Hi thanks for replies. Sorry signal was probably the wrong word to use as I'm just using a volt stick to indicate if a current is present. The fan works independently from the light switch and whilst I was doing all the wiring/testing the bathroom light was on (it's on a separate switch)...

Hi I've just replaced a non timer fan with a timer fan and the timer fan will not come on. Original set up. Wall switch to isolator to fan. The non timer fan only used the brown cable and grey (w/blue sleeve) cable. Earth and black (w/black sleeve) cables present but left redundant - I...

Hi Wall vent is called a vortice, looks 100mm. My plan for both bathroom set ups is as follows from the ceiling: Louvre vent----ducting---extractor---tubing/non return valve/tubing-----ducting----Y connector ---- outside vent.??? Should work. Wiring to sort next :) Cheers S

Hi Sorry a bit long winded but I'll try and explain as best I can. I have a main bathroom next to a ensuite bathroom. Extraction in the main bathroom is via an inline extractor. The ensuite has a wall extractor and it doesn't do a great job. What i'd like to do is to add an inline extractor...

So, even if I do it myself someone has to check it?

OK, cheers I’ll double check the socket. Spoke to the electrician I use and he said it’s ok to go ahead. Thanks S

Hi I need to spur off from a socket in one bedroom through the wall to another. It’s a simple job which I’ve done before but just wanted to know whether or not you actually need to be Part P registered in order not to invalidate house insurance etc. Cheers S

Hi mate Unfortunately, that's not all in. It's what I've calculated fitting to be after paying for the windows. It works out at £826 per window on average to supply and fit. For all the windows there are 44 panes in total and the cost per pane would be £331. (not sure if I should be working it...

Hi Just bought this (Ebay) and just realised its version Feb 2017 but this stuff only has a shelf life of 12 months. Do you think it's still OK to use or has anyone done so? I have talked Ardex technical support who said that for legal reasons they have to say that but that its tested up to 18...

Hi I've had to chop away a section of screeded floor (about 4m x 15cm) to reroute some pipe work and now have to repair it. The thickness of the screed floor varies from 4 to 7 cm. I need the to be floor ready in about 25 days but realise you normally allow 1 day per 1 mm drying time. The final...

Hi I was assuming that the skirting board was level but that seems slightly out. The only way of knowing is when I remove all the laminate and get a level on there. I think I'll go for new skirting as the old stuff has taken lots of knocks over the years. I'll do a moisture test too. Thanks...

Hi I'm removing old laminate floor (currently sitting on black plastic) and will be placing a carpet on the concrete floor. The floor is not level as there is variation from the floor to skirting board of 20-25mm. What would be the best course to take? 1. Prime floor 2. DPM 3. Self levelling...

Hi Yes, I've talked to the builder about putting insulation at the ends and he's doing that. Cheers S

Initially building control wanted a VCL at ceiling level. The builder said this was impractical due to spot lights being fitted etc. They then agreed to use foiled PIR to act as a vapour barrier. The building control guy has been round twice to confirm this after I raised my concerns. All the...

Hi How much to supply and fit an 8 way split load 17th ed fuse board including bonding and 25mm tails? Thanks s

Thanks

Hi Instead of a vapour barrier over the decking is it ok to use foiled backed PIR instead and tape the joins? Cheers S

Thanks, that's pretty spot on my quote. Cheers S

Hi What do you think the approximate build cost is for the following : Single storey extension to back of house. 5x8m. 8 piles down to 8m. Raft floor. Man hole moved 10m and 2 soil pipes move to new drain position. In new extension there are 2 doors, 3.5mx2m and 1.5mx2m. Two windows, 1.5x1m...
