Thanks JohnW2 By allowed I meant the notifying part. But best to get an electrician in in this case. Thanks

As the title Assuming there is an earth cable in the existing wiring which is needed to fit LED GU10 units, am I allowed to DIY these myself or do I have to get an electrician to come over? It is straightforward enough to swap these, but I have no way of testing the work or the existing...

Thanks, that was my concern as well, prob best to get on with current one and try make it less of an eye sore.

Hi thanks for the reply, Owner wasn't sure but said it's probably been there for 30 years, and google earth says it's been there at least since 2000.

Hi All, We are seriously considering putting an offer to a house which come with an outdoor swimming pool, it currently has a football dugout type see through rigid plastic thing installed as the pool hall so it's not exactly an outdoor pool, it works similar to large greenhouse I think, It feel...

Thanks those above are 5mm and 3mm so guess not suitable? do you mean a thin foam underlay such as below? 2mm thick Diall Acoustic Polyolefin Foam Underlay 20m² | Underlay | Screwfix.com

I'm replacing carpet on my hallway and glue down vinyl on my kitchen with rigid core LVT which is 5mm thick (says suitable for commercial application on the site, not sure how true) Floorboards are regular wood floorboards which I assume won't be dead level when I take the carpet/vinyl off...

Thanks At the moment cables come from floorboard around the corner to the bottom of the socket box and they are in the open, and the new location of the socket will be much closer to where the cables are coming out so all wiring will be hidden by the boxing.

I should add this is in the kitchen

As shown in pictures I will be boxing up pipes from the boiler under the breakfast bar. While I'm at it, it would be tidy if I can move the double electrical socket and the fused spur which power the boiler as shown in the picture, no wires will need extending , wires come from under the...
