Hi (Originally posted in flooring forum without success so maybe better here?) Next project will be to turn an existing extension into a utility room with a wetroom on the end. The existing floor is cement and I thought it be best to lay a sub floor on top of this in order to allow for...

Hi Just purchased one of these: http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/20160766 On first impression it all looked so simple! We wanted to fit it to existing ceiling rose, however the rose is slight too large to fit into the 'box' What would be our options? Would I have to screw...

Hi Next project will be to turn an existing extension into a utility room with a wetroom on the end :? The existing floor is cement and I thought it be best to lay a sub floor on top of this in order to allow for pipes and waste flow from shower. The remainder of the room I guess may not...

Hi Came complete so I would have thought it was assembled properly?

Hi Yeah thats what I meant Would the flush valve be faulty or is it a matter of adjusting something?

Update I remove the cistern and rescrewed the flush mechanism and reduced the amount to under 6L. This seems to have reduced the amount of water entering the bowl into a very slow trickle. Anyone have any suggestions on how to make this trickle stop. As I mentioned I have cut off the water...

Thanks for the reply, I adjusted the level to reach the 6L mark in the cistern as per the instructions...? :? There is a small adjuster screw on the inlet which has a plastic & foam 'float' which I guess is a type of stopcock that you turn to get the water up to the level. It has a dual...

Hi Just installed one of these and all is ticketyboo, however...

Hi Thank you very much for your continued helpful replies :) Yes it will run in line with the joists (See amended pic) It will exit at 2nd floor level and I guess the run will be about 6m into an already vented stack. Would it be prudent to install a Durgo Valve regardless...

Hi again! :wink: Back to this project, as we are removing the stairs which is roughly were the new bathroom is going to be we will have the option of running the soil stack in between the new joists and not directly down as per previous post. The run of this will be 4m then through...

Er, hi again people... Sorry to interrupt :? I am thinking this single socket I removed was being fed off a 2 gang socket which in turn looks to be spurred from a socket. On closer inspection all sockets in the house have two lots of cables so looks like everything else is ok. The whole...

Even more confused now! :? So it looks as though it was a spur from a spur... Was that normal back in '95? It was a reputable local company who installed the electrics originally, may have been done later I guess... The 2 gang socket thats left has 1 red, 1 black plus earth and it...

Hi Got the installers 'Fusechart'... Ring 1 - 32 Amps Cable Size - 2.50mm CPS - 1.50mm RCCD Tripping time 30ma= 11m/s If it was the last socket on a radial would that be a problem?

Hi Just wanted an explanation if possible please? I have removed a single gang socket that was spurred off a 2 gang socket. The two gang socket now only has 1 red, 1 black & earth. Is this socket spurred if so how do I tell? The house was re-wired 15 years ago (previous owner) as I...

Thanks for all the help. As mentioned looks like the 'jaws' were not sharp enough to cut the cable sheath. All working now, both ADSL and phone :D Very much appreciated :mrgreen:

Guys thanks a million for trying to help us out all very much appreciated :) The socket is old, so not as sophisticated as your picture more like this...

Once again thank you very much for the replies. I am using a plastic terminator (supplied with an extension socket that I fitted in our previous house). I have connected Blue-2 Orange -5 still have ADSL and still no dial tone. Strange thing is when I was reconnecting with the socket and...

Some interesting, points here. Sorry for hijacking :o I have run Cat5 cable alongside the lighting cabling, 5m or so? The electrician who re-wired drilled through the joists for the electrics and I have simply passed the Cat5 through these holes? Is this wrong? Should I re run the Cat5...

Hi thanks for the reply. yes :) Only one socket and its the master... The Wiki is very helpful however, it seems to only relate to the new wiring colours?
