Could anyone tell me please what adhesive I could use other than Altro's own to stick Altro Walkway 20 to plywood (in a campervan), preferably one that doesn't require trowelling as I'm not sure my skills are that good

Yes, it's 240v, I'd just wondered if they'd be different with arctic. Thanks

Hi guys. I'm running some arctic cable inside a campervan for a 10A load over 5m through conduit inside insulation where in summer the temperatures could obviously increase. The calculators for normal T&E suggest that 1.5mm2 would be fine but not sure if this would be different for arctic cable...

That's the best one I've got until tomorrow. It's a Victorian stone sill

DSC_1075 by pcsparky posted 6 Oct 2017 at 4:02 PM Not sure if you can see in image well enough. The rear wall on the house we've bought is in very poor shape. I believe it has been caused by years of water dribbling from the bottom of the sill backwards on to the bricks. I've stimulated it with...

Thanks guys

Thanks John, I'll contact them tomorrow to see if it's suitable

Yes John, I was just hoping to find an identical switch so that I could simply wire it the same way. It's the rocker switch that's faulty. When it's off the wall it works acceptably but when the rear is obviously pressed against all those wires inside it's not 'rocking' properly.

It does already have an isolator switch already above the door. It was installed when the property was built 7 years ago by Strata Homes' electrician

This is what i currently have that I need to replace DSC_0896 by pcsparky posted 14 Aug 2017 at 12:43 PMDSC_0897 by pcsparky posted 14 Aug 2017 at 12:43 PMDSC_0898 by pcsparky posted 14 Aug 2017 at 12:43 PM

Sorry, predictive text inserted motherboard! I'll try to upload photos tomorrow

I need to replace the switch for our bathroom as the switch is faulty but I've never seen one like it before. It is a combined FCU for the fan & lightswitch. Any suggestions where I can buy one please?

Yes, I have read quite a few scare stories. It was the surveyor's report though that got me researching. It stated: .... certain repairs and/or improvements, which do not affect mortgageability, are required. The underside of the roof covering and roof frame is concealed by sprayed foam. This...

We are quite far down the line in buying a small terraced house as a buy-to-let, where the cost of a new roof (in Barnsley) is estimated to cost around £3000. It currently has a 13 year old roof that appears in very good condition externally. The house is being bought for £72k. However, the...
