How about using a 40cm and a 30 cm unit clamped together, that's what I did for my B & Q kitchen.

He has moved address and his website is gone. I cannot find him anywhere. We have made contact with a solicitor and intend of going to small claims. If you have no knowledge of his whereabouts, how will you get recompense? You will be wasting more money.....

Snap, I type rather slowly, whist watching the Traitors....

Yes, Cinder Blocks, made from power station waste/ash. Last house, all internal walls made from these blocks. Tips, use longer and larger wall plugs than usual, I always used brown plugs. Drill a smaller pilot hole first, then the second drill to the required size, do not use hammer action...

Hi, have you tried pushing a dress-makers pin alongside the wire as it enters the switch, then pull/wiggle the wire out of the switch. It might release the springy steel strip holding the wire. Then repeat on the other wire To insert a new wire just push it into the now vacant hole.

If the tube glows orange at the ends, the tube has reached the end of its life. Could be that a new starter is required - swap the starter from the working fitting, if the tube now springs into life shows that the removed starter has died. But best to replace the tube with a new one, will...
