Over the years I have tiles a few floors and bathroom walls but have never used Mosaic tiles. Are they much more difficult to install? I assume the Mosaic is mounted to a plastic or linen mesh? I have 4 walls, 3 corners and a window sill and reveal to tile. I use an electric tile cutter which...

Thanks for your help. I have fitted both worktops, sink, taps and connected it all up. Just got the 2 edge trims to stick on which are being delivered Wednesday, then the tiling.

Which is the best type of contact adhesive to use? Both are suitable for wood and laminate. Evo-stik Impact multi purpose 250ml in a tin, drying time 2 minutes. Evo-stick Impact 30 g in a tube, drying time 10 minutes.

Thanks for the help. The worktop is 38 mm thick. The shop where I bought the worktop did not have the end strip in stock, it is due to be delivered on Wednesday. I fitted the worktop today and assumed the edge strip would also be 38 mm thick but from reading your post I see it might not be and...

Do you need to apply the contact adhesive to the cut end of the worktop and the trim?

Thanks for the reply. I will use contact adhesive then. So I assume I wont need to apply clear silicone to the end I am going to use the contact adhesive on?

I am fitting new laminate kitchen worktops, instructions say to use worktop contact adhesive to stick the edge trim onto the exposed chipboard. is that the best stuff to use? Elsewhere it also says, "It is recommended that any cuts, joins or exposed chipboard are re-sealed using clear silicone...

I have had the dri-eco heat HC running for over 5 weeks now on flow rate 2. I am pleased with the results so far. Because it has been cold I have not had the windows open in January or February, not needed to. Now as the outside temperature warms up I would normally open the lounge and bedroom...

Many thanks for the reply. Good point, in Summer when the loft heats up and the PIV goes into standby mode, it could still come on at night which would be enough to keep the air inside the bungalow fresh and moving about. Like you, I have solid concrete floors (storage heating) and had not...

Thank-you for the detailed post which I have only just seen. I went for a PIV with heat with controls in the diffuser. Installed it myself and paid an electrician to wire it into the socket ring. The windows in all the rooms of this 2 bed bungalow would be soaking wet top to bottom in the...

Thanks for the reply. I believe the board is circa 1988. It did not trip out at all. After wiring up the fan everything was running fine, he was packing up his tools and I was folding up the dust sheets and he wanted to show me the circuit breaker he had installed it on and then he pressed the...

Thank-you PrenticeBoyofDerry, After going into 3 electrical outlets yesterday and asking about the Proteus RCD one shop told me of the CEF connection so I did e-mail them yesterday with pictures. Awaiting reply. It has not failed yet. Before he left he pointed out that the RCD is only in...

Excellent, I'll see if he will take part exchange.

Thanks for the reply. Actually you are right, it is a quarter turn thing. As you say it is probably not important. I was thinking ahead and if I sell this property in future it might be picked up by a picky buyer or surveyor. I took the front plastic cover off to take the photos. I do not plan...

I was hoping to find a new, old stock RCD not second hand. You are correct, I would not be able to test it.

You were right, the Electrician wired up the fan and tested the all the sockets on the same ring main. I will get the MEIWC at the weekend via email. He did mention that if the RCD in the attached picture failed I would not be able to get one and would need a new consumer unit. Do you know if I...

Last week I had an electrician look at the job and he gave me a quote, I asked if when completed he could give me some paperwork to show that it was completed to current regulations as if and when I sell this property I will need it for the purchaser. He said if he issues a certificate he needs...

Thanks for the reply Spark123.

I have fitted an extractor fan in my bungalow kitchen and am going to pay an electrician to wire it up. What paperwork do I need to get from the electrician when he has finished the work?

The thing is I read that when the humidity level is higher outside than it is inside that is not a good idea to do. The outside humidity now is 100% and inside 69%, so opening windows allows more humid air inside. Today there was no condensation on the windows, that is usually the case when it...
