    Soil pipe down my wall but on neighbour's courtyard

    My understanding is that if you've got only 1 toilet then it mustn't be an electric (edit: aka macerator) one.

    We can all see your email address, it's entirely up to you but you might want to edit your account details to give yourself a Username.

    Light Switch change from L1, L2, L3 to COM, L1, L2.

    Are you saying you've changed from the white to the black? Are you saying that you're only bothered about the switch on the left which is used as a 2-way switch? Final query (from me), are you sure that on the right hand switch that the 2 red wires, which come from outside, haven't been...

    Immersion heater on a plug?

    This (link): https://www.electricpoint.com/hager-sollysta-cooker-control-unit-50a-white-wmcc50.html would use a double backbox but might need a deep one. I'm sure other manufacturers do similar things.

    Widow maker

    Just a possibility, once upon a time there was just 1 "13A" cable and 1 daisy chain cable but 3 lights, so chop daisy chain cable in 2 and use both ends.

    Water Slow to Heat and Poor Pressure - Two Switches in Immersion Heater Cupboard

    Do you mean that when you turn on a hot tap then it takes (best part of) a minute for hot water to appear?

    Gap for Gutters

    It's supposed to keep leaves out of the gutter.

    RCD on Outside Water Proof Socket?

    Apologies for living down to my moniker (again). I believe Eric means 40ms.

    No need for a fly lead on this shaver socket?

    There's no need to buy one just use an offcut of wire (hopefully you've got some lying around) and sleeve it suitably.

    Backwards switch on one side.

    I don't believe that's correct. If I've understood properly then it should be a case of moving the black wire from L1 to L2. But do be very careful as ETAF recommends.

    Extra thick electric front plates?

    The BG 817 spacers are 10mm thick.

    new standards from 1/4/2024

    Just living down to my moniker: I think it was Richard Dimbleby who showed the spaghetti trees (on television).

    Real time electricity usage monitor

    Really? I don’t believe it. My electricity meter only shows complete units (kWh), obviously I dunno if Ihave has a similar one.

    2 gang trailing socket hardwired in place of 2 gang switched socket

    Obviously I'd defer to the professionals here, but would a flex outlet plate such as: https://cpc.farnell.com/click/cca017/outlet-plate-20a/dp/PL10173?MER=sy-me-pd-mi-alte on a 16mm pattress be the slimmest solution?

    Kitchen Island Socket Installation

    As you're in Glamorgan I assume that Welsh rules apply and so it will need certification/notification (whatever the right word is).

    Reduced water consumption

    I assume Madrab meant " should not be an issue".

    Meter reading help

    I really can't agree with that, has there been a typo? Do you mean right (rather than left)?

    street lights and EV charging points

    They're certainly deemed to be big enough around me (near Pimlico tube station), there's one in the lamppost outside and several in the street as a whole. Also I frequently see cars being charged, from a lamppost, in the Chelsea and Battersea areas.

    Concealed Gas flue in listed building

    I believe you'd be better off asking this on the Plumbing and Central Heating forum (regrettably you'd probably need to explain, again, how you got to this query).

    Can I turn down the central heating temperature on combi boiler if I have TRVs?

    Apologies, I've been away from t'internet. Yes they were clear that this is irrespective of any other thermostats (room or TRV), I expect you've got this message from the others well before now.
