Thanks for the confirmation

Its the switch on the far left

It says NSB16 on the switch, to the right is a 80A RCD. I'm presuming this means the NSB16 is RCD protected is that right?

Thanks, understood :)

Hi, I'm re doing the bathroom and need to wire up mirror light/shaver socket/fan. I have one now redundant cable that ran a fan heater, its on its own 16A RCD. I'd like to use a connector block to wire these together so I can easily isolate all bathroom electrics (live to live, neutral to...

Thanks level it is :)

Hi, I’m about to install a new toilet and make a new hole in the wall. I can’t figure out if the new hole should be completely level with the toilet pan waste, or slightly lower to create a gradient. When pushed against the wall the toilet waste connection is 25cm from the wall, the wall...

Sounds good thanks for the tips

Hi, I’ve taken the bathroom wall back to brick and was looking at fixing tile backer boards. Been looking at the rigid polystyrene boards such as wedi, prowarm etc presume they are all pretty much the same? Can’t seem to find instructions on fixing to a solid wall. Can anyone advise do I...

Ian you star! thats exactly what I've done what an idiot!:oops: I may even be able to get this sorted before the missus gets back and nobody be any the wiser :) Cheers

Hi, So it seems I’ve really messed things up :( I had the pipes to the bathroom taps running along the wall so I decided to move them under the floorboards tidying things up. I turn the boiler back on and now I only have cold water coming out both taps. Heating is fine. If i leave the hot tap...

Layout is the same as in the pic except the sink will go opposite the toilet (ours is a little wider than the pic bathroom)

The cleaning is a fair point but we have the shower in the bath at the moment so it won't be any worse than now. Due to the shape of the bathroom (no spare corners) this is the only way we can have a walk in shower with seperate bath. Access would be impossible once done which is a big concern...

If extra cleaning is the only drawback I'll go ahead...its the missis that does the bathroom :)

Hi, The missis found this pic online <sigh> and so I'm now considering the possibility of a wetroom type shower right next to the bath. Biggest concern would be water getting through the side of the bath. I was thinking waterproof tile backer board pushed under the lip of the bath and also the...

Must admit never heard of copper stub outs before, google not much help either o_O

2 X 22mm pipes and 2 X 15mm for the the boiler to be installed in loft. Unfortunately they will have to be copper as they will be less than 1m from the boiler when they come out the top of the wall. Your method does make the most sense causing the least amount of disturbance to the rest of the...

No its horrible. I was hoping there was some tried and tested method/tool for the job. The vacuum attachements on the plunge saws look hopeful but maybe I should bite the bullet and go at it with the lump hammer :confused:

I make full use of return policies but usually only when tools fail to live up to the advertising, can't bring myself to return truely handy tools ;)

That is all true but I'd then have to take the whole wall of lathe and plaster out. Its the clean up that scares me. Room is currently a bedroom trying to keep disruption to a minimum
