I cant seem to find them all at the moment, but other than that, no issue. I need about 6 of them... they don't seem to hard to find. That's excellent help... i'll let you know if they do the job.

Hi, I'm at the tail end of redecorating my flat, and I have replaced most of the wall plates for power and light switching to new MK Logic plus stuff. The metal wall boxes for the power outlets were fine, but I have noticed that the light switch plates use an old (British Standard?) metal wall...

I have a 30's house with the original hopper and 2.5" (I believe) cast iron waste down pipe servicing the bath and sink waste from the bathroom on the 1st floor. I now need to run two new plastic wastes from the ground floor in to this cast iron down pipe. I either remove the old cast iron...

Hi, I am having a single storey rear extension built with a part flat roof and part pitched. The flat roof extends about 1.75m from the existing rear elevation, and is about 6.2m wide. The roof is falling to one side where there is a run-off to a traditional open gutter. As far as...

I had a search also on DIYN, and yes, I think it will go on the light ring, thanks for your help

Hi All, I am renovating my house, and would like to fit a new wired door bell. I was going to use a wireless one, but most of the bell buttons look like like a 99p fare - and you have to replace the batteries all the time too. -Also If I fit a mains wired one, I can always use a wireless...

Hi I knocked the separate toilet and bathroom in to one room and now plan to re-fit. It's about 2.5m x 2.5m or so, and there is an existing bathroom cupboard in one corner that must stay in place (contains new plumbing and electrics), and there are now two windows there. I took the old...

Yes that makes sense. I will probably go with a standard honeywell programmer and fixed stat, putting the stat in the downstairs hall where there is a rad without a trv... thatnks for the advice

I am renovating my home at the moment and require a central heating programmer and thermostat. I have always has hard wired stats with a standard programmer, but I have been toying with the idea of a wireless one, as I can move it around easily to find the best location for overall home...

Could you recommend a good some/heat alarm for the kitchen, and smoke detectors for the upper and 1st fl landings that are hard wired, and cmmunicate with eachother/ base station? Many thanks

I believe that I will need a hard wired heat/ smoke alarm for my kitchen for regs purposes, the question is, will they allow my wireless ones in the lower and upper landings that pair with my Yale wireless alarm, or do all the smole detectors need to be hard wired? Many thanks

yes, the link was just for an example, there are many of these available - I assume there are the required electrics in the LED bulb housing themselves... so no transformer required, and just the low wattage dimmer then?

I had a quote for the door for over £200 +vat... a white one is £80! Ill try the suggestions, many thanks

I am adding these to various rooms in my home. For example, the link below, rather than the older cluster LED type: http://www.wholesaleledlights.co.uk/gu10-3-led-6w-led-60w-halogen-380-lumens-2-colours-available.html Do these have integrated transformers, or do I need a single...

I have a stainless dishwasher, but the bottom foot or so of the stainless outer door has become stained. What is the best way to clean it/ refinish it. If cleaning fails to work, would it be possible to get it refinished if I took the outer door off. It's a Miele product, so the cost of...

I am currently renovating my house which consists of an extension and then creating a new kitchen. I have heard that I might need a heat alarm in the kitchen. I have a Yale wireless alarm which also has the addition of wireless smoke detectors. If I need to put a heat alarm in the kitchen...

Bought an aerial from aerialsandtv.co.uk - very interesting website, and great advice. They put me in the right direction. Could not recommend them enough. I'll have some more questions though soon!

Simon, thanks for all the advice, very helpful indeed. I had a look at what is available. A lot of places recommend Cat6 for HDMI over Cat5e. They do boxes that connect either 1 or normally 2 Cat6/6 cables to a box that then provides HDMI to your TV. So I suppose the first question is: Why...

do you use a cat 5/6 crossed cable such as when connecting 2 pcs or a regular one?
