Dan - I just google pressure reducing valve and yes, that's the one. Is it urgent? Is it likely to cause issues over the weekend? Thank you

Hi guys, I've had a very embarrassing afternoon after actually creating a mountain from a molehill in my new build property! Basically my wife said she'd noticed water dribbling out of a 'black 2 inch bit of plastic' found just under the pressure guage, under the kitchen sink. So I took took...

Thanks for the reply. To be honest the option of not using the same tile as the roof was simply down to the fact I wasn't overly confident using heavier tiles and I thought cutting them might be a bit of a pain, that was all really. I want to do this myself but only if I can do a decent job if it.

Hi all, I've just finished preparing and fixing a wooden canopy porch to the front of my house. It's got a fully boarded roof which is ready to be finished. I want to use tapco (or similar) lightweight slate effect tiles. I'm pretty capable with woodwork but I've never done any roofing or...

Thanks for the reply, so I need to: 1) connect the existing L1 wire to the new L1 2) connect the two brown wires currently in L2 both into the new ~(with an arrow through it) 3) Remove the earth (yellow/green) from the block and connect to the earth on the dimmer 4) Leave the neutral...

Hi all, My first post here so be gentle! I've fitted dimmers before no problem but ive just moved into a new build and bought a dimmer from B and Q. When i took a look, the connections have confused me. There appears to be too many wires in the box? The dimmer is for a room which has 2...
