Thank you for your response - it's amazing how many different responses you get the more people you talk to - yet on here the suggestion is pretty unanimous which kind of tells you immediately which way to go ;) Thank you :)

Thank you all for your responses. I do like the idea of the plasterboard behind the wall and fill as you like, so I decided to go with that - and I was recommended Bartoline Ready Mixed Lightweight Filler to go into the holes to enable painting directly onto them with no need for sanding...

I thought about the original cutouts, finding an adhesive to stick them in and then fill to get rid of cracks, but when I went to clean up his dusty mess, he either took them with him (but left everything else) or dropped them down the wall!!!! So I am onto the next idea, which would be...

Thanks for the quick reply. There is one hole about 2 inches by 2 inches. And another the same size, which also has a straight line coming off it to a plug socket which is about 2 inches long. Behind the first, all I can see is the cable which has been run down the inside of the wall...

Hi all, probably a very easy question and I thank you in advance for any reply. Basically, have bought a new build property and just had the satellite dish installed, and to do that the engineer has made 2 holes in the perfect new wall in order to run a second cable not allowed for by the...

Yes it is a 3A fuse Going to check the transformer later thanks guys :)

Only been in 3 months, how would I check if it was the transformer?

Hi all Another silly question! We have got some under cupboard halogen lights in our kitchen and they both suddenly flicked off tonight, They are powered by a 3A fuse (well that's what the old one was!) and the bulbs are 20W 12V. Have tried changing the bulbs and tried chaning the fuse but...

Fair point. Would I just need to get an electrician in to do the wiring or would it be a plumber then? <<< Another daft question :(

Although reading up on this...we could get the wireless one, therefore meaning we would just connect the receiver to the boiler? And remove the old room thermostat? Does that sound right....

Because I wouldn't know where to start and don't even start me on heights!

Yes it does include a new digital aerial (aren't these only around £30 anyway?). Thanks for pointing out it would be an electrician :) Would they be happy to not have to do the kitchen seeing as it is brand new?

So in the 'on' would you just turn the control round a certain amount of the way and leave it as that and it would only 'sound as on' when the timer told it to be on? Sorry don't really understand the tecchy bit and how it works as at the mo it only makes noise when we turn it 'on' obviously...

And would this control the full heating system? Would this just be a straight swap for the existing thermostat? Also....(sorry this is a really stupid question!)....does the boiler remain at the "off" position on the control on it once we get a timer fitted? PS: Thanks for the speedy reply :D

Hi everyone, a couple of quick questions for you :) 1) At the moment, all we have in our house is a cable running straight from the aerial, through the wall, into the back of the TV, no aerial socket as such. We want to have 2 new aerial sockets put into 2 of the bedrooms. We have been quoted...
