Thanks for the answers, happen to think that the use of tape is one of the most dangerous general practices I have come across, but there you go life can't always be serious, from replies : - - don't use insulation tape for insulation (um! wonder what that means to non -sparks) - cheap is...

On a number of occassions I have found insulation tape is coming unstuck - ultimately unsave. I seem to remember with the old woven stuff this never happened. I can't put it on any tighter, am I buying the wrong (cheap) tape - (glossy) or doing something else wrong?

OK will let you know what happens. We are on same wave length but for the benefit of our other readers when I said "I don't like the idea of "joining" supplementary bonding circuits with copper pipe", what i meant was: - Say a lighting circuit is bonded to one end of a copper pipe and a...

I'm no builder but have been looking a ttis subject one way or another for a while Looks to me s of the outside walls are ply. Why not a warm roof type construction? Effectively placing kings span on the outside and finding something to over clad the shed (say timber lap wall felt roof)...

That's him only older (surprisingly)! Going back to the shop armed with N I C E I C info (which is v good), to see what he has to say! :twisted: From what you say the key to me is that "each circuit" has to be bonded, like in my case lights, shower, immersion heater (in airing cupboard...

Thanks Ban, getting new lights, this may make your day! Went to local shed this morning to get cable for bonding (4mm) mentioned what I am up to to assistant he says "why do you want to do that if you've already got earth wire on lights, you don't need to do any thing else". Told him that I...

Thanks for that Ban; smallest one on that site is 180mm which is a getting a wee bit big for the room - the ones i've got are 150mm but deeper, as things are I'll have to take them back - guess you don't like the idea of sticking the wall ones on the ceiling? To pick your brains a bit more -...

Thanks for getting back so quick. Trying to answer question in order asked! rocky: - Cable entry is through a rubber grommet, can't see any reason as to why this is any less water tight if mounted on ceiling? Circular glass shade is screwed into body (rubber washer between) and then...

I am about to replace bathroom ceiling lights, 2 in zone 2, 1 in zone 3, if has been one heck of a job find something "suitable". New lights are IP44's (flush, circular), manufactures fitting instructions say they should are for "wall mounting" only I can't see any reason as to why - tried...

Hi Thanks for the replies. I've had a good look at the outside and it looks good. Decided the best route: - - to take part of the ceiling down (near eaves) mainly to check circulation (Anyone able to tell me how I know if its sufficient?). - sort out any problems I find, check al...

Like my batterns :shock:

Hi Had a smilar problem with floor boards and sanity- tried screws nails and talc, none solved the problem eventually traced it down to the 40mm batterns - flexing, twisted, cut out for electrics etc. had to go round - pack them out with wedges stop the flex, strengthen around electric cut...

Help please, sorry a bit long but trying to give all the info I know. Have just "finished" redecorating a small (2 x 3 metre) upstairs bathroom including tiling floor to ceiling around the bath. In doing so I replaced part of the ceiling (about 1 x 1 metre), the bit I took down had bowed...
