Hi Thanks FrodoOne, I suppose I was just asking if there was any glaringly obvious way in which these lights were not suitable. I have since spoke to technical from I lumos and they have answered my main question which was the sequence activation from my standard light switch, which i was told...

I have posted before on this but need a bit of clarification if thats in the offing?? Am installing a 800 x 1200 wetroom shower to the corner of my en suite, the project is new build and was originally going for a raised shower tray but changed my mind. One of my concerns is everyone is...

Hi All I am considering usin a pre formed wet room floor gradient former to give my en suite a walk in shower. Just looking for some general advice here.

I have recently purchased a infra red thermometer, one were you shine a red dot on the surface you want to know the temperature of. I am running a convector heater pretty much continuous and felt the flex and plug to be pretty warm, using my thermometer the plug was 83 degrees c I am sure...

Thanks John I can see the issues clearly regarding this and need a total rethink. This unit does not comprise of much, however as said i am running it from my supply, when having not spent much time at the house my electricity bill was quite substantial, this is due to my neighbour being an avid...

i will accept it cannot be done , but just investigating,

thank John Yes they are on same phase. why we look to do it this way is part neighbourly dispute, the sketch is just for clarity. basically the unit is lit and socketed from my supply but is a split unit with seperate curcuits but the need for some circuits to be communal whils occupied. if it...

This is were i am confused as to why this is not possible bernard, supplies come from next door to each other semi detached houses, which in turn each house is supplied by a 25mm L and N supply bolted onto the same cable on external overhead to house (they then go through seperate meters etc)...

Hope this makes sense to readers we have a communal unit that is wired from 2 seperate supplies, each supply to this unit will have terminals in the same connector block, and then a single cable into the distribution box in the unit . Questions asked here. if both supplies are live would the...

This is thearetical. me and my neighbour (we live in a pair of semis) want to supply electricity from our houses to external building/workshops). if we were both to run seperate cables to a communal point and from there to the external fuseboard, would that? A. Blow up B. Not be properly...

Looking for direction here!! I am looking to have made (maybe by somebody here) a softwood door frame initially that as an arched top (as posted sketch). Is there anybody here who can direct me?? i suppose i could just get to a joinery shop and have it made. But would like to discuss here the...

Think that depends on a few quoibles, if al is set to go with the plasterer not needing to mess with studwork or any other prep, electrics are all nicely ready, materials can be brought in , and its a straightforwrd jo then £12.50.00 M2 should be a fair rate for board and skim. that makes this a...

Just one thing to consider prior to pushing on with structural enginner, the beam (s) will be circa 8300mm long, just make sure that length of beam is physically capable of being brought into the room for instalation!. dont panic too much if it wont come through doors or windows, it may have to...

ask "sohcahtoa" he is good with his eyes!!

When you say 8M of stone to come out are you saying this is width of opening (from stepladder on picture to far wall??) A reasonably rough estimate for this work to be done should be. 1. Structural engineer Design costs £600.00 up £1500.00 (they vary) 2. Building control £120.00 3. Wall...

Hi to all Hoping to discuss here. I have just completed the base for my detached garage, and as its part of overall renovation works it will remain as just the base for possibly a few years... unless i get some funding earlier. I have a 10mm SWA cable in a hockey stick ready for the future...

Thanks for the replies Used a different brand Euroscrim!! gauranteed to perform it says on the package, and it really does. As for doing the plasterers prep!! he was due in earlier this week but cancelled to saturday, its just a matter of cost on my belhalf, I pay him by the day and like to see...

Need a bit of advice "quickly" have plasterers coming Wednesday morning and I have agreed to do as much prep as possible for them as they just want to get stuck in and start spreading the skim coat. I said I would scrim all the joints and are struggling because the stuff is lacking any...

Just thought i would bounce in other ideas!! what about mirroring the existing extension and thus creating a huge valley, but at 1st floor level collar across thus creating a deck that both mirrored pitches could drain onto, the upper window could convert to a doorway leading onto a nice private...
