Hi, Thanks for that. What i mean about the valves is.....the on /off tap would stick out(the handle thingys) if i use the proper valves...but if i use just normal chrome iso valves then nothing will stick out...does that make any sense? As to the earthing strap...is this required as it is...

Hi, Yes thats what i think....saw that chromed pipe in B&Q today...9.99 for 2 meters! Will have a look at my local diy store. By rad valves, do you mean the isolating thingies...with just the little chrome screw in to turn water on or off? I dont think i can use the proper towel rad valves...

Hi, My bathroom pull cord switch is right in the way of a shower cubicle. I thought my hubby could move this by channelling out the wall the other side and to put in a proper light switch. He knows the basics of electrics, so would this be easy enough to do ourselves, and would the...
