Hey Guys, I have an internal soil pipe from an upstairs loo boxed off in what I want to be a new dining room. I want to open up the dining room too and put an extension on but the soil pipe would sit right bang in the middle. Is it an easy enough job for a plumber to take out the internal...

hey all, I removed a plastic cooker faceplate today (it had no neon) and I replaced it with a brushed steel one (with neon light). The oven works fine since I am stumped. As far as I am aware the I got the feed and supply right.

We have lived in a new build for 18 months now. Yesterday, I received a call saying there had been some sort of mess up and they need to come in, add another plaster board to a wall and then plaster over. The wall in question is in the main bedroom. It is going to take them 4 days to complete...

I have been living in a new build for a year now, built by one of the largest UK house builders. I took a call today from the site manager who I have been dealing with for the last 12 months, the jist of what he said is: 'There has been a change in building regs and an insulation company are...

Well it's 25k more than the average house price in the north west which is where I live. I also wouldnt class having a shower which works while a toilet is flushed as 'luxury'.

Hi Guys, I have recently moved into a three storey brand new house. The top floor has an electric shower and when someone is using it, nobody can use any of the toilets or sometimes even turn on a tap because it means our electric shower will flash up 'low water pressure' and basically shut...

Are they not long enough to fit directly to the light? If not, is there not room for the connectors in the light fitting? Theres is no room in the light, the back of it goes straight along the wall, see pic attached. It is a really fiddly light fitting, it's driving me crazy and as per the...

Just had a quick look, still seem a bit long, more than 80mm in length. I would have thought that this kind of box would be pretty standard, what do other people use in my situation, where they are fitting a flush fitting with little room behind for cable boxes?

I am currently installing some new uplighters in the bedroom. The uplighters go flush to the wall. I have 2 sets of twin cable coming from the wall that I need to go into 1, then into the light. I can just use terminal blocks which are small enough to put inside the wall, but I was thinking...

Yes, there is another light on the same switch at the other side of the room. Yes I took a picture before removing the old install, it had a terminal block with both live, and a block with both neutral. I think you have both prompted me to answer my own question! Thanks. Will get a more...

Both cables just went into 1 light. You have made me think now, to put both lives in the same block and both neutrals in the same block? Is this right? Then the 2 earths in the same block.

I have recently moved into a new build and I am fitting uplighters. I have removed the original light fitting and now I am just left with 2 cables coming out the wall. The trouble is the cable isnt quite long enough. I only need 1 of the cables, so can I put insulation tape on the uneeded...
