Thanks Prenticeboy, like in the attached picture?

I don't have any testing equipment at all I'm afraid. Attached are some pics of how it looked (I think the red wire is in the original correct position, and the jumper wire shown has definitely not moved). Sorry for the quality of the pics. Thanks Alex

thanks ringing out?

I should point out first of all that I have looked through the Wiki for this forum, but just can't seem to find the answer. Whilst decorating, have taken a light switch off the wall. Unfortunately, a couple of the wires have dislodged, and I can't work out how to wire everything up again...

Hello, hope someone could give me some advice please. I am having my lounge re-decorated which involves the walls being re-skimmed and painted. I had the decorator in to give me a quote. His plan was to paint over the plaster with a matt white emulsion, then finish off with two coats of our...

I am in the process of re-decorating my living room. My plan is to have one "feature wall" clad in wallpaper. The rest of the walls stripped back to plaster, then skimmed and painted. It's my job to strip off all the wallpaper and paint, and go back to plaster. Then the plasterer comes in...

Hi All Wonder if you could help me please. We recently removed a couple of large wardrobes from our bedroom (exterior) wall. Property is a bungalow. The pictures are from the worst affected side of the room. The wardrobe back was up against the exterior wall (furthest right wall), the side...

no, semi detached bungalow, on separating wall Alex

i know....can't believe i missed that! :) i suggested condensation but he ruled that out for the reason you mentioned.....

yes he does this as a matter of course, using analyser

LOL! Sorry, brain not switched on there.... Funny....

no, gas

That's exactly what my engineer said, no combustion problems he could see and had it been an alu heat exchanger he would have understood, but not on a cast iron HE.....

terminal....you mean the top of the chimney? around 15-18ft excuse my ignorance....

Boiler is approximately 25 years old I believe. Last serviced in February 2011. Engineer hadn't seen anything like this before (and he's been in business for around 30 years). Only thing he could think of was that if the flue/boiler surround was galvanised there may be a chemical reaction...

Hi We have a Baxi Bermuda 401 back boiler, has been running fine for years, but pilot light went out at the end of last week and I couldn't relight it. So called in the Corgi engineer today. He took off the fire at the front, and diagnosed the problem immediately, the pilot was clogged. Not...

cheers let me know if this isn't clear enough and i'll borrow a digital camera. No white fibres as far as I can see. i can flex this board quite easily if that's any clue. Alex

Sorry for the bad pics Woody, taken quickly with my mobile phone. The 2-3mm refers to the patterned board at the front. The plaster? board behind is about 12mm thick. The plaster? between the paper crumbles very easily where it's been cut. Alex

Right folks, an update. Rather than going in at the light switch, I removed a intra-room vent above a doorway as this would give me a better idea. Sure enough, I now have the following pic. The hatched pattern looks to be part of a laminated board (only around 2-3mm thick overall, and behind...

Hi Woody Although it looks embossed, the surface is absolutely smooth. I will take out a light switch and check as you suggest. Alex
