Hi all, I have taken up some tiles and ply from a chipboard floor to prepare for new ply and amtico. By where the sink was there has Obviously been a leak over the years which Has made the chipboard like a sponge! I am going to cut this out with a circular saw set to the depth of the boards and...

Hi all, Was hoping to get some advice on a project I am undertaking whilst I have the time. I have a detached garage that I am planing on converting to 3 separate rooms (two home offices, and storage room) I want it all to be insulated as best as possible and will be adding some IR electric...

Thanks + VAT?

Good Morning all, I was hoping for a directional Idea of cost (within 20%) of a double storey extension that we are thinking of adding to a house that we are interested in buying (or if our plan is even feasible) I am sure you get this all the time, and I know sometimes it is a ‘how long is...

Hi, thanks for the reply. What about 10mm pea shingle? only asking as it is a third of the price. Thanks

Any ideas on this, thinking of starting soon so want to know if I should ditch this method or persevere. I have come to the conclusion the gravel is the best option, but my main worry is if this will affect the drainage on the part the will be over a patio? Drainage is fine at the moment so...

Hi, I am planning on installing 30 sqm of decking in a few weeks and have been offered a relatively good price for some deck tiles (similar to this http://www.decking-tiles.co.uk/?gclid=COqpiqadua8CFQdb3wodTzd-jQ) The ground where these are going isn’t particularly even and there is a 10 cm...

Yes - there are two seperate circuits, and I do have a multimeter. I don't know where it joins but may be able to get some floorborads up to check

Unfortunately though it is not easy as that as re-running a wire from downstairs to upstairs isn't possible. (not without a major mess anyway) so I am happy to have a single upstairs switch as a compromise.

Hi, yes this would be better than nothing, and in the future I will connect a remote switch so we can switch it from downstairs. Judging by the previous posts though I am worried that their is not sufficient wiring in the to do this safely, which wires would now be obsolete, and I assume I need...

OK - all points taken - I was more worried about getting the top switch working which it did but the bottom was left as it was. I'll disconnect the top one again now.

All fixed now - looks like someone had unsuccessfully played around with it before - I have re-wired as per the diagram and all is working - thanks for your help!

Hi, yes - I left the earth out of the equation but they are there. Also I think the green wire is a sleeve. I have attached 4 pictures, pictures one and two show the downstairs switch - this is a three gang switch but the one I am interested in is the one on the left. Pictures...

All, I need some help with a switch issue that I have. It is my hall light and hasn't worked since I moved in. It is a two way switch, one downstairs, and one up. The configuration is as follows: Switch 1 - Ground Floor - Green wire in L1, red Wire in common. Switch 2 - disconnected but...

Hi, Thanks for the reply - forgot to say though it is a semi-detached house so this wouldn’t be possible would it?

Hi, I have just had the survey back on a house I am buying - one of the comments was that the chimney breast had been removed upstairs but the remaining breast in the loft wasn’t adequately supported. I would like to rectify this shortly after we move in but was hoping for some advice. We are...
