oh yes i actually don't need the switch at all. can do USB instead

yeah that looks brilliant. so essentially i need: faceplate https://westbasedirect.com/products/8emr4?_pos=6&_sid=f940d31a3&_ss=r socket https://westbasedirect.com/collections/bg-euro-module/products/emuksw fuse https://westbasedirect.com/collections/bg-euro-module/products/emfusew and switch...

managed to find something like this. this is what you've meant? https://www.retrotouch.co.uk/crystal-fused-spurs-fan-isolators/crystal-ct-switched-fused-spur-with-13a-unswitched-socket-white.html

would the box be the same size? i can't really change much at this stage. i was thinking about single socket and single fused switch but they usually take more space than a double socket

i will do it as last resort. doesn't look that nice

Hi guys Need some advice. I have wall lamps in my bedroom with cables running vertically down to the wall socket below. In order for this to be compliant I need a fused spur. However i can't add any boxes on the wall since i have it covered with panels which I'm not planning to remove. Wall...

hi guys part of my garden is sandwiched between 2 garages (mine and neighbors). The garage wall is part of the partition wall between the properties. I'm planning to dig a pond in this space. I was planning my pond to be circa 2 metres deep. Couple of questions: - how close to the garage can I...

thanks guys. i have a builder coming over on Thursday to discuss. if they can provide guarantee we should be all ok on the warranty

lol yes NHBC. any change to the structure of the house is listed as the reason for insurance to be voided. which is reasonable as they won't take responsibility for the structural damage after any alterations.

hi guys I'm planning to install side doors to my garage. It's a new build and I have 10 years HSBC warranty which in this case will be invalidated. The garage is detached so my assumption is that it will affect the garage warranty only - is that correct? If I use a certified company to install...

thanks guys. thats the plan. as to the extractor fan - already been replaced with the most efficient i was able to find on the market. and it keeps going until humidity level drops down to preset level (60% in my case)

i have an open space plan downstairs and while in keep it relatively warm in the living room, the bedroom should stay cold as i can't sleep in the heat. due to the open-plan layout, all the heat from downstairs travels up super quick and landing is the warmest part of the house (boiler is there...

hi guys I'm planning to remove one of the radiators as it's pretty much useless (upstairs landing). What's the correct way to seal the pipework? Should i blank both pipes, join them together or something else? thanks in advance

not really. those tiles are quite large and I dont think it would look any good. not to mention that media wall have quite thin frame around the TV meaning i would need to chop them alongside which is pain in the butt. tried various cuts and after my futile efforts, I've decided that I will...

hi guys I've started tiling my media wall with stone cladding and hit a brick wall. I need to tile the corners and since the cladding I've bought doesn't offer corner tiles I will need to cut it myself. Normal 45 deg cut won't work as the cladding I have varies in thickness (stone-like effect)...
