Thanks Guys I didn't explain it very well, but you answered my question well. Thanks Again Andy

Is there anything we can use to hang pictures on a wall without using nails or screws. We've just had all of the walls re-plastered and don't want to drill in to it? Thanks Andy

Oh - just one more thing. When i replace the radiators, do i need to re-preasurise the system? I have added preasure to the system before, when we first had it installed. Thanks Andy

:-) - ok thanks for the advise esra_ptrap Andy

Thanks esra_ptrap Do i need to de-preasurise the system somehow first? It's a combination boiler. Thanks Andy

Hi All. W need to remove two living room radiators whilst we are having the walls skimmed. We have a combi boiler so the system is pressurised . How should it be done? Thanks Andy

The house is about 35 years old. All the walls are being skimmed over so they will be perfectly smooth. Andy

Hi all What is the best type of paint for living room walls? We want a paint that won't shoe up any imperfections in the plaster. We are having all the walls skimmed. Thanks Andy

Hi all. I want to lower the plug sockets in the living room as they are a too high up the wall. I've taken the fronts off them to see if there is any spare cable to pull down, but there isn't. Is it possible to extend the cables? and if so how should they be connected, etc. Thanks Andy

Thanks Adam_151 That link explains everything you need to know about dimmers - a little above my intelligence though :-) Thanks to all of you.. Andy

Oh! - well i did ask :lol:

Thanks Spark123 I will change one of the dimmers for a normal switch one. Just out of curiosity, why is it that two cannot be used? Thanks again for the advise Andy :?:

Hi all..... I've sorted out the backbox, but now have a question regarding the wiring. I have two double dimmer switches in the living room. One double dimmer controls the wall lights and the main light(1) and the other double dimmer controls the main light(2) and also the main...

i might even take it back to see if they a more shallow one. The one i got is a modern gold double dimmer switch. andy

Thanks guys for getting back so quickly. The back box i took out is about 16mm but the new light switch depth (not counting the bit that protrudes above the plaster) is about 24mm deep. It's a new switch but is much deeper than the one it's replacing. I wasn't sure if i should chip the...

Hi. I've just moved the living room light switch up the wall about 2ft. For some reason it was way too low. I've purchased a flush light switch, but even with the plaster knocked off the wall, the light switch protrudes above the surounding plaster. Do i need to chip away some of the...

Thanks ban-all-sheds For that info- it may be best to get an electrician to do the wiring, sinse i want the wiring to the light switches changing too. I'll have to ring for some quotes. Thanks Again Andy :?

We'd like to fit some recessed down lighting in the living room. Is this a job for a professional or could i do it myself? I'd prefer to use the 204v and not the low voltage type. We're having the ceiling skimmed to cover the artex. Which job should be done first? How should it all be...

Thanks Terry1234 Thats just what i needed to know. ++++++++++++++++++++++++ What should is the plaster/water ratio be? Andy ________________________ moderator please note 10a which is here

Im attempting a small plastering job. It's indoors, but in a small outhouse in the garage so the finish isn't too important. I've knocked the old cracked (blown) plaster back to sound plaster and now need to re-plaster the area (about 2 square metres). The plaster has been knocked off down...
