Hi all, hoping this is the best forum for my question. I have this ‘step’ on a concrete path that runs between my house and garage, and I don’t have a clue what it could be for. Any ideas? Thanks! Pavement step1 by onionsa posted 7 May 2018 at 5:01 PM Pavement step2 by onionsa posted 7 May...

Ok, we'll air on the side of caution in this respect and see if we can find some vents that dont look aweful lol Thanks very much for your help!

Yeah that seems like more than we're wanting to do. So we must have a vent in the existing chimney mouth in the lounge, but can brick up the rest, right?

When you say fully remove from the top down, what would this require? At the moment we basically just have a hole running through our house with a pot on the top and a tiled hole in the lounge.

Hi all, just wanting to get a firm answer on whether or not you can completely seal an unused Chimney? We're looking to take the fire place down and turn the wall into just a normal wall, but I see many posts about vent blocks. Many thanks, Anthony

My guess would be that was put on when the pipework was changed.

Thanks for all the replies. I too think this is old heating of some sort as it is tracing the same route. Initially I couldn't see if the pipe came from the ceiling or wall at the top but having taken the picture and zoomed in, I'm confident that it is coming from the ceiling. When I get the...

I've just stuck my phone back in there with the torch to see if I could get a pic of where the pipe leads to/from up top and it looks like it traces the heating pipes route. The house is a 70's build, is this how they used to do things back then? IMG_5038 by onionsa posted 21 Dec 2017 at 5:14 PM

No thats the right pipe, but they're kinks in the copper(?) pipe. Its about an inch in diameter to give you a scale.

This one isn't insulated. I'm wondering if it could have been the original boiler location or something like that. We've always had the combi in the loft since we lived here. Puzzling to say the least this one!!

The wall is an interior wall between our house and the neighbours, and it is their hallway on the other side of the wall. The heating pipes can be seen in the bottom of the first picture just about. I should have included them more for clarity. I could get access to that part of the floor...

I was just having a nose in a large pipe box which I assumed only had 2 heating pipes in for a radiator that I'm planning on moving, and to my horror I find a large pipe lurking in the darkness. It looks the size of other gas pipes that I have located around the house but I can't for the life of...

John, thanks so much for taking the time to put that together. I had the top diagram in mind, but it is good to recieve confirmation that I was on the right lines and that there is also option 2 if space is tight in the rose terminals.

I'll look at running a second T+E and a junction box as first choice. In my mind this will keep it simple and separate. What size T+E would I be looking at for this 1.0 or 1.5?

There is a normal ceiling rose in there at the moment, and switch plate next to the door. What I'd like to do is put in a 2 gang switch plate for neatness so that they can be controlled separately.

I picked up a pack of 10 the other day and was surprised at how small they are. Fitting 3 in shouldn't be a problem at all.

Thanks for the info, so it seems I’m good to just carry on from the ceiling rose. I’m guessing I could just use a junction box to act as a ceiling rose to split off to the switch and drivers?

Ok so just gave the wife the choice and she’d like them to be able to be on by themselves like the ‘feature’ mentioned above. It will be LEDs I’m sure. So would I be looking to join this to the existing light circuit with a junction box like a spur and fit a second switch/FCU and the get the...

Hi all, just after some advice on how to approach this part of a project. I'm planning a G-shape kitchen with wall units on 3 of the 4 walls and would like to install under cupboard lighting. What recommendations could you give in terms of wiring layout for this? Many thanks.

Noted... :LOL::LOL:
