First of all, i realise this is an extremely generic query and unlikely to produce a specific answer. My intention is only to see if anyone has experienced something similar or might suggest avenues that i can pursue to investigate the matter further. A short time ago, i instructed some...

Yes, of course you're right. So is it A --> 2 B --> 5

Thanks for all your help. I'll have a go at connecting them directly to the screws later. Sorry if this sounds a bit thick, but what colour wire should i connect to the orange terminal and what colour to the white?

Thanks for the info. So to make clear, what i should do is to remove the old blue/orange cable from this box (which i have circled below) and then connect the BLUE/white & WHITE/blue wires from a new cable which goes to my new socket. Do i connect the wires to the same connections as...

I'd appreciate some help with some work to my main BT telephone connection box. The existing wire coming out of the primary BT connection box to a master socket has been cut, which means i need to wire a new socket to it. I've opened up the main junction box which is connected to the wire...

My building inspector recently visited my house to perform the final completion after my loft conversion. His comments were as follows (plus my queries) - He said i should board the 1st floor landing floor. He didn't specify at the time what thickness of board i should use. Anyone...

One last question. Would the heavy belt sander remove the 'ripple' effect that's causing the stripes? So the floor becomes completely flat?

Thanks for your help. I'm also trying to locate a few pieces of parquet to replace the damaged sections. Each piece is 12" X 3", with a thickness of about 6-7mm. The wood is oak. Can anyone suggest a source for this?

Thanks for confirming what I suspected was the case. I hired the Trio from these chaps, and this is the belt sander they have available; http://www.floorsanderhireuk.com/machine_endlessbelt.htm Would this be sufficient?

Here's a quick photo from my phone.

Hi, I had a go at sanding my parquet floor this weekend. Following recommendations from previous threads, i hired myself a Trio sander and went through the grit levels, 40, 80, 120. The problem is that the entire floor now looks like a zebra. My guess is that where there is a gap between...

Hi, I have a large parquet floor that needs repairing in a few large patches and then sanded and oiled/varnished. Can anyone recommend someone who knows how to do this properly, which from reading other threads appears to be through the use of a HG wax remover and then a Trio sander...

The walls of the bedrooms were part of the job and have already been done. The reason the ceilings were left till later was because there was some work being done in the loft and to prevent the new plaster from cracking, he decided to leave the ceilings for later. Looking at the ceilings...

The areas left to plaster are mainly the ceilings of 4 bedrooms and the 1st and ground floor landings/passageways. Based on the method i described earlier, the surface area that is unplastered accounts for 20% of the entire job. I've also been told that ceilings are harder to do than...

A little while ago, i struck a deal with a local builder to skim every room of a house rennovation. The price agreed was a lump sum for the entire house. Due to personal reasons, he was unable to complete the job through to completion. I'm trying to work out the most accurate way to...

Looking for recommendations for a new boiler that i'll need in the near future. I've decided on a combi system, probably looking at a Valiant boiler. Not sure about the model as yet. The house configuration is as follows; 4 bed terrace. Ground floor: 5 rads, + HW in kitchen and...
