It cost me £350 for EDF to move my meter and service head from inside my property to a flush mount box outside (approx 7 meters), and that involved them cutting the feed and jointing the cable. Mind you I had to dig the access trench for them, and install the meter box. Thought it a bit steep at...

I could do that, but would rather avoid it. I have come across these if it helps anyone who comes across this thread in the future: http://www.sparksdirect.co.uk/3-gang-intermediate-dolly-switch-p-5293.html But they are expensive, not screwless and by the looks of it similar to the...

Well im prepared to spend a bit to get what i want, but dont want to pay hundreds for 3 switches! :) Maybe i could change my plans and just have 2 of the lights as 3 way, but then i know i would be constantly having to walk down the stairs to turn the other one off! I have looked at the GET...

Ok thanks, but Just to clarify, I have 3 lights that i want 3 way control of, from the same 3 locations, so each switch needs to be 3 Gang, regardless of the location of the intermediate switches. Of course if there is a manufacturer selling 3 gang where 1 or 2 gangs are intermediate, and the...

Yep, but id want to have matching switches, so they would all need to be grid. Unless anyone knows of any grid system where the grids are identical to the std switches, in size and look.

If i was going to sell 4 a week across the country then no i wouldnt make 10000, id make 10003. ;-) Price is part of it, id have to use grid switches in the hall & landing, also the ones i have been looking at are a little on the large side. Ive accepted im going to have to use grid in the...

Hi, does anyone know if there is a manufacturer that does 3 gang intermediate switches? Ive searched in vain, and don't really want to put a grid switch in the hall / on the landing, or faff about with relays if i can help it. Cheers!

The boiler is located in an outside toilet at the end of the kitchen, and the receiver was originally mounted to the left of the boiler, so that the boiler was between the controller and the receiver, as well as the living room and toilet wall. As this setup did not seem to work at all, i...

Thanks gas4you, Well i did an RF test last night, and it wasn't showing any packets being received, though the receiver was flashing and the green led on the receiver was still green. So it looks like the receiver is getting messages from the controller, but the controller is not getting...

Hi, Ive just had a 837 installed with a vrt360f, and i keep getting "RF err" intermittently displayed on the control. The odd thing is though, that i have whipped the front off of the receiver and the indicator LED's are correct, with a green LED being displayed, and the red led flashing...

:) Don't worry I will get it all specked out by a SE when i come to do it, but that will be next summer at the earliest.

Thanks guys, Very helpful and Jeds i appreciate you taking the time for a more in depth reply. I do have footings, and the slab bears on compacted ash on top of soil. One of the reasons for asking now, is that i want to cut the slab so I can make the footing for my new internal...

Hi, Can someone give me a rough idea of how much weight bears on the back wall of my house? I am trying to work out if it is feasible to open up the whole of the back of the house when i plan to extend next summer. Details: Mid terrace house, 2 floors @ 8 foot floor to ceiling hight...

Definitely :( Will give them a call and see when they might be able to come out... Cheers!

Great, and thanks so much for all the help. Ive now found 'Part H' so all in i should be fine. Any thoughts on whether id get away with installing the pipe and having the BCO inspection after the fact, as long as both ends are accessible? It's just that i am on a tight deadline for the gas...

cheers for the help hi-spec. So, thats to the bottom of the soil stack then? My soil pipe currently runs down the outside of the house, before running several feet underground to the main drain.

Sorry by "junction" do you mean where i connect the soil pipe from the new WC to the existing soil stack?

One of these is ok?? http://www.wickes.co.uk/invt/158826

Great, not sure im going to have time to sort that out before the Duct has to be screeded in. :( If BCO have access to both ends of the unconnected pipe would that suffice? Obv, if I mess up I would have to dig an alternative trench for a new soil pipe. I understand the required fall is a Min of...

Hi, Ive just finished digging a trench through my house for my gas & water supply (new gas supply & lead replacement for water), which are going to be laid in a floor duct. Some time in the not to distant future, I want to install a downstairs cloakroom, and as i already have a trench in...
