Thanks for the replies. :) My project is I'm building a floating wall to house my TV and wiring etc. Because I could not make the wall out of one whole piece of board I had to use 3 pieces. The edges of the wall protrude out from the framework approx. 2.5" at the left and right hand...

I had been looking at fitting a roof ventilation tile in order to vent bathroom condensation in place of the current setup. Currently I have a 4" Centrifugal fan connected via flexible ventilation hose to a vent on the outside wall (all in the loft). I wondered if it would easier (and...

Hi everyone, Apologies for any incorrectly used words as I am not a carpenter. How would somebody go about joining 2x Mdf boards edge to edge? I have seen in other woods where dowels or biscuits have been used but wasn't sure if that applied to Mdf as it seems very different internally...

Thanks for the replies and yes 'Wessex' it is. I knew it was a county down south near london :oops:

My roof has Marley sussex roof tiles and when the weather gets better I want to fit a vent tile for my bathroom. I know that the tiles sits on battens fixed to the roof timbers. But are the actual tiles nailed down or is it just the top row and then all the others below it just rest on each...

Thanks again. :D

Thanks for the reply. I'll have a look at the link you supplied. :D Edit: There's no image on that site and i typed it into google and no images came up for that particular vent. Do you happen to have any images of it?

Can anybody recommend a good vent tile to replace a Marley Wessex? I really need to fit a bathroom extractor and venting it straight upwards through the roof is the easiest route.

Thanks for the reply. Let me know how you get on. :D

Thanks for the reply :D I can fit it myself so i'll try as you suggested and contact some local manufacturers,

Thanks for the reply :D . I'll try some of the local Upvc manufacturers and see what the quote.

My UPvc back door needs replacing on my house built around 1970's. I looked on line and found loads of different door designs and they appeared to be in a number of standardized sizes. I measured the door and find it to be an unusual size. The height is 2040mm which appears to be a normal...

Thanks all for the replies and the information.

Oh I should have said that my garage circuit in 2.5mm is on a ring to its own MCB in the main Cu in the house in case that makes any difference to your suggestions. Would your suggestion be to replace the 2x 2.5mm runs from the main Cu with a single or double 4mm? If so, could this be run...

I think that you're probably right about the loads. I think i'll have to resign myself to the fact that it'll be too much work to run a 4mm or even 6mm cable from the Cu through the house and the garage then out into the garden and to the shed. i'll give it some more thought. Thanks...

Thanks for the reply. With regards to load do you mean in the shed alone or combined with the garage?

I plan to get a shed sometime this year so as to be able to move a lot of stuff that currently fills my garage. In my garage (attached to my home) I have a direct feed from the main CU to a second smaller Cu in the garage which has an Rcd and 2x mcbs (one is for the light and the other for...

Does it not make any difference that as part of a building extension last year we had our whole house tested, inspected and certified?

Thanks for the replies everybody :D

Im having my meter changed from an Economy 7 meter to a standard meter since we haven't had Economy 7 storage heating for over 20 years since our village went to oil (we have no gas!). The electrical company are insisting the engineer may need access to the house and I asked why as the meter...
