By the time you've paid for any bits, postage on top, then you'd be as well buying something. Simplest would be a carbon telephone transmitter, telephone receiver, and a battery, as it wouldn't need an amplifier. But that will cost out more than buying something. eg...

primary school kids might use it in art/craft classes, thread it onto string or plait it or something.

Not usually like that. There are several variants of Power Over Ethernet. Alternative A transports power on the same wires as data for 10 and 100 Mbit/s Ethernet variants, so you could use the cable splitting technique to make two 2-pair cables from one 4-pair cable. Alternative B separates...

That's uncalled for. I don't have any aclohol or drUgggggZZZZZZZZZ problems.

The consume unit is very recent, but needs to be redone. It looks like this is a replacement for a Mantel / Skeleton board, and the exposed circuit wires at the top are completely unacceptable. The electrician should have used a skeleton consumer unit or fitted metal trunking inside the...

Do you still want the fan to come on with the light, as well as being able to switch it separately? In which case you will need to change the light pull switch for a double pole, and have a separate single pole switch for the fan.

That interlinks the smoke alarms :-)

18th Edition metallic fixings compliant?

I would assume that some moisture will seep through regardless, especially where wiring penetrates the plasterboard. Ceiling roses aren't airtight. There is also the possibility of leaks which have to be dried out.

I was going to say east-west, then I thought that dust won't accumulate in the slots if they're north-south. I'll go round my house next weekend and redo all mine.

You can go back and line those lid screws up for starters :) And the left-hand trunking doesn't go up to the ceiling and there's no firestopping around those cables.

Yes, but hopefully not the same week as the combi boiler turns up its toes.

Disconnect and remove light fittings. Ram a filling knife or similar round the edge and that might be enough to break the seal. It might be screwed to the joist, but mine was just held on with plaster blobs and came off quite easily.

Any of these should do https://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Main_Index/Door_Bells_and_Chimes_Index/Door_Bells_and_Pushes/index.html

I may be wrong, but I think the grey dropwire is no longer used and the wire is connected to the new black dropwire with the little Sleeve Dropwire 2A. In which case the Block Terminal (which is a slightly unusual one which someone might like on Ebay) might be replaced with a new NTE5C...

Suggest you give your friend some plastic cutlery as he obviously shouldn't be allowed metal tools.

It's very nice carpet for a shed :D I think it's a neat job. Although I'm not sure if splashback offcut meets the requirement for non-combustable. Otherwise we could make consumer units out of it.

Where? Many of these high-rise buildings are high-rise because land values are so high. Even if you build a new high-rise you still have hundreds of residents to be decanted for years while the work is being done.
