Potentially either.

If I wanted to have an LED bulb which had an equivalent of at least and old-style 100W (maybe even 150 W), I guess the dimmer switch shown in the attachment could not be used in conjunction which such a bulb since it's probably impossible to obtain a 7 W LED bulb which is equivalent to an...

Would you use 40 mm masonry nails where the rail attaches to plastered brick wall?

Once the plaster has dried over a couple of weeks on a plasterboard wall, would you apply the grab adhesive to affix the picture rail directly onto the bare plaster? Alternatively, the plasterboard could have a thinned coat of emulsion applied, then coated with full emulsion. However, this...

If wanting to apply affix a picture rail to a stud wall which has still to be boarded and plastered, would you: a) attach picture rail to studs using a small wooden block on each stud, then boarding above and below the rail, then plastering above and below rail b) board entire wall, affix...

This would be one double socket, and not a single socket.

It would just be one standard double socket, so just the one cable.

If a 25mm metal pattress, with standard 20mm knockouts, is set into a brick wall, to allow the installation of a standard domestic electrical socket, does the conduit need to be 20mm round conduit? That is, conduit running from floor inside wall up to socket. Was wondering if conduit of a...

Would anyone know if there any stockists/manufacturers of similar plaster-in vents in the UK, such as those shown in the link below? Thanks. https://www.envisivent.com/collections/walls-ceiling

Interesting link. Thanks RandomGrinch

As a non-glazier I would presume that standard white uPVC frames have the cheapest cost, whereas the same frames in another colour would be more expensive. If only the outside section of the uPVC frames have a colour and the inside section of the frames remain white (if this is possible), is...

Madrab asked if the floor was or is suspended and I simply answered his question. There would be no build-up of lint against an air brick with the air brick removed and the product linked-to below used...

I haven't said anyone has given incorrect advice.

I had thought this was the intended original purpose, as originally there was no fan. So any steam would only be able to escape via the vents or by opening the kitchen window. Originally there was a suspended timber floor. However, the entire floor (original section + extension) was created...

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/272119421017?hash=item3f5b94d859:g:uZ8AAOSwzhVWq-Ud What about a kit such as above which has a brick-shaped centre? There is another air brick located close-by. The two vents were originally there as the cooker had originally been there when the house was built, but...

No.

I wonder if that kit could be used but without using the external vent, but rather attach the tubing to the inside of the air brick using expanding foam? Would mean the original 1940s air brick could remain.

Thanks oldbuffer. There's another air brick located close-by so should be okay using this. The two vents were originally there as the cooker had originally been there, but as the kitchen was extended, the cooker is several metres away from these vents now. Is the above done to prevent any...

The picture below shows an air vent in a kitchen with the internal plastic grill removed. It's just possible to see the external clay vent brick through the hole. The hole measures approx 17 cm x 12 cm. If I wanted to connect the venting tube from a vented tumble dryer into this, what sort of...

If a switch is a 2-way switch can this normally be used in a location where only a 1-way is required? (I presume the other way around is not possible.) If a switch is just to switch on/off a room light (not a dimmer) and there is no other light and/or switch required, then presumably this is a...
