Thanks Andy for reply and fixing my picture! To be honest I don't know how the old fitting was wired. My dad's moving house and wanted to take this fitting with him. The new one must be different otherwise he'd have wired it back up like-for-like. It's the only light in a fairly small...

Hi there, trying to help my dad, he's removed a light fitting and unsure how to wire up new one. Existing wires, a block with 2 black connectors, a block with 2 red connectors and earth wire. The new light fitting has only 2 wires brown and blue. Please see attached pic. Actually hope...

Thing is this guy is kind of a mate of a mate and got a special deal on the other work he did. He did some highly specialized work for mate's rates so when he wanted £100 for this job I wondered if it was more complicated than I thought. I'm happy to pay if its a skilled/qualified job I...

Ah thank you! That looks perfect. Is it fairly simple to install? live, neutral, earth etc? I don't need to do anything fancy do I?

Hi I have 2 control switches with neon like this >> They arranged side by side inside my airing cupboard. One was for Economy7 the other just a manual boost. The Econ7 one never did anything (it lights up but I'm guessing the heating element is damaged in the tank). I've since got...

Thanks John I like the idea of using masking tape to get a good line of silicon, good idea that. One thing I forgot to mention, I still need to paint the bathroom ceiling with bathroom paint (at the moment its just emulsion). With that in mind do you think its best to paint the ceiling and...

Where are the pictures? Have to look, thought the bloke who did my tiles was the worst ever. Edit: oops... seen the pics in another thread, wow that's bad, clearly beats my job, poor lady.

Hi My "professional bathroom guy" has "finished" the job. Unfortunately he's left a few gaps in the grout at the top of the wall where it meets the ceiling. There's 2 tiles above the door where there's no grout at all at the top edge of the tile. Please see images >>...

Thanks! Do you have to dilute it and/or leave it to soak in?

Had a bit of a disaster yesterday... My bathroom guy accidently used my wall tiles to tile the floor. We managed to get the tiles up intact but the back of the tiles are caked in fast setting white flex adhesive. I need to salvage these tiles as without them I'm not sure I have enough to...

To make it crystal clear.. is the following diagram correct? http://imgur.com/aLwQkjF

Excellent, thank you so much for your help chaps! I'm pretty clear what I need to do now. So it's neutral not negative... Got it! The new ikea light does indeed have the terminals clearly labelled, I had no problems installing the first light. I thought when confronted with extra box on...

Hi My lounge lights, one switch controls 2 separate lights. First light had the simple positive, neg and earth arrangement, I installed a new Ikea light there and it works fine, I went to do the second light and wow... Please see the picture>> http://imgur.com/qOVbxT5 There's 2 white...
