Thats a point there is only a single but it is original wiring from from when it was built as previous occupiers would not have done sweet fa to the place along with conductors are red and black which thinking about it is odd as the other sockets all have 2 cables,would it tell me on the eic...

Yes 30Ma,plus it would save all the chasing out/making good which is what i want to avoid. Thank you Sir.

Thanks for the reply, Its all te cable but the one going down i was a bit generous in stripping the sheath,did not think of having a single socket and then dropping from that to the double but if i do that am i ok with the plastic conduit on the top half and the copper on the bottom half?

In Kitchen has been extended and would like to know what to do about the wiring so it is safe for future occupants as we hope to move,what was a single socket has been dropped down to just above the skirting,the original 2.5 drops from the ceiling and is in that oval plastic conduit and is about...

We had ours replaced/updated a couple of years ago and was concerned they would fix it to the lower wooden panel which is next to the frront door and which would need replacing at some time and then the drama of getting it moved to fit new frame etc,dont know what i worried about as they just...

Ha,a keen gardener i guess,which reminds me i must string some copper wire around the shed ridge to get rid of the lichen,i beleive the salts leach out when it gets wet and kills it

Agree with all the above comments,we had mould in the shower across a lintel and a good extractor fan and dilute copper sulphate painted on the sanded emulsion seems to have done the job although you will need a few coats of emulsion to cover the blue up,i had a couple of fungal nails on my feet...

Would it be worth stop drilling the crack because as a previous poster said it will have movement,i know it works on metal but dont know about plastics.

Well that is all done with the meter still under the stairs,they said they prefer to leave meters where they are unless they have problems getting the plastic pipe through due to bends but then will locate service pipe close to house and dig and cut from there.our pipe tees of the next house so...

If i recall right a lot of those green up things contain copper sulphate,don't know how to remove but just save some pee and put it on the grass with a watering can,loads of nitrogen and free!

Owain, Will dig out the calor bottle and get the camping stove fired up! Agile, Thanks for that advice have taken note,jesus,they are meant to be upgrading the grid/mains you think it would be future proof but there again that would cut the profits/dividends,ba%£&)d$

Had a word with the blokes doing the work and they took a look and said sometimes with a corner terrace they have one feed with the others coming off it,he looked at the meter location and said there is a fairly good chance they can do it but until it's been located nothing is 100% although...

Footprints, Gave them a call and a dippy teleop has arranged for someone to call me back in the week although i specified an engineer but can't see that happening,Hugh the problem with the door/panel and frame is that it wood and will need replacing in the next couple of years,the bloke i...

Hugh, So you are saying that current regs ARE retrospective,so when we come to renew the front doorframe and side panel they will do it for free or charge a bundle to disconnect remove then re-connect? Had a look at the supply pipe and it is 1 1/4 od so what are the chances they would...

We have had a letter from National Grid saying that they will be replacing or lining the gas pipe from the street to meter which is sited under the stairs on the floor with the electricity meter above,they say they may have to resite the meter for safety reasons and would guess that the front of...

Chers Crank, Its the 52mm low one,i contacted Deceuninck tech and they sent a drawing for the 70mm high one which showed the face hole centre at 57.8 from top edge so i worked out that would be 39.8 for the 52 mm one fitted assuming the bottom lugs are the same height but you...

Well the installer came back and drilled holes in the threshold on the inner front face and managed to break through into the centre cavity!i said if there are no holes in the bottom where will it go,give it a couple of days,well it hasn't gone and i had to pump it out with the bit that goes in...

Gaz, No holes at the top!this was installed at the end of November so i feel i have been pretty patient but now enough is enough so to speak,as you say the door seals should not be a problem once the sprue is carefully removed as i think leaving it and adjusting the roller catches may...
