Sorry I meant it should be in the gable end, under the ridge Two air bricks. one at each end. and soffit vents I dont know... thats why Im asking.

Thanks Ken, Ill look in to this. I assume I can get them in the same length as my ridge tiles and just swap them out?

Hello, I have recently bought a new house and on the building report I have been recommended to install an air brick in the loft under the eaves, to allow warm air to vent out. Additionally they have recommended installation of soffit vents but that is an aside. Reading up on this U understand...

Hi All sorry for the delayed response. I have got this all wired in and working perfectly. Thanks for the input/advice. Top stuff as always! :)

Afternoon all, Just after a quick sanity check on what I am proposing before I start. my landing and stairwell is L shaped and I currently have one ceiling rose hung on the right angle of the L. There are switches top and bottom and it is wired up using the attached method. I am want to replace...

Ill take some over the weekend and upload. Ta

What are MIs? It was already installed when we moved in 4 years ago.

Evening all, I am looking to replace the mantle and surround around our gas fireplace. I want to build an oak surround and mantle to match the doors and other woodwork. I have had a google but cant find any guidance on what treatments are required (if any) to make it fire retardant, or what...

Hi Guys thanks for the input so far. So today I have basically disconnected all the plug sockets on the upstairs ring, labelled the sockets in the back box and and labelled each cable, then used my cable tracer to to map out all the cables. The original layout is below. I have now...

Thanks for the input guys. Deadshort - The fuse box is outside and I have hung up my tools for the night. I will check the rating tomorrow. JohnW2 - The "actual", original ring that goes back to the CU comes in from the 2 sockets in Bedroom 2. ie the original ring was BBSO1 - BASO1 -...

I believe it's 32 Amp MCB. what do you mean Qasi-ring. I havent mapped the rest of the house yet so not sure of the path back to CU

Also, Any tips for pulling new cable through suspended beam floor? Im thinking crimp new cable on to the end of the old one then pull the old cable out which will pull the new cable through?

So I have spent the afternoon with a cable tracer (tone generator and probe) to work out what is connected to what and how it is wired and it is not good. It appears as though the ring comes in from Bedroom B to socket BASO1 and then goes back through the wall to Bedroom B. At somepoint in...

hi guys, I am hoping you can help me out here. I am currently redecorating our house room by room and am on to my second room now. the first one was slow but no major issues. I am starting our main bedroom and planning on relocating some existing plug sockets. I have just taken the...

Thanks for all the input on this. I thought I would post a reply as it seems to have been sorted. I had plumber out last week to look at this and he "adjusted" the diverter valve which seemed to help as the boiler was firing up when the hot water was put on. Whilst the water was warm it...

Hi there, I am having some problems with my heating/hot water as follows. We have a Worcester Bosch CDi Combi Boiler. Problem 1. When I get in the shower I turn the mixer valve (not thermostatic) fully round to hot but only get luke warm water coming through. I can resolve this by turning...

Pic of cu and main feed. Require would mean recabling whole house. I can simply remove spurs and add additional sockets to existing ring. To fix current issues. I will need to move some sockets as part of the decorating which currently I can't do because I don't have an rcd in the cu.

So I was doing a bit more reading on this last night to work out what would be the best solution. I have 5 circuits in CU (upstairs/downstairs lights/sockets and cooker), and I dont believe that I cn put a single RCD between the feed and the CU as that doesn't comply with regs. swapping out the...

I think I can install a fused RCD like this next to the internal socket then install the external socket on the outside wall after the RCD. the RCD can be used to isolate the external socket. Would this comply?

Have just check and they are plug in circuit breakers like this.
