There is access on foot under the cable, does it matter? there was a cable (pyro) already there, we removed it.

I do not know the rating yet. The electrician will decide. Yes it will all be RCD protected CU as it will be new.

Hello, My builders and I are installing electrics in a separate garage as shown on the picture. There is an armoured cable going to the garage. It is an exclusive circuit from the CU, in the house, and it is not shared with anything else in the house. There will only be a double socket and...

I don't know where people got the idea that that was the neighbour's roof, even less why people would not reply if that was the case :?: It is my own roof. I was not going to use the torch thing on the UPVC of the conservatory, for obvious reasons. So, to answer my own question, I bought...

I have just installed a conservatory and, as the photos below show, we have a dodgy joint of the roof with an existing flat roof. The latter has that bituminous felt and the photos show gaps and a first attempt to put silicone in the joint, which I doubt will be enough. Should we add roof felt...

I am refurbishing a property, where the stairs structure is in good condition. There was carpet on them but I do not really want carpet again. I am trying to think of how to provide a finish to them.

Hello, Can people recommend a seller of kitchens, who sells end of line kitchens or online, etc. I am looking for the type of supplier where people like small developers buy. This is for a standard estate house (no fancy kitchen). I am looking for a low price but without MFI quality! A...

I was just wondering if it was OK to add the connector block in the light. So can I add the connection to the switch using a fourth terminal that they put for the loop-in in some wall lights, as on this photo?

I have a discussion with someone as to whether it is good practice (or even allowed) to connect a wall light (e.g. cheap B&Q light) as on the picture here. It involves adding a connector block inside the light enclosure to connect the live wire to the light switch. This is at the end of a radial...

I am replacing some old windows with new UPVC DG ones. I have some old problems with distortion of the window apertures: - On this photo, the top row of bricks is bowed down up to 10mm in the middle: Is the remedy for this one to use the rule of deducting 10mm from the smallest aperture...
