Get an electrician in, you can't do any electrical work in your bathroom or kitchen.

No problem I'll put the first FCU onto the ring and then spur off that. With regard to the underfloor heating being protected by an RCD will the fact that all my ring mains for power sockets are protected by an RCD 30mA at the consumer unit or will I have to get an RCCB fitted for the ring...

The first FCU is spured off the ring, is it OK to have another FCU spured off the 1st one because I would like the switch each on/off independently.

Thanks for the replies. The underfloor heating is only 200w and the heated towel rail is 150w so no problem with loading. Although I don't think you quite get what I mean. I am going to have 2 fused switched outlets but I would like to take the live and neutral from the 1st one (before it passes...

Hi, I am going to get an electrician in to make the connections for electric underfloor heating I am installing in my bathroom. There is already a heated towel rail installed that is powered from a fused spur in the bedroom. Would it be OK to take the power from this fused spur to...

Yes that seems quite cheap, screwfix are selling it for £26 all in, although there was the confusion of how much tape was supplied. I got a reply from Dunlop with the datasheet for the product and they all come with 5m of tape, 3kg of waterproof coating and 400ml of waterproofing primer. This...

I only have a shower to do but 3 sides need to be done, so x2 800m and 1x1200mm. I've sent an e-mail to Dunlop to see if their tuns come in differnt sizes because £26 from screwfix seems like a good price even if I have to buy 2.

D1nhs, yes thats what I was worried about. Screwfix stating that only 1m of tape being supplied doesn't seem right. I am fitting a 1200x800 tray so need 3m of tape just for the edge of the tray let alone the tape required for the 2 corners of the wal

Thanks gcol. Do you know if the tubs come in different sizes, Screwfix sell a 3Kg tub for £26 but states it only has 1m of tape which doesn't seem very much. Other sites don't state the tub or tape length at all.

Hi, I am in the process of having my ensuite done and have been researching the best way to waterproof the shower area. I have found a Dunlop product that is quite a bit cheaper than the Bal equivalent: http://www.bal-adhesives.co.uk/dunlop/index.html The demonstration show that the...

The transformers are these from screwfix: http://www.screwfix.com/app/sfd/cat/pro.jsp?id=48058&ts=45406 and the dimmer is this: http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Main_Index/Wiring_Accessories_Menu_Index/Wiring_Accessories~Dimmers_All/Wiring_Accessories~Dimmers_5_Satin_Chrome/index.html So I...

Hi, I have some ELV downlighters fitted in a bedroom, they are switched by a dimmer. When the lights are turned on there is a strange noise ( like a slow whistle for want of a better phrase). When the lights are off there is also a faint noise although it doesn't appear to be coming from...

Thanks that great no need for an RCBO or a RCD FCU then, that saves some expense and also the fact that RCD FCU's are pretty ugly and it would have to be situated in my bedroom.

Hi, I am going to get an electrician to install the thermostat for my electric underfloor heating in my ensuite. I think the requirement is that the thermostat should be connected via a RCD fused spur, but a normal FCU can be used if the ringmain is protected by an RCD. My main fuse box is...

Hi, I am thinking of fitting electric underfloor heating in my ensuite. I want to do as much of the work as possible myself. With respect to part P regulations what will I have to get an electrician in for and what can I do myself. i.e can I lay the underfloor matting leave the...

Hi, I am going to install a new shower tray into my ensuite the width of the ensuite is slightly less than 1200mm but the originally installed tray was a 1200mm tray that had been cut into the walls, therefore I can't accesss underneath the tray from any direction. I want to install a...

Hi, I am going to install a pressure reducing valve immediatley after my main stopcock, mainly because after having a combi fitted and my upstairs going onto mains pressure the shower makes the water pipes very noisey. Has anyone any recommendations on the best valves to buy or is there...

Hi, I am thinking of having ceramic floor tiles laid in my ensuite. Is it OK to fit a toilet pan directly onto the floor tiles to make a neater finish or are the tiles likely to crack under the weight. thanks

Thanks for that, most helpful. As I've already wasted my time should I waste some more time and seal the tiles.

Hi, I jet washed a portion of my concrete tiled roof to get rid of some moss and lichen a few months back. fed up with people saying when are you going to do the rest of the roof I have now reluctantly cleaned the rest of the roof with a jet washer. I know that companies who do this sort...
