool, thank you, I'll try that

No worries, cheers

Thats the trouble I've got. Its not a standard BT phone line - Its from the fibre company, direct from the FTTP box. The extension works if i connect it up using standard terminal blocks into a RJ11 to BT socket adaptor. I just need to know which wall socket and wiring to use :)

If anyone can help it would be REALLY appreciated.... Just had FTTP installed. The Fibre box has 4 ethernet RJ45 ports and one live RJ11 phone port which works fine with my home phone plugged into this port. I need to utilise my existing phone wiring around the house, so have joined into the...

Yes, thanks again. I know what you mean, but the cold goes somewhere under the floorboards! I've sorted the upstairs system out and will be lining it up with the downstairs balanced cold. I'll have to ask my plumber what the other cold is for when he second fixes. Thanks again, you've...

Many thanks for that-the only thing that has confused me is I have a hot, cold, balanced cold and 'blue plastic'mains water inlet pipe. Does this make sense?

Hi guys, Can someone can help me out-I'm doing up a property-the whole place is being re plumbed. The plumber has put in the downstairs c/h circuit and water pipes. For the water circuit there is a balanced cold pipe, a cold pipe and a hot pipe. He's now away for a month so I've done the...

Thanks Jeds, really good explanation. What I'm trying to get my head round though is if there was no ventilation at all (which there is with trickle vents etc) what would happen? So to elaborate further, if my proposed ventilation is inadequate what's the worse that could happen. Also when...

Thanks for your thoughts, Thats my only worry 'adequate ventilation' Like I said there is no heat recovery - don't want to splash out x thoushands as budget is getting hammered. I've voiced my concens with the architectural tecnologist and he says its fine, but I'm trying to get me head...

Currently doing a timber frame bungalow conversion - the whole of the upstairs has been knocked down and timber frame erected with full fill rafter insulation and rockwool in the walls. With hardiboard on the outside and slates on the roof. Question is - the spec says vapour control layer...

I've not yet tested it to see if it is a ring, if it was a spur off a spur what would the implications be just to supply a 60 watt outside light?

Cheers for all the advice guys. I've done it and it works ok. Must admit I will read up on testing circuits etc - Bet you sparkys hate us bodgers!!!

Good point, I totally get where you are coming from, and now feel a bit of a numpty! Just a slight variation on your proposed - I want to get rid of the double socket, so if I connected the 2, 2.5mm cables straight into the load of the fsu would this still be ok. Cheers for the advice by the way

Yes, it is part of the ring
