Hi, thanks for the links - the works are outside of zone two and the consumer unit is RCD protected. I found this diagram detailing how to wire wall lights up and have followed the instructions but the wall lights will only switch on and off if I have the main light on. Is there any way I...

Wiring diagram

Thanks for your response - it is greatly appreciated. I have removed the plaster from the wall, recessed the brick work and connected the new lights to the existing feed with a block connector, I will cover this with trunking / conduit before I re-plaster. Would this still be notifiable if...

The feed from the main light was already on the wall - it used to power a previous mirror light. I just tapped into it, I didn't create a new feed. The existing light switch is only about a metre away from the wall lights so if possible it would be easier to connect directly into that...

Hi and thanks for the response, I was wondering if that would be the case. The loft is directly above the bathroom and the switch is wall mounted just outside the bathroom. I was wondering if I could just take a feed from the new switch directly to the wall lights -would that be possible?

Hi folks, as above I have fitted two bathroom wall lights on the same feed as the main bathroom light - I would like to be able to control these independently via a two gang switch. Am I right in thinking that i will have to run a new feed from the lights to a new two gang switch - If so...

Hi folks, I am in the process of renewing wall ties and re-pointing on my 1950's brick built semi as there is evidence of a lot of movement in the outer brickwork leaf. I have chased out the mortar which was a mix of very hard, very thin cement on top with very soft almost pure sand...

[/url] Thanks, I will have a look at some in my area.

Yes, I would rather over specify than under.

Thanks, ducting it is then.

Many thanks for the response, I was not aware of the competent person scheme. Will.

Hi folks, I don't currently have a garage but I am in the process of building one. I will be digging a trench to bury armored cable this weekend and just wanted to know what size spec would be recommended? I intend to use the garage as a workshop and will be running a compressor, welder, lights...

What an excellent thread! Well documented and and photographed, informative and logically presented. I am at the start of the process and currently have more questions than answers but I will definitely be using this thread as a point of reference. I don't know what your trade is but I...

Yes I agree, I have thought better of it since my original post. I will be opting for the correct length timber, it was just a thought. Thanks for the responses anyway . Regards,Will. :)
