Sorry, There 2 240v in the 'outside the zones' in the main ceiling, 2 12v lamps 30cm outside the shower cubicle where the ceiling is stepped down from the main ceiling and 1 12v lamp above the shower cubicle. The main ceiling is 2.4m high, top of shower cubicle to main ceiling 350mm and top of...

I have 2 - 240v downlights in Zone 3 and 3 - 12v downlights in Zone 3. I now want to renew these 5 lamps, so all being the same size and 240v GU daylight bulbs. Is there any issues in using IP65 lamps in Zone 1 thanks

The mortar is 'Carlton - FP ECOMIX' and has no pebbles. I find the 4:1 mix too soft and crumbles/breaks up well within 12/15mths as it tends to be damp/waterlogged most of the time.

Have a some fence post mortar bags left over from garden fencing. Could I use these for pointing the 2 x 2 & 3 x 2 patio slabs etc.

Its not the Insurers, its several Mortgage lenders my broker has contacted.

One thing that I cant grasp. Whats the difference between Upvc cladding and timber cladding, they both combustible fire risks.

Not alarming others, but my property is a half brick - half timber clad timber framed house. Like many other properties where we are, majority have replaced the timber cladding with Upvc. A minority have done as I wish to do by either totally bricking up all round or brick up the sides and fit...

Tried for lifetime mortgage, but refused due to greater than 20% of Upvc used on property. No masonry behind cladding as it replaced wood cladding 17 years ago.

Apparently mortgage lenders are tightening their conditions regarding Upvc cladding on houses and most likely Insurance companies will too soon/ Currently looking to either totally brick up replacing the Upvc cladding or use vertical hung tiles as some owners have done for the gable ends of...

My house built approx 30years ago and used a Red sand mix for the mortar. Need to do some repointing in a small area. None of the high street or local DIY suppliers have red sand. Have been tempted to get some the beaches of Torbay. Any tips of how to colour the normal building sand for a...

BAYERSAN Glass Fibre water fed window cleaning pole Anyone know of these Window/Fascia cleaning 9mt poles if ok or too flimsy ?

Expect you're the type of bloke who boasts how big he is between his legs, or wish he was.............

Yeah Good point. Could use a green fine mesh to add alittle more privacy on the trellis.

The actual pathway is higher than the ground level where the conifers are planted and on a slope, where one end of the row even though 3.5mts walkers could see over into the home where as the opposite end of the row is totally private as the pathway is below the planted level of the conifers.

Thanks, But its abit screwy, when you have conifers/hedgerows 4mts high then only allowed 2mt fence. :confused:

Had a row of conifers across the bottom of our garden for some 30 years approx 3.5mtrs tall which gives us privacy from a public footpath. With the ever increasing dry summers etc, the conifers are suffering (bare/brown) and taking as moisture from the soil the other plants and bushes are...

Has anyone done their own DIY Hot Tub using a 1000L IBC container as seen on YouTube etc. Costs being lower than the Fibreglass type and longer lasting than the improvised paddling pools with pumps and jets. Be interested of how they constructed theirs and what they used for Water/Air jets and...

I think its the threads on the Brass assembly that is the route of the problem as it seems as if they get dry where the lubricant don't last. There are no ceramic's in the valve, just O-rings around the rotary temperature spindle and Flow control spindle both of which are brass, and O-rings on...

Thanks, Read elsewhere, by using Sulphate of Iron only it increases the acid. Purchased some chemical soil testers, as yet to test the soil in the infected areas. Thanks for the replies.
