Thanks - they're a great idea, but was doubtful there would be enough slack to fit it. If the switch cable went in the same end as the other 2 it would be much more useful.
True enough. To make a good job the hole would have to be permanently filled back in and the junction box would be inaccessible in future, fine as long as it's fitted as maintenance free. But still a bit of a messy job.
I'm wondering if it might be an option to fit something like this where the...
I'll try to keep it simple - we have a light , it looks like it used to be a ceiling rose, and was replaced with spotlights and the loop-in connections are now all in choc blocks, which fitted inside the light fitting. There's only a small hole in the ceiling for the cables to come through like...
Advice needed please.
I wanted to get a professional to do this for me to save the hassle and make sure it’s done right, but had absolutely zero interest from any local builders so I’m considering doing it myself.
A gas fire was removed leaving a hole in the inner skin roughly 40x80cm. The...
We've got roof valleys with lead base and the mortar has started to crack and crumble. I haven't inspected it so I don't know if any of the lead itself needs to be repaired, but the mortar does.

For the 1st one I thought adding some scrim tape and some sort of filler, maybe same approach for walls...
Thanks for the tips JohnD.
I left for a day last time so pretty sure it was fully defrosted - although water only accumulated in the freezer, not in the tray at the back making me think there is maybe a drain hole that is blocked. Only probably is that I thinks it hidden behind the plastic...
Hi
I have a Bosch fridge freezer - model I think is KGN34X00
Short story is clear ice is building up in freezer. I had one attempt to defrost it (switched off for a day) but didn't cure it. I wanted to remove the plastic panels inside to get to the drain hole but wasn't sure how.
I've...
Hi - hoping someone can help me...
I'm removing the floor tiles in the kitchen with the aim of putting down new ones. It's a concrete floor and the tiles are stuck with a grey hard adhesive but under this is a thin black layer of something before you get to the concrete floor. Any ideas what...
Hi - hoping someone who knows more than me can advise.
In the kitchen on a stud wall there was a fused spur connected to warm air heating system, as far as I know this is on the main socket ring. As it's not used it just has a block connector to maintain the circuit and will have a blank...
