No, it's the only door suitable to lighten the dark part of the hall passage

No, i forgot to mention it's a bathroom

Our hallway is not well lit & i want to put a 350X850mm glass panel above a door to let light in. The wall is brick & although it's a bungalow the wall goes up into the loft where it tapers off & acts as an intermediary support for a roofing timber. What's the best way to cut out the hole...

yes there is a pull cord switch on the unit itself, 3 settings for heat, light or both. However if the unit is not connected to the lighting circuit it won't operate from the pull cord by the bathroom door & you would need to walk to the centre of the room to put on the light.

problem then is that the light pull cord by the door won't turn on the light without some rewiring to the switch

My Fathers old circular heatnNlight fitting has failed, I bought a new one to replace it but find the original one has the light wired to the lighting circuit but the circular heat element is wired to a separate power circuit wire. The new fitting is 750 watts & only has one connector...

Does it need some kind of primer such as PVA applied first or is it better to mix some in with the cement/sand mix?

The slabs outside our patio door are old weathered dirty grey & some with large gaps between them, they were laid long ago by some incompetent DIY'er We've scraped out all the weeds & filled the gaps with mortar mix so that alone has made a huge difference but we wonder if it's possible to...

We live in Redditch, Worc's, just typed Warmfront ripoff in google & the internet is awash with similar complaints inc some who've been asked to pay £4,000 + !

Well, we got the letter today saying that in addition to the £2700 grant we have to pay another £1967.98 making a total of £4,496.83. for the work. This breaks down as labour £3,729.78 materials £758 two levels of VAT @ 5% & 15% making the total. Are they insane or what? this is a...

The fact is that only self employed doctors can earn anywhere near that, take a look at the NHS payscale for doctors , surgeons etc http://www.payscale.com/research/UK/People_with_Jobs_as_Physicians_%2F_Doctors/Salary

How come plumbers can can earn more than someone who spent six years training to be a doctor at medical school ?

When we moved in years ago the boiler & roof were already there, there was a plasterboarded section above the boiler which we removed when we renewed the Coralux roofing to let in more light as our bathroom window is nearby, if this was replaced would that then be o.k.? there is a frostat on...

It's a floor standing boiler against the wall of the house with vertical flue , Do the rules apply to the type of roof covering used or what ,surely it could be fitted with wall hanging vertical flue? passageway leads to my workshop & garage, if there is nowhere else feasible then what else...

Warm front have told us we can have a new boiler but altho the old one has worked perfectly well in the veranda for 22 years we are told it's no longer permissible to fit in conservatories or similar outbuildings. We live in a bungalow & there is simply nowhere else the surveyor man could...
