Thanks foir the help. Just thinking about the gaps. Thay are only a couple cross ways so can be filled. Can you mix wood glue with last sanding, also can you use this for the nail holes. I would assume you will then need to sand again. Thanks

Have started sanding my softwood floor-About 30 year old and in very good nick apart from a black band around the perimeter and 2 gaps where the boards have been sawed for central heating/electrics. questions 1. the black band appears to be some sort of carpet tape as it is a material. When...

Just interested if anyone can answer this. 'Do shower pumps vary in pressure' . Reason i ask is that I have a mixershower on 1st floor with pump in the loft. The cold is supplied from the cold water tank and the hot from the hot water cylinder. sometimes the flow from the shower head is very...

I have had the foxsat for several months now with a 1tb iomega HDD attched. All worked fine until today. Although I can see the programs on USB HDD they will no longer play. When I press play foxsat goes int reboot mode. I have checked by connecting a usb flash drive and that works perfectly...

Yes sorry wrong terminology.

Thanks for all the good advice will look to have a switch put in and temporarily disconnect the shower cable as advised. Havent been in the house long so I contacted previous owner who confirmed the original shower waselectric and a pump has beee put in its place hence the excessive MCB. Would...

There is actually only one electric shower in the house. First MCD is a shower pump for power shower. Is this OK. Perhaps I need to get some professional assistance ?

Thanks for your help. Picture posted in my albums not sure how to attach, just click on jabberwocki. switch second from left is old shower. the other switch which is an immersion heater which is never used. Thanks

Got me worried now. The CU is as I have described a line of MCBS and one RCD at the end nothing else anywhere except back of kitchen cabinet. Could there be a switch behind this? Meters etc are on the outside through the wall and there seems to be nothing in that cupboard. i can post a photo...

Have disconnected an electric shower. removed connections from switch and shower and turned off and taped down MCB. As I now have a cable in the attic which could potentially be live if someone were to switch on the MCB is the correct way to have the MCB removed ? I assume I will need a spark to...

I solved my problem yesterday(see prvious posts) twas only a neutral wire had come loose. I need a bit more help. as usual a simple job changing an extractor fan in en suite has turned into a major job. Problem is when I checked in the attic whilst fixing above problem I notice the wiring as...

referring to my previous post. tested with multimeter. No reading either at fan wiring/ceiling rose or pull cord switch. guess i will need to look further back in the loft. Cannot see an isolating switch could this be located in the loft ? Any help greatfully received THANKS

Thanks all. Yes I do have a multimeter but surely as the live to the fan shows a voltage it should work? Will check all connection can only think I disturbed something.

Changing an extractor fan today. Thought it was a simple job but now I may need to get a spark in but thought someone coul advise if this would be the best course of action or whetther a simple solution. Changed fan identifying permanent live which was not needed and fan worked fine. Had a...

Another one for anyone who is around. Replacing extractor in en suite. new one has 2 connection live and neutral. Wiring for the old one has 2 lives and one neutral. I have tested and one is a permanent live and the other a live switched through the pull cord with the lights. Does this mean the...

Picture available if you click my usernam I think. Assume I just connect to the earth connection at the top of the picture. Thanks PrenticeBoyofDerry

Purchased a new light fitting for small en suite containing shower toilet and handbasin. New fitting suitable for zone 2 although it is out of zone 2 on the ceiling. As you can see in the picture current fitting is a downhanger and shade with live and neutral attached and no earth. I assume...
