Cool, thanks guys, looks like were going to have take the landing floor up then :(. Thanks for the reply's.

Hi I have new rangemaster 90 dual fuel oven to install into our kitchen as part of the renovation. I am going to get an electrician to install it as part of the lighting rewire, I am just trying to gage the extent of the wiring needed. Can a 45A dp cooker switch be wired into a spur from the...

Hi thanks for the post. Yes, currently is a standard hallway light with a single on off switch. The instructions for the PIR say.. "The unit is suitable for connection to a 220 - 240v supply. It is suggested that a 3-core round flexiable cable 1mm gauge is used. An internal switch should...

Thank you, so if I place the PIR next to the existing rose, and take the black sleeved wire out and put it into the live on the PIR, take the brown from the wire that drops down to the bulb and put that in the live out and add a new bit of wire from the netural on the PIR and add that into the...

Good morning, Just after a bit of advice on wiring a PIR onto my hallway light. I got this http://www.screwfix.com/p/lap-360-ceiling-standalone-surface-mounted-pir/80538 Seemed straight forward enough, then opened the light fitting. All the lights are on a loop. Could someone please let...

Yes, that is another problem with home automation things, if they go wrong there are a nightmare to fix it you dont know the setup. I have wall sockets with timer cut offs (to control when the kids watch TV :P), PIR to swicth lights on/off, timers on the washing machine all controlled via a...

Indeed, originally I looked at a DMX solution, but that was way expensive, On the face of it thought I could take the live feed from the pendant into the first relay, loop the live through the relays and have a bit of wire from each relay into the spot. Is it an old house so im going to pull...

Fantastic, I will have a look around. She originally wanted them to switch on with PIR, I have used LightWaveRF products and PIR around the kids rooms to acheive this and the landing upstairs, but their stuff is expensive. So if I want to install 5 of these, would it be as simple as taking...

Hi all, Before I ask, I don't intend to do this work myself (unless its doesn't involve anything that requires certifying). Just trying to find out if possible and what I will need to purchase. We have a long hallway in our house. My wife would like downlighters in the ceiling which when...

Brilliant, thank you

Hi, I am putting up a stud wall for a new onsuite bathroom. The top and bottom will be secured to existing joists and the sides will be screwed into the brick work of the existing room. Can I just screw through the backing and skim plaster on the existing wall to secure these, or is it...

Thank you all again for your advice, heres an update for anyone else who has the same problem .... As mentioned I tried various ways to get the cross handle off, I used WD40, heating it with a blow torch, but maybe it was when I started hammering it harder it actually came off. I put a G...

Thank you all for you replies I will have a go over the weekend and report back with either a headless tap or a broken bath. Thanks again Craig

Thank you for your response, I will give that a go in the morning as the children are in bed now. The screw has been missing since we moved in, but ill trying giving it a tap and see if the handle part comes off, allowing me to remove some other parts. Thank you. Craig

Many thanks for the quick reply, is it just a case a trying to get the top off with a knife or something, I just tried and it doesnt want to move? Kind regards Craig
