We have an existing 3rd floor loft conversion with stairs that terminate on the 1st floor landing approximately 1m away from the main staircase. My local council as part of a Disabled Facilities grant are looking to install a twin rail Stannah Siena stairlift with swivel seat. I am slightly...

My tester is similar to this https://www.machinemart.co.uk/shop/product/details/draper-vt2-acdc-voltage-tester I have checked & it does work correctly and only the hall wall gives a reading.

The tester has 2 'probes' connected by a wire, 1 red with 3 lights that are labeled 110, 220, 300, the other probe being black. When the red is in contact with a live wire and the black either to the neg or earth wire the 220 light lights up. In the case of my houshold supply the 110, 220 are...

I have one of the voltage checkers that light up when one probe is touched to the live + and the other to neg - or earth. Whilst checking the front door light switch I was bemused to find that the probes light comes on when connected to the live wire and the other probe pressed against the...

I've used these in a motorhome conversion and have been very impressed. As long as care is taken it's totally waterproof and can stand up to pretty rough treatment.

What a brilliant diagram, I couldn't find anything as clear when I was 'googling' Thanks :)

Many moons ago I stayed in an old French Chateau & a stricing feature was an amazing dehumidifier hanging from the ceiling in the circular shower-room. The walls were a couple of meters thick and the owner explained that fitting an extractor was impossible. The dehumidifier came on with the...

I wouldn't worry about it, once the skirting's on it shouldn't notice.

Yes whilst I agree that it's best to get the job done properly, frankly saving up is not an option as I'm disabled, and, whilst my wife works its only min wage in this part of the world. I recon we can strip the old lining off and hopefully sort out the 'cracks'. It's the original lath and...

I've had the same situation. My solution was to wood panel the interior of the solid external wall by cutting into the lime plaster as required to attach a series of treated laths, (I used resin studs directly into the stone ). Then wallpaper the wall with thermal lining paper and apply the wall...

The sitting room ceiling in our early Victorian house need repainting. It has lining paper which seems basically sound apart from a couple of areas where it has blistered. The ceiling itself looks to have a couple of cracks under the lining paper which don't seem to be a problem, but I'm...

I'm fitting a saniflow compact and the run on that is a 2m horizontal ( sloping , if you see what I mean) there is a sink that is connected as well, then down 3 floors. I asked the technical dept as the example in the instructions showed the pipe I want going down as going up. Give them acall...

Thanks, I kind of figured that out but wanted to make sure.

That's a lovely job you've done. sorry for not replying that my flex is indeed 2 core not 3.

My system has a Fernox TF1compact fitted & as Ive had to drain the system down and refill I want to dose it up. I know the compact has a dosing point for the express cans but as I have the 'normal' plastic bottles I want to use them. Is there an easy way? I'd like to flush the system through...

It might be that it will be better to fix a thin strip of timber along the top of the window allowing you to fix/glue to undamaged plaster. Then you can paint it to blend in and attach your curtain fixings as needed.

I always find that if I try explaining quantum theory it turns most things off.
