    Where to cut pipes?

    I'm not sure actually but it's tied into the return pipe. Currently the pipework runs under a concrete floor to a rad opposite and off to another rad. I want to run pipework along the wall to the the left of the existing pipes to a new rad, but also want another couple of rads tied in as well.

    Where to cut pipes?

    These are the flow and return pipes that come down from upstairs and currently supply 3 radiators. I'm looking to reposition rads and will need to feed off of these. Where is the best place to cut them and tee off or doesn't it matter? I ask because l wasn't sure if the blanked off 22mm...

    What switch do l need?

    What switch do l need?

    Just the way it read in the description If l got 2 of these for opposite ends of a room, you think that both dimmer switches will work as 2 way? I just want to be sure as they're not cheap

    What switch do l need?

    I need a 3 gang with 2 dimmer switches and 1 on/off switch. I want the 2 dimmers to be 2 way and the other just on/off. The picture l have attached reads to me that the 2 dimmers are 1 way and the other is a 2 way, so this would be wrong option for me? If wrong, can anyone tell me which unit...

    Which switch?

    I need a 3 gang switch with only one of them being a two way. Is it simply a 3 gang 2 way switch or are they called something else because only 1 switch is a 2 way?

    SAFE TO REMOVE??

    I want to take the door way out up to the ceiling. A steel beam sits across the room and sits into the wall right of the doorway. The brick above the doorway isn't supporting anything directly above and just exposes the underneath of the stairs. Can l remove the doorway and brick above just...

    Door linings first or after boarding?

    I am just starting framing out a new stud wall which will house a set of double doors. Is it preferred to plasterboard first to the edge of the stud work and then fit the door lining or can l fit the lining first? The reason l ask is because l wanted to leave the stud wall open to run cables...

    HOLES IN CEILING

    As plasterers, do you generally mind if spotlight holes have been cut into a new ceiling and lights left dangling before you plaster it? Or even just the holes cut if wires are left tucked up inside ready for lights?

    EXTENDING CABLE

    It looks like it goes down or possibly across to the other light which is operated by a switch even further along. I think it is on a socket circuit. I popped a plug in the kitchen once and it shorted everything in the conservatory. It's ground floor in a conservatory which backs onto the...
