Hi All, We plan on having a window in a bathroom with no existing window. It is on the 1st floor. The outside wall is above the garage roof which is tiled and an apex so not flat. We only need a smallish window as you can imagine there is no light and we have those annoying energy saving...

Hi thanks for advice, I looked at some wood and sure 3x 2 will be fine also the 9.5mm plasterboard feels strong enough, looking at doors now as this will determine a lot. Slidingdoors not wanted so found some white would effect from bandq for around 20 to 30 pounds, though reading reviews they...

Sorry I put my hand up it was my mistake, looks like I will need to come from an existing power socket from lounge? I will get a sparky in just thought I would make a route for cable to save time, also need to check with wife if its ok to have some trunking in the bathroom!

Try this sorry!

Hi, We recently had a cupboard made under our stairs , not standing height just for coats and shoes etc, but is difficult to see without a light, planned to have maybe a simple pendant light, but my question is can we use cabling from existing light switch which is used for the hallway so...

Hi, We have a small alcove area were the corridor ends adjacent to 2 doors which is about 3 feet wide the width of the corridor. Similar to an area between a fireplace. As its a bit of dead space we plan to add some shelves. I fancy tackling this myself and wondered the best way to construct...

Hi All, I have a standard pendant light near loft hatch which gets a bit in the way so I would like to swap for a spot light so its surface mounted is this easy to do as I will have a live, neutral and earth, that I can just fit to the spot light. It is only a small area to light so does not...

Hi, I recently had a carpenter make a cupboard in the void under my stairs but the space is a bit dark. A toilet occupies the space at highest point under stairs so the cupboard is between toilet and bottom of stairs so only about 1m an a bit long. I think a mains powered will be too much as...
