    Can I branch from 1 electric cable to 3

    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?

    Can I branch from 1 electric cable to 3

    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...

    Should toilet waste pipe have gradient from toilet to wall?

    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...

    How did I manage to break my combi moving the water pipes?

    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...

    Is this wetroom plan even possible? tiling side of bath

    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...

    Is this wetroom plan even possible? tiling side of bath

    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...

    Making neat cuts in lathe and plaster ?

    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...

    Making neat cuts in lathe and plaster ?

    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:

    Making neat cuts in lathe and plaster ?

    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
