It was a corner piece so that was originally just an unfinished unbeveled edge where another worktop was butted up against it perpendicular to it. It was indeed not black, but very grey.

Could be, I may try to buff with some wax and see if that works

I have a black worktop with an unfinished side that I'm trying to bevel and polish up. I think it's acrylic/stone mix as it smells of plastic when polishing. I'm using these polishing discs and went from 50 up to 8000 grit using each grit and using water past 400 grit as recommended. It's ended...

Thanks, so inside the bathroom is fine in my case?

I have a small 60W electric towel rail that I'd like to fit outside zone 2 in the bathroom. There's already a blanked off spur in that location so I'd connect it to that. That spur is part of the main ring circuit which is on a 32A 30mA RCBO. Can I just use an isolator switch with flex outlet...

Originally the telephone drop wire ran to the master socket in the centre of the house along one of the exterior walls under the eaves. I've just completed an extension that now means the drop wire it running inside the house to the master socket which is still in the same place. Here's a little...

Thanks, I appreciate your help!

Actually sorry no, not fully understood haha. What if I wanted to make the middle switch the 2 way instead, would it be this? If I messed it up, here's a blank diagram:

Thanks for all the help, all understood now.

Yes I was thinking like that would mean 3 T&E cables down to the 3 gang switch. But if all all 3 switches were together in a 3 gang it would essentially be like the below, is that what you mean? But then you'd have runs of just single wire no? I also need to change one of the switches to 2...

Thanks for the replies. What's the benefit of this method? Only needing 2 versus 3 cables down to switch? I'm also trying to understand how it's all wired at the JBs or roses. This way is confusing me

There's a three gang light switch that used to turn on three seperate lights. Two lights are disconnected now leaving only one light which is turned on by the middle switch. However, there's only two T&E cables going to the switch to control three lights which is what I'm confused about. Diagram...

Good to know thanks. That looks like a headache!

Got a situation where I've built an extension (blue roof below) where the pitch is different to the roof it joins to. So I need to redo the valley as shown below. Would it be ok to have the valley trough change direction slightly? I won't bend the trough, but cut a section to join it at the...

The 6m of former external wall to be removed is actually made up of 4m of block and a 2m wide patio (fitted when built). The new external wall for the extension will also be made up of 4m of block and 2m of patio door, so there's no concern about losing lateral stability. Regarding the loads...

I've followed a series of videos (here) on how to find the correct size beam required for removing a 6m wall in my bungalow to open it up into a new extension. Following the video I'm pretty confident in the calculations, but I need to see about a padstone. Now onto seeing if I need a pad stone...

lol no worries. So just to confirm the second picture is correct and the the first pic (bottle gulley inline with the soil pipe) is a stupid idea? Yes, ventilated stack already in place

Could you explain sorry

Edit, I assume the solution is this, correct? So all the sh*t going along the soil pipe doesn't have to go through the bottle gulley.
