Thank you for taking the time, really appreciate it and yes I agree, it really needs to get sorted.

The boxes at the bottom are the three switches and the boxes with the 6 circles are the terminal strips

Sorry it's taken a while to post - other emergencies to battle. here is the current wiring:

installed a new porch with 3 downlights and cabled wiring through to the hall way. had an existing 2 gang switch controlling downstairs hall light and upstairs hall lights. both ground floor and 1st floor lights have intermediate switches. have replaced the 2 gang switch with a 3 gang switch...

Agree with you must be safe when trying to isolate the issue however for those of you that come across this and want to save £120 call out on a Sunday evening, this solved it for me: 1. Bleed the radiators (seems like when I was changing the taps/basin air got into the pipes 2. Fill the...

Hi All, I've seen a few posts and videos on f.75 error and I just want to confirm if you think I could simply clean up the pressure sensor, replace it or if it might be the pump? The boiler was switched off whilst I was away from the house and during this time, I had also replaced a basin in...

Thank you, yes it seems like a specialist skill.

I've moved into a house with parque flooring which has seen better days. See attached photos. As a temporary solution, I'm looking to restore this to a darker shade such as rosewood or rich mahogany. I tried sanding the floor and then applying an oil wax but this just made it sticky and hasn't...

Figured it out, it's the pump - took it out, cleaned up a bit and now less noisy, still needs replacing. Thanks and hopefully this will help others.

This is a bit odd, the tumble dryer makes a screeching noise only on the startup for 30secs https://photos.app.goo.gl/Y3VJCoQc843on8qc9 In the video the screeching only starts after 30seconds and and then lasts for 30seconds. If it was a motor/bearing/pulley then I would expect the noise to...

thaks for your help. The RSJ in the through lounge cannot be seen - only on the photos I took. I'm not too concerned with the chimeny breasts as I know they can be seen in the loft and structural surveyor confirmed all ok. Will they issue a cert? I read somewhere they might not issue one...

hmm, the issue will be for example, the LA coming and asking for all of the plaster work to be taken off to see the RSJ or the concrete lintel - it could also take more than 3 months to get it all tick boxed off

Thanks, that was my preferred option - will find out soon whether the buyer will be satisfied with this.

Hi All - some advice for a first time seller! I did some renovations in 2015 (6 x chimney breasts removal onto gallow brackets into loft, through lounge (rsj), downstairs WC (concrete lintel) and new joists across 1st floor bedroom ceilings) which was all drawn up by the architects - 2015. The...

Thank you for your replies. I was thinking of a dye but I didn't realise I could pick one up from Screwfix - will get that tomorrow, saw this one (https://www.screwfix.com/p/monument-tools-flourescein-drain-dye-133g/31595). Ideally I would need a couple of different colours but they only seem...

Is there a way to stop the water coming in without the pump? There is also water now at the front of the cellar so the pump will probably not stop that?

Hi, There is a hole in the cellar floor and water is now coming up in full flow after the downpour. Any solution to stop it or do I have to wait for the water table to go down? I'm thinking tanking slurry but obviously won't stay with the water flowing out.

Thank you - all makes sense, I've arranged for the EICR and then the consumer unit to be installed. Yes, I'll need the EICR as it is for a tenanted property.
