Hiya Chippys Got a set of MDF victorian doors by Johnson who have now gone bump. The two main panels are glazed. I need to split one door down to make a bifold as bath is too near door. As its a bathroom no gap can be had down centre so should i split it then rout out a rebate or use a...

Cheers for replys Think ill stick with the single ones thanks. Ami right in thinking any make module should fit in the faceplates? If main coulour is right wont be so bad with different white in the middle. Cheers

Hello Sparkies Working on a refurb and house has been rewired and MK faceplates used for sockets and tv aerial. Owner wants data cable to each room and sited alongside socks and aerial. Problem is MK don't appear to do a faceplate for rj45 data so need another make . Anyone know of a make...

Hiya Looking for a used pump or impeller for a whirlpool APDW/2. replacement part no is 481236158434. Its an Askoll manufactured pump. due to silly price for this its not worth getting one new and might as well get a new dishwasher unless someone has one lying round. Only need the...

on the £40 Cu It was installed by a sparks and i now have the money for the rest of the loan as the bank approved the work. As this will be rented out i insist that they have RCD protection and rewired so i have lost out how exactly??????

Well why dont the mods close this forum and just have Electrics UK - get an electrician! Ive re-wired at least 5 houses before part P came and always got someone to check it. That someone being a wiring inspector for what was Norweb. Never found a fault other than id missed a grommet or 2...

Cheers. The retention means the morgtage co will only release 75% of loan until they have recieved all reports and any work reqired done. I have to stump up the other 25% till then so I can start work. This was the norm 20 years ago for older houses and they have started doing it again. SO I...

Hiya fellas Just bought a house and need a report on electrics for retention. No earth bonding and old wired cu with no rcd. I think this is why it was pulled up and retention held. Can't afford a full rewire till got money back off retention 25k. Ridiculous. Before getting a...
