There is a 110 pipe coming out of the wall. As there is not enough coming out to get a female joint over it I was thinking of using the fin end of the extension to insert. Then attach a female bend to the large end of the extension which looks like the size of 110 pipe. Then I would insert a...

Hi, would the following pan extension fit into a 110mm 45 Degree Offset Female Socket (not the fin end)? The fin end will go inside 110mm pipe which is joined to the soil stack. Pan extension: http://www.wickes.co.uk/Wickes-White-Straight-Soil-Pan-Extension/p/431974 110mm Soil Bend 45...

Thanks for your reply. The pipe is not connected to any gas supply at the other end. The meter was originally in a cupboard under the stairs and has been moved outside as part of a metal pipe to plastic pipe upgrade. The boiler is now connected to the meter with pipe that runs outside the...

Thanks for replying. The plasterer dot and dabbed the pasterboard then applied what was quoted as two coat finishing plaster to the walls. The joins and scrim tape can be seen in places and cracks have already appeared at some of the join points in the walls. Could you explain a bit more...

Here is a diagram of the two switches the one on the left is the switch we currently use and the switch on the right is the proposed new switch. Is there any way that the new switch can be wired, if so how? Also if it can't can someone break down how the original switch works and possibly...

Thanks, I will take a photo as there is a fair few wires. I'll attach it to my post tomorrow.

Please help. I've got a two way switch downstairs which operates the hall light (1 pendant) and the other switch operates the upstairs landing lights (3 separate pendants). There is then a 2 way switch (I think see later) upstairs which also operates the same lights. Then there is a switch...
