Thanks for coming back to me Sorry Its not so much the guttering as the the joint on the rain hopper and the downpipe from there down. I have a connector but it seems very sloppy and while the brackets should hold it in place I wonder if over a period of time gravity might cause some slippage...

Hi I have guttering, downpipes, and a box of bits which I bought online from Toolstation manufacteured by by Aquaflow. Having never replaced guttering before I am a little concerned as the fittings seem very loose. How do I join them. Is there a type of silicone ( does it come in black ) ...

Hi I had the same problem. On my property there was a lip to take the water over the edge of the flashing which is fine as long as the level doesn't rise above. The Builders cure of silicone could not be easily applied and I could not see exactly if the problem was sorted. I pulled out any...

Morning 1john The cable is Twin core + earth I think 30 rather than lighting cable. All of them seem to be live but there are only 2 sets of downlighters running off them now. one 6 lights total 240 one 5 lights total 200 Joe

Hi All again Sorry to be a nuciance but the wiring is all over the place in my new flat. In my previous post I asked for advice on what dimmer to get. I have got a 2 gang 2way swith. On the wall there are 2 1 gang switch which I wanted to change to the one to make it a bit tidier. When I had...

The lights are in a suspended ceiling so not affecting the integrity of my bedroom. No I didn't know a dimmer can affect the life of the bulb. The spread is great but as I said in the evening I would like the living area a little dimmer . There was 2 pendants with 100 watt bulbs in each room so...

Sorry Ban all Sheds Not quite sure what you mean. The area is 30ft by 16ft and the lighting is fine except in the evening I would prefer the lights in the living area to be a little more ambient. As for building regs I didn't know you had to apply for anything to change a few lights

Says 40 watt on box energy saving ones ( also toolstation ) If I have the 2 lines dont I need a 2 gang 1 way ? which they dont seem to do in a 400 watt

yes

Sorry eyesight is getting worse. If I have 6 lights on one line totalling 240 watt and 5 on another totalling 200. I need a 2 gang 1 way switch 250 Watt ? Joe

Thanks ELZ So I'm not being thick. I wonder why 250 watt switches are so much more than 400....

Hi all Apologies for taking so long to reply but I have just moved and been up to my eyes in figuring out how to make a 30 year old suspended ceiling attractive. ( quite pleased ) Anyway Lots of Chemicals seems to have cleared the smell. I wonder if it may have been a dead rat as my mother...

Hi I've just moved into a flat where I was horrified to find everything is wired into a single 30 amp ring. There are wires and switches everywhere that are not connected to anything. I have replaced the lighting in the kitchen/dinerwith downlights using GU10 bulbs. The Kitchen area has 5...

I tend to agree with wabbitpoo on the relocation although it wont be easy. And I'll have a look at the trap. Thanks chaps. Joe

The kitchen sink does not smell to good either and according to mother she always rinses it at night before bed. Is there something on the market to flush it through ? I'm a bit wary with chemicals as sometimes they seem to do more damage than good. Joe

Hi chaps My mothers diet does include a lot of fish. When I say gather I mean there are other wash basins in the house but connected on the other side to the old system so I dont think part of the problem. As long as the stench pipe is the one that runs up to the roof with a cap on, then yes...

Hi OK I braved the elements and pulled the cover up and ran a few taps and all is flowing fine so no blockage there. Joe

Will do as soon as the gale force wind stops :)
