I don't think this is correct. I've gone through this process with a solicitor a few years ago. Joint tenants is typically what married couples do, so all split equally. If you are tenants in common, you can specify ownership percentages for a purchase. So if one party significantly contributed...

Yes, but not for a long time. The timer is set to I think around 30 seconds. But my front door is close to the pavement and it goes on every time someone walks along the pavement somewhat close to my front garden wall. But it has a nighttime sensor so it's only active from dusk til dawn. My...

The PIR has N as well. my feed is just a simple 1.5mm^2 (yes the unnecessary 1.5 not 1mm) t/e from a ceiling rose. Meaning the N from source feed goes into the choc block and I would've wired the N from the Lamp straight into the same. Pretty much as per guidance from the manual.

works for me... if it helps:

Dear Sparks, I've installed this PIR above the entrance of my front door. Spurred of a nearby ceiling rose, installed without any problems. This was in Oct24. Pretty much exactly a year later, the light (LED bulb) started to flicker. But not instantly.. it would switch on and then maybe after 5...

Hello, I recently had a loft hatch installed and the installier supplied a bare 18mm plywood sheet. I've sanded primed and painted the flat sides and they look fine for its purpose, but the edges look a bit meh... It's for a loft hatch, so does not have to be perfect, but does anyone have any...

Thanks @Wayners really helpful. I used to have these sanding sponges, but they really become rubbish with some real use, i.e. anything beyond a diy art project.. What would you say for the corner/edge where paper/tape has torn? It actually has torn off on several locations further up the...

Hello Decorators, I have removed some MDF shelving in my alcove. On the left side is an unused/inactive chimney and right side is just regular wall, where you can also see some shelving on the other side still to be tacked. Anyhow, the shelves were actually a box structure and when removing...

Solaskirts are the best, but very expensive. Mesh still better than these plastic birdblocker. I had these and after 18 month it came loose at three locations. Invested in Solaskirts now and so far all good.

I think they are rolling out these changes to all electrical appliances. I think it makes sense for larger more complex appliances (white goods+TVs etc), maybe not so much for a string of christmas lights... But then common sense should apply and and you should not worry about it. For more...

Post mortem: I did end up calling Cadent for a quote to have the gas supply re-routed properly. I.e. directly from the main supply pipe under the pavement to my meter in my front garden and I am glad I did.... when they showed up to do the works one of their surveyors detected small amount of...

Just stumbled across this old efixx video on this topic. Would've never assumed that a line fault on my neighbor's incoming supply could bring diverted neutral current to my house etc. Very interesting. So from this point of view moving to non-conductive supply pipes is safer for my house to...

Thanks, but just to be perfectly clear... I also do not need to remove the existing bonding following supply pipe replacement correct? i.e. no harm leaving it in situ.

Dear Sparkies, I have two EICRs from my house, the first/older one says I have TN-C-S and the second/newer one (post CU & Meter replacement) says TN-S. The 100a incoming supply was not amended. The first EICR was commissioned by the previous owner via an estate agent for a rental... the second...

you are probably right. Just peaked at my neighbour's plan whose house is a copy paste of mine. It appears their design shows 4 in total. two top top bottom. Probably a better way and doable if everything will be rebuilt. They installed passive speakers to be hooked up with Sonos amps. Some...

yes that would be the next step. I expect the kitchen to be roughly 4.5m x 6.5/7m depending on planning permission. So a fairly rectangular setup. It is likely that speakers will be more used during cooking and general social gathering, rather than when seated at dining area. Again it doesn't...

Thanks @Lucid very good content and lots to think about! Before posting, I was actually looking at something like QAcoustics and thought that this might fit quite well for my needs. The reason I thought a wall controller is handy is of course part aesthetics but also the idea that any person in...

Thanks all, very useful info. Kitchen design is far from final, need to agree with the mrs.... but it seems active speakers bit if a faff and risk putting cheap components... so passive, with cable to a location (still to be finalised) and then any decent amp to feed it with BT receiver seems...

Thanks. Speakers therefore are passive? i.e. they just need audio cables from the amp to the speakers, no power required? So you are saying I don't really need a wall control unit, but just an Amp somewhere which connects to a BT receiver? And then everything is effectively controlled via...

Hello Everybody, planning a full kitchen refurb next year and would like to have some ceiling speakers. It should be a relatively simple system. Two speakers built into the ceiling, somewhere there needs to be an amp, and then a wall mounted control system. In its simplest form, it should have...
