Legs are straight Under corble has a shape to it

Hi, 3rd post here and just hoping for a little guidance, not sure if this is posted on the right section though. I have just purchased a plaster fire surround (not everyone is a fan I know) and I have overlooked requesting the measurement of the rebate. When the surround is against the wall...

Thanks BAS

Thanks Rocky but already done now, straight forward enough, thank you

Swapped it over no probs. Wrote the numbers on masking tape at the ends of the wires to make it idiot proof. All works fine, just got to turn the upstrairs switch 180 degrees so it operates the correct way around (OCD again!) Thank you very much for your guidance!:-D

Thank you DetlefSchmitz, just wanted to make sure.

Hi, just to be clear, when Sparwright says A1, A2 ans A3, mine are labelled A, A1 and A2. Does my A on the switch become A1 on his list? And my A1 become his A2 etc? Thanks again

Okay thank you. You are right, I do not know much about electrics but thought I had given the info needed using a basic test meter, but obviously wrong. I would never take on a larger job as i do not have the knowledge but thought this could be fairly straight forward. Will continue know and let...

Hi ban-all-sheds, just about to swap the wires over, are you saying DO NOT go ahead if I have given incorrect information? Thanks

Haha, glad I'm not the only one, although I have only lived here 1 year. Probably take me a few months to remember it is swapped over haha.

Thanks Flameport. My mistake. I could not find a live there, but maybe if other switches were in certain positions (upstairs) it would become live. Hopefully it will be a straightforward swap over whilst obviously taking care. Thank you

Yes, good point DetlefSchmitz, thank you for your advice

Perfect! Thank you so much Sparkwright. I will start tomorrow morning and turn the fusebox off all together. I may put small labels on each wire if I can get in. Will let you know how I get on tomorrow. Thanks again Sparkwright :-)

Hi All I am hoping someone can assist in an OCD matter haha. It is a hallway 2 gang switch but would like the switching swapped from side to side.. The left switch operates the downstairs light, and the right switch operates the upstairs light, but it should be the other way around. They both...

Hi, just to let you have an update. As you said Terry, no good with the original pump, I think the cleanser and water had got to the printed circuit so it had to be replaced. I wanted to use a model without the electrical cover at the front, just in case the pipe blockage was causing the...
