    Please find attached an image of the fuse box for reference. The cables connected to the socket are 2.5mm in size. I have not had any electrical work carried out recently; the only activity was some painting and decorating, which took place approximately a year and a half ago. The circuit...

    RCD Tripping – Fault Traced to One Socket, Still Trips with Replacement

    I believe it may be a radial circuit protected by a 32-amp RCD. I say this because the electrics were rewired in 2015, which is when the extension was built. The extension appears to be using the same circuit as well.

    RCD Tripping – Fault Traced to One Socket, Still Trips with Replacement

    I'm having an issue with an RCD that keeps tripping as soon as I attempt to turn it back on. I've already unplugged all appliances from the affected circuit, but the RCD still trips immediately. To isolate the fault, I disconnected each socket on the circuit one by one and managed to trace the...

    Advice on installing panel slats against a wall that has a gradient (rear extension wall with a pitched ceiling)

    I understand that in order to draw the angle on the slat widths and to cut, I would need to draw a horizontal line on the wall, starting at the spot with the lowest gradient. From there, I could figure out the vertical length and use a straight-edge saw on the actual slats themselves. *The...

    Advice on installing panel slats against a wall that has a gradient (rear extension wall with a pitched ceiling)

    I was also thinking of using a protector to work out the angle. which would remain consistent across the 60cm widths of the panels.

    Damp showing in Chimney breast

    The source of the water was coming from the side of the wall, where you can see the rotten part of the joists. This was caused by the groundworks outside being higher than the level of the external wall DPC. I excavated the ground to around 70cm deep, poured in some concrete to below 30cm of...

    Damp showing in Chimney breast

    I dug out a picture (excuse the pun), of when the joists were repaired near the chimney, this was at a point when there was still wallpaper on the walls. However, looking at the image closely, I do not see any tide marks.
