Yes you are correct I don't know about lighting circuits, that is why I asked for advice. Advice I would act on if I felt capable or call in help if not. Early replies were very useful but later ones are a bit unfair. "you are dangerously incompetent with your basic techniques." Let...

This was way worse prior to this, and it was under the boards. It was never my intention to leave it like this, but re-assembling safely will still highlight a problem. Rest assured I have isolated these wires and will have them safely re-installed when I discover where it went wrong.

Thanks for the replies, certainly some avenues to explore. To expand on the problem, when changing light fitting, wires were brittle. So I thought I would chop back to flexible cable having labelled everything. On final unravelling, I had at least one more breakage and one that was going to...

Changing a bathroom light has resulted in my lighting fuses blowing. I have checked and rechecked my connections and I believe I've replaced like for like. After replacing the fuse I pulled my overhead light switch, it jammed in the on and blew the fuses again. I suspect I need an electrician...

No picture, the Bath is just about 3" higher sided. Been plonked on the same brick and block as previous bath, around about 5" off ground. waste is at the same angle as before. looking at soil pipe configurations, I think this is solvable by rejigging said soil pipe.

Thanks, my basic knowledge of physics hinted at this. the Plumber is now saying he had to put the bath in at this height, but I can see how changing the soil pipe can allow this, so I just wonder if he wants to do this or not. If not I think I can work it out.

Plumber has left my Bath too high for my wife, despite agreeing height. I can lower the bath easily enough, but the waste pipe into the stack will be going upwards if I do. Plumber is going to be replacing parts of the stack in a couple of weeks and can remedy this, but in the meantime will...
