I'm going to get the 4mm heat resistant flex, unless they are sold out then I'll get the T+E

Thanks very much, Will have to quickly go to b&q to get the cable. I guess I just strip the bare wire back and wrap it around the screws on the cooker? Don't need to crimp anything on do I?

sorry I should have said, the new oven is 6.8kw. We don't have an electric hob. The current hob is gas but needs electric for the ignition. That's what the black plug is you can see on the photo

Hi all, Just wondering if some nice person would help me install a new electric oven. Just removed the old one (single electrolux) and wish to replace with a neff 1.5 oven. Here's a load of pics I have just taken as a photo speaks a thousand words. Extra info - I've read the...

We currently have a builder with us today bricking up our kitchen door. Just had a look and he has put thermalite blocks inside between the two plasterboard sides. The outside has been toothed in to the existing brickwork (just started on the outside now) but he has left the pvc frame in...

luckily the builders are still on site and have matching bricks. Should look ok.

We purchased a new house in 2008 and wish to extend the kitchen units. The problem is they have put an outside door right in the middle of the main wall. We never use this door as the house is on a side plot and so leads onto a road. I know a house requires two main exits out of the...

Just had a joiner come to look at this mess, he is supposed to be pretty good. He said two of the holes I'd drilled in the plaster are infront of joists, the other two are infront of a beam. It's one of these which I'd drilled into which he says is fine. While obviously not a good thing...

if it's going to cost £100 to do the ceiling, since I still have to relocate the spotlights anyway I might as well do that To answer the above questions, I've no idea. Just drilled the holes and saw all this wood :lol: I knew I'd balls it up :roll: I'm not doing any DIY from now on...

The hole is under the bathroom and we live in a new build so it's not proper floorboards. Just out of interest, how much would someone charge me for a new ceiling :oops: would they be able to repair or replace the joist from below? Thanks

ok, who do I need to call to sort it all out?

This was posted in the electrical section but think it may be better here after reading some of the replies. How much is this going to cost me to fix :cry: :oops: Hindsight is a wonderful thing isn't it Yesterday I decided to have a go at installing four spotlights into our hallway...

Thanks for the replies, luckily I only drilled into one joist. Not done the others yet 'Thank God' Doesn't look like there's much weight above the hole I drilled. Just some very thin wood which obvously can't have any weight on it. The floor above looks much higher up :?

:oops: Hindsight is a wonderful thing isn't it Yesterday I decided to have a go at installing four spotlights into our hallway ceiling. The plan was to replace the two existing lights and add an extra two. Thinking it was a good idea I went feet first and started drilling holes and...
