Watch out that the new plaster doesnt strip mositure from the adhesive too fast - your tiles wont be properly fixed in that situation...

Hire the right tool for the job at 20-30 quid, cut the skirting, crack on... leave enough clearance and fill the eventual small gap with slicone. Id not grout up to skirting, which is wood and expands and contracts...

ericmark, thanks for taking time to reply :) I am materials/mechanical engineer by training, I work in medical devices these days, but im not totally unskilled at electronics, its just "not my thing" . Reading back over the posts over the last few years, some of the things pasted in 2018 made a...

OK so here is the next update, seems it is possible to still get power to upstairs, but im not sure I can write down the conditions.... dont ask. However, with a bit more poking about, and reading the older comments over and over, looking at the diagrams, wiring etc.. it became apparent to me...

Ive had a quote to replace lead which is between the house and a flat fibreglass roof (which is also a fairly large balcony area). The original lead, I am told, was installed wrong, as it wasnt split in to sections to allow thermal expansion and contraction, so it has split. It also seems to...

Evidence of Liquid exiting an electrical actuator seems like we might have a leak in that valve body somewhere?

Assuming everyone can see what I did..

On what I think is diverter or three way valve :
