I recently got a wall mounted tap fitted above my bath and when I went to turn it on, it started to leak between the tap facia and tiles. I removed the tap and found that one of the O'Ring on the mixer body male part was split. I thought this is easy I will just replace the O'ring, then I...

I have just recently had my Bathroom refurbished and as part of this I decided to paint the whole bathroom, including new ceiling. All plaster (Joints Taped) and new plasterboard I have sealed with Zinsser. (one coat) and painted the whole bathroom with Zinsser Perma White, Matt. I have went...

Ignore me, i'm being stupid thinking, the cable from the RCD to the switch is coming up through the floorboards, this will not be case and it will most likely be coming down from the loft to the switch, that being the case, I should be able to add a socket, without having to connect cables...

Good idea, I will use it for a socket, I need to extend the cable from switch up into the loft, would it be OK to use appropriate size terminal block and the joint would sit behind the plasterboard. Thanks C

I have recently replaced my electric shower with gravity fed shower, the electric shower switch is outside my bathroom door and is no longer required, as well as being an eye sore. I plan to do the following:- Remove the cable which runs from the shower to the switch and discard. Remove the...

thanks Rob, both could be used at same time, just to clarify, do u mean run 40mm pipe from tee down to the stack? C

That's great, just for clarity, see attached image. Does this look about right, the grey pipe is all 32mm, were the arrow is. there should be a line showing the floorboard level, also I read somewhere that fitting 2 traps can cause air pockets blocking one or the other's drain, not challenging...

I have some experience with plumbing a single wall hung sink and vanity unit, I brought the waste and hot/cold pipes up behind plasterboard and through the wall, pretty straightforward. I am now looking at fitting double wall hung sink unit, therefore my plan is to bring the hot and cold up...

im looking to take power from my bathroom light switch to power bathroom mirror / demister. Behind my light switch I have a set of neutrals (Blue and Black) in a terminal block and also some earths in a terminal block. Im planning in taking a connection from the Neutral and Earth terminal blocks...

The reason I say design, is that there are a high number of the air bricks blocked on the inside, I could understand this happening to some due to bad workmanship, but not around 50% or so, I will try and get some photos taken, I though the only way to open up the brick all the way through is...

Thanks, I have been under before, there were no signs of rot, although there were droplets of water on the joist, coming from poor ventilation, I assume. I then opened up the Airbricks by using a drill, just for the bedroom. Is there no way, I could drill out the rest of the air bricks, as its a...

They are terracotta. Cheers

There is no risk of flooding, the only thing I thought it could be, would be for mice, as we are close to the woods.

I have a Bungalow with a suspended floor, built around early 2000's, I was getting a musty smell in my daughters bedroom, done some investigation and found that the air bricks outside where blocked internally, what I mean by that is that I went outside and poked a stick through the air brick ...

Worked a treat, many thanks.

I'm looking to add a light to my existing bedroom light circuit, one way 2 gang switch to a two way 2 gang switch. my existing light in room is wired behind the switch as follows:- what would the wiring look like behind the switch, which includes the additional light. All help appreciated.

worked a treat, thanks a lot, much appreciated.

that's great, thanks, will wire it this week and let you know, much appreciated.

thanks, just need the additional light to work from one position. i dont have an issue running 3 core from the new light to the switch, just not sure how i wire up the switch, because im replacing a 1 gang 2 way with a 2 gang 2 way, im assuming the existing light will just be wired the same on...

Apologies, my terminology is incorrect. I currently have a 1 Gang 2 way switch and I would like to add an additional lighting circuit by changing to a 2 Gang 2 way switch.
