Morning all. Moved into a new place and slowly sorting bits out. The seals on the bifolds have perished and looking to replace. They are a foam filled seal which I can I think I’ve identified as Schlegel QL9112 Aquamac Seal Black 15m. However I’m wondering if I could just use a normal bubble...

Well. This is embarrassing. Not quite sure how I added an extra wire.

Thanks both. I was planning on tidying up the previous cables a bit as it’s not he neatest.

Hello all. My partner has recently moved into a new place and it has a Glow Worm Essential 28c combo boiler with a Salus RT500RF wireless thermostat attached. I would like to upgrade to a Hive thermostat (single channel for combi) for easier programming/Alexa linking etc. Below is a picture...

I'll run it all past site on Monday. It's kind of expected to run into these issues on new builds, and was expecting some snags. But I have been genuinely surprised at the lack of any care shown. At least on my development.

It's an apartment, so will have to pop outside tomorrow when it's light to have a look, but it looks like it is.

Sorry, I should have been clearer. That's the pipework underneath the combi-boiler/hob. I'll gently remind the developers to connect things/tidy things up.

Thanks for the reply. So socket just needs tidying up and fixed somewhere. Stupid question, so yellow handle is water pipe rather than gas? What would be the thinking behind leaving a cable just loose like that? Should it be terminated somehow?

Hello everyone. Just slowly in the process of moving into a new build from Charles Church (yeah I know), and apart from the comedy snags like taps wired up back to front, dishwasher waste not hooked up etc I just noticed these two issues under the worktops. Not being in anyway electrically...

@sparkwright As long as it works in any capacity, I will be happy. Cheers both for the help.

Cheers for reply, Andy. So L1/L2 are interchangeable? Or will it be the case the switch will not operate correctly, if they are the wrong way round?

Somehow I got roped into spending my Friday evening painting my Mum's kitchen. In the process of doing so I was thinking about replacing the light switch as it looks pretty manky on the freshly painted wall. Also, it would be nice to fit a wide rocker switch, as my Mum has arthritis, and should...

Thanks for setting me straight. I had the feeling I was wrong, hence checking first. I will probably run a separate length of green/yellow wire from the earth terminal to the light fitting, as should be able to salvage some from one of the myriad of extension lead cables I have laying about...

This is my first post, so hello first of all 8) The reason I signed up is that my Mum asked if I could swap over some old tatty plastic spotlights for some fancy metal ones. On removing the old lights, it seems whoever installed it incorporated the old rose fitting, and wired the spots...
