Hi just to clarify are you contradicting what muffking said?

Hi thanks for the replies. It is a timer fan and I have just tried it and it went off after 25 mins. Based on this I can only assume that the sparky didn’t test the timer based on muffking’s reply. Does that make sense?

Hi I had a sparky wire an extractor in a new bathroom with an isolator switch outside on the landing. I couldn’t understand why sometimes it worked and sometimes it didn’t! I removed the fan returned it to Toolstation and fitted a replacement and still the same. I checked the wiring in the...

I have searched the existing posts but couldn't find one that solved my problem. My bathroom is being refurbished (including reskimming the ceiling). I have removed the current light fitting and have temporarily fitted a pendant fitting. (No baths or showers taking place until after the...

Hi Terryplumb, I would but I don't know where the cable is spurred from Riseard, not seen these before. Look like the solution in one unit Thanks both

Hi, could you please advise me? I am moving a partition wall and need to move a socket (that is a spur) to allow this. This involves extending the spur by means of a junction box under the floorboards which will be inaccessible once the wall is moved. I went my local electrical wholesaler who...

Hi thanks for the quick responses.The junction box is power not lighting. The earth pin is metal. From what you say my original plan would be ok then as I understand it. Would you agree?

Hi I am in the process in installing a warmer drawer. It comes with moulded plug. My plan was to wire a socket off a junction box That sits on top of the kitchen cupboard out of site. However the installation instructions say “the appliance must be connected to a earthing socket”. Does this mean...

Sorry, missed text off. Found these in garage. Was wondering if the have any resale value. Cheers

Source Identified. Water company came around and asked if they could check in and around the property as they believed there was a leak. They found it outside the wall the hissing was comiing from. This means the water main doesnt take a direct route from the outside stopcock to the inside...

It's an outside wall and no hissing noticeable outside :~

Thanks for the replies to date. I don't have a water meter and don't use LPG. The water main comes from the front of the house with the stopcock in the kitchen (standard) but the hissing is coming from the utility room beyond the kitchen. I could get the water shut off outside but becasue of...

Hi, there is a hissing sound coming from where the washing machine and tumble dryer are positioned in our utility room. The gas supply comes in from the outside in this area but there is no smell. The only other pipes are single hot and cold water pipes feeding to/from the kitchen and through...

Thanks .... good forward thinking!

Bosch £107 in B&Q or DeWalt £100 in Screwfix For a keen DIYer, which would you guys recommend?

Hi, anyone any experience of granite of quartz worktops? I am looking to upgrade my kitchen and would welcome your advice. Which is the most practical requiring the least maintenance. Basically I need to straight run approx 3000mm x 600mm with upstands and a single cut-out in each for sink and...

The replies are going off on a tangent. I will ask again. Would having a single (one-way) switch remove the problem?

Hi, a late reply I know but I have tried a capacitor (Screwfix) and a supressor (Maplin) but with no joy. Before I start changing the wiring, would changing to a one-way switch solve the problem?

Ok I will give it a go next chance i get. Just curious, but why would there be the need for a capacitor on the old style fluorescent fitting in the first place as from what I have been advised there would not be an "after glow" issue?
