Hi I’m installing a new column radiator in kitchen to replace a 600*500 rad. However it’s going to block the main light switch, 2 way lighting (other switch near side door, never used) I’m thinking do away with the 2 way lighting and relocate the main switch on the opposite side of the wall it’s...

Sorry only just looked at pic, always thought the inner course of block needed to be higher; could be wrong though

Did an extension over my garage with a hip roof, wall plate on block inner with straps every metre I think. The brick outer skin is a coarse of brick lower than the inner so the trusses miss it, is yours level? Been a while since I did it but that’s what is remember

With ya Taylor, didn't think of that. So forget the alexa switch unless they do a fcu 1 hhhmmm. I'll have a look but probably not. Would prefer alexa because they switch is near patio doors in front room and kitchens at the side of the house Decided to clad the wall half way all way round so...

Hi all, wanting to put external wall lighting on rear and side of my house. Currently have a switched fcu for a outdoor floodlight so planning on swapping this for a alexa switch to run 3 lights on rear and 3 on side of property for trips to bin at night time ect.... I don't really want to use...

If it was mine I would of had the grey done anyway but it's not. Probably would of been OK if she hadn't used grit salt on it in the winter also. I'm in contact with a company who sell sealant online so I'll see what they recommend. Personally can't see a problem with just cleaning the best I...

Yes John both next to each other. Basically just fed both plugs up into the double socket above worktop for now. But at the weekend will take a spur from said socket down and to a cupboard and install a double socket for both to plug into then. Thankyou mate. Think I was just over thinking...

So just take a spur from double socket into a single socket in a cupboard next to drier and plug into that? ......the next problem is I have a small chest freezer. That was also in same extension lead. Would I do same from the next socket on circuit...take a spur and into single socket again...

Is it good practice to take a 13amp fused spur from a double socket in circuit in my kitchen to hard wire my tumble drier? Some absolute nob head had it plugged into a extension lead under kickboard into a single socket. Thinking of getting rid of the single socket and using Junction box. Then...

Thanks for the advice. I've now decided to get a firm in to do it. If it was just a single story window I'd give a go but nah too much for me.
