Yer the little bit of wall between the stairs and the casing. However thinking long term I need a wider route as I plan on slowly rewiring. The consumer unit is at the bottom of the stairs in the cavity in the wall. I'd need a 1.5mm for downstairs lighting. A 2.5mm for the boiler, 2 2.5mms for...

So my shower is wired in 6mm. It's a 9.5kw. When I do the bathroom I'm altering it to a 10mm. The major problem is the existing cable is fed up the cavity into the loft and then down to the shower. The previous owner or a previous owner has had cavity wall insulation put in. So I cant use that...

All the drainage is at the top of the patio where the house is. The patio slopes down and away from the house. If I dig down in line with the iron cast and find it is it possible to connect an aco to a foul drain? Or am I better putting sand down instead of soil and trying to improve natural...

The weather has been terrible the past couple of days but I'm wondering how to go about stopping the patio from flooding. It only does it when its really bad weather. Usual rain it's fine. Very heavy rain or heavy rain for a few days and it floods. Its clay heavy soil. The patio sloped to one...

The tiles arent bang on level. I'm gonna try and fill in the grout lines to make it smoother and see how it ends up

I have some 1mm foil backed underlay specifically for lvt flooring

We have bought some new flooring for the porch. The vinyl click system flooring. The porch is an extension of the bay window to the corner of the house. I was planning on putting some plywood down and then I have underlay for the vinyl click and then the flooring on top. Is it ok to screw the...

It's only been done yesterday. I just find it odd for it to be left so open. Doesnt make sense does it?

That does seem strange. I'm going to tack the felt down so its overhanging the cladding. I'm wondering if it's worth siliconing the dry verge along the roof tiles so water cant possibly get in. They're also misaligned so for how easy it is to remove them im considering trying to line them up...

It wont be cemented with being a dry verge. So was wondering how it should be finished

How should a dry verge be finished? The tile overhangs the cladding and the felt slightly overhangs. I dont get how this would be watertight if you check out the pictures. If this isnt right how should it be finished?

Weve recently had our porch flat roof removed and a pitched roof put on by a family friend who's a roofer. Hes put dry verge on but I'm wondering how is it watertight? I tried to straighten it up as it looked twisted and wonky as you can see in the pics. But I noticed there is nothing at the...

No he just took pictures and said yer it needs sorting. He was a nice guy. Didnt do a ze test or anything tho

ENW turned up yesterday. The guy took a load of pictures and said it all needs replacing. He said someone will ring. If I haven't heard anything in two weeks to ring up and chase it up. Theyll have dig drive up. Cut into the cable and run new in. Itll still be a tns supply. Just need to chase up...

I know the pictures arent the best. My camera kept going blurry the closer I zoomed in. I tried to fill with caulk but it's made it looks worse to be honest. If you look close you can see the caulk despite it being painted over

My thread has well been hijacked! The joys of inspection and testing. I rung the dno this morning. An engineer was coming today. Its half six and still no sign

We had our ceiling plastered about two years ago. Its lathe and plaster and its boarded over in certain areas as the ceiling was cut away due to a botch up chimney breast removal before we moved in. We sorted the joists out properly so it's all now to a standard. The parts cut out where then...

I love this place I know it needs a full electrical installation certificate. I know I need to borrow a test kit and measure the ze. But it seems for now more logical and easier to tell the dno I'm concerned about the earthing and its showing signs of corrosion and let them test it or change it...

Yes all the zs readings were within as were the rcd tests. But with the corrosion on the earth it definitely needs looking at

I did earth loop and rcd tests after install. I know I should have done all dead tests as well but I dont work for myself. It was a case of borrowing a test kit from work. All within calibration. Its rcbos and not a split board. I did end to ends on the ring mains. Downstairs ring has no end to...
