Friends, My tiler has done a super job of tiling our bathroom and has used some mosaic tiles in a wetroom floor to tile up to a McAlpine metal shower gulley lid. He proposes to use grey Mapei ultra colour plus grout between the last mosaic tile and the metal McAlpine gulley lid. I would be...

People, I have one of these valces fitted under my bath:- http://www.screwfix.com/p/22mm-full-bore-isolating-valve/43961 It has been in place for around 3 years and is seized. When I try to turn it with a screwdriver the valve turns around 1/8 turn and then won't turn any more except...

Cheers guys and sorry for the tardy response. I will come in about 50mm from the corner. The cables will run around 1m down the wall from the ceiling

absolutely. A big thanks to all have contributed to this post. Apologies that the help wasn't actually needed

I should really have supplied a photo to help. They are now positioned either side of the front door (the toilet room is to the right hand side when you walk in and shower room to the left hand side)

the other half has won. I can now install these lights and cable in line with the regs. Many thanks for your assistance and patience. Paul

Wash your mouth out with soap John!! There would be two 1m vertical runs of either cable or some form of conduit both sides of my front door uurrgggh!!!

thanks guys, all comments greatly appreciated. Out of interest, is there such thing as a maintanance free earth clamp?? ie one that could be used to clamp to metal conduit but would be screwless?

thinking laterally, am I required to drill a hole at 90 degrees through a wall?? With a long drill bit I may be able to angle the cable through the wall so it came out withing 150mm from a corner. This will probably require an angle of around 45 degrees Once again, I will ask the...

somebody out there has to have this in their van?!?!

I'd be greatly appreciative if someone has around 8m. I could pay via a well known method or give a firm undertaking to pay say £15 to £20 to the charity of someones choice.
