Inspection chamber is less than ideal so I’ll avoid if I can, but I’ll certainly now look for swept bends instead of putting in an elbow, this makes a lot of sense thinking about it.

Some great advice on both your points l, thank you I’ll see what I can do with that

Should have mentioned it’s semi structural as it’ll need to house a 6 ton water filled spa. Having a go like this worries me.

So, this so my first concrete experience so I’m truly new to all of this. I have probably done this at the wrong time of year, but I’d like to try and find a way around it if that’s at all possible. I have dug a hole aprox 4 x 2.8 meters and hit a gutter pipe drainage on the way which I’m...

Thanks to both of you I got this working quite quickly, appreciate you taking the time

Thank you both! I’ll try that shortly and see where I get.

Just picked up a Lightwave smart switch (3 way), I’m trying to replace an existing 4 way switch with a 3 way smart switch with dimming. I plan to have one of the switches control 2 sets of existing lights hence 3. I have attached a few pictures to explain below. The smart switch has a single...

Its the one photo I don't have. It's a rental property that's coming to an end - so I'm back there in a couple weeks to sort this all out. (planning ahead at the moment) Took one other close up though, although everyone know now what it looks like. I'll follow up with some photos once I've...

Yep - fitted by a professional. He did manage this all in one day (a stupidly long one) including a power flush, but it's done now. More a matter of how I get rid of the mess. You've all been helpful though. I just need to smash together a box. I might move the junction box and the transmitter...

I'm hoping reliability wins here at the end of the day.

@blightymam, Thanks. That's quite a good idea. Both the junction box and the wireless transmitter are in really odd places. Just makes it a bit of an eye sore.

Sorry all - I've put this in the wrong forum by browsing around.
