I'll pick up the pendant sets at the weekend - might as well change the upstairs and downstairs at the same time. Toolstation seem the be the best value at about £1.08.

Cheers Are all roses the same size? I.e. will the new rose be the same size as the plate underneath that it screws on to?

Get this - I've just tried the working bulb from the hallway in the fitting on the landing - it doesn't come on. Looks like its the actual light fitting rather than the bulb. I'm going to change the thing anyway to a regular bayonet one. Probably will do this with pops in a couple of...

What's involved in just changing everything apart from the old rose??

That's a really good point actually. I always keep stuff like this don't know why I said that. My neighbour was about to fling two perfectly good bathroom extractor fans the other day as he's having his bathrooms redone. The old ones match mine and go nicely in a tesco bag in the garage.

The set is £1.20 at screw fix. If I don't use it I'll fling it.

Ok cheers.

Excellent. The ones that were too short were 28mm. I'll pick some longer ones up from there.

Right. Cheers. Where's the best place to get some of those? Bearing in mind I only need 1!

I will get some longer screws. My dad will probably have some.

The screw holes in the back box were actually at differing depths by design - they are molded into position. Frustrating that's for sure.

Cheers mate. I was hoping that would be the answer. Thanks v.much.

Started out what should have been a simple job - to change a faulty fused switch box in the house. I took the old box off the wall and wired up the new one. When I came to screw the new box back on to the wall, the left screw went in fine but the right screw was too short. The new...
