Thanks for the reply mate. Excuse the ignorance. Plumbing is (obviously lol) not my thing.

This is probably a stupid question but can a radiator be installed on it's end as long as the bleed valve is at the top?.

That sounds like a good idea.

Cheers mate. Yes plan is to use original boards. I agree, much nicer than carpet.

Hello everyone, I want to sand and treat the floorboards throughout the downstairs of a mid terraced house but I'm worried about the draughts from under the house. Is it a good idea to lift the boards and put down plywood first so there is no way for draughts to come up through?. Any ideas would...

Cheers TTC, I'll have a good read of that.

I'm in England. Cheers anyway though mate.

All is going well with rewiring my house. I'm really enjoying it,big time. I must admit that I was dreading doing it and if I'd had the money I would have paid someone else to do it. My questions really are. How qualified do you have to be to do domestic installations professionally?. I would...

I'll have a look,cheers mate.

Thanks for the replies. I will definately have ALL circuits tested when I've finished the sockets. I'm only going for three double sockets per room and will keep the lengths between sockets roughly the same. It will be a ring circuit. One thing though,what is part p?

Hi all, I've now rewired my house lights on two circuits. One upstairs and one down. Haven't had it tested (yet), but it's all been connected for a couple of weeks and nothings blown up so I'm taking that as a good sign :lol: . Now I'm going to do the sockets. I do have a few questions...

I'll leave it for the electrician to sort out I think. It does seem ok now but I dont know enough about electrics to do the fault diagnosis thing.

Had a look at the whole thing again. I was using a plug on the circuit,as I said,until the electrician comes to do the consumer unit. The connections on the extension lead I was using were bad (should have checked it before) and the earth had come undone in the plug :oops: . Now I'm using a...

The terminal was really hot,didn't give me a shock but it did burn my finger slightly. The upstairs circuit that I've done is fine. Going to look at the downstairs one this afternoon. I'd be chuffed if I can sort the problem before the electrician comes. I'll post an update later on.

It does have a 5 amp fuse but it's unplugged for now just to be on the safe side. Think I'll have to wait for electrician but thanks for the input everyone.

No I didn't mate. I've got an electrician coming out to inspect it all in about a week but he's away at the moment. The downstairs circuit is only three lights so I've put them on a 13 amp plug just to see if they would work or not. They wont be wired to the consumer unit until the electrician...

Hi all, I've just rewired all of the lights in my house (a 2 up,2 down terrace) using the "loop in system". It's the first electrical project I've done and everything is working fine apart from one thing. The 2 way switching for the upstairs landing light is working fine from upstairs and...
