Thanks for your reply. Yes, fully under control of Building Inspector etc. It's all been done properly in that respect. I've yet to see the certificate. Will it be specific about what was tested?

I've just had a small extension built on my house. As part of the build, there's been new lights/sockets/switches etc added to my existing board. When the builder quoted for the job, he specified that all electrical work would be completed to a Part P standard. I assumed, wrongly, that this...

Did it work? I'm in a similar situation...

As subject... What are the chances of me removing a picture rail held on with Pink Grip without pulling plaster off the wall?

I wouldn't deny that. I'm big enough to own up to my mistakes. I suppose you wouldn't understand that as you've clearly never made one. You are hilarious though...

Thanks very much JohnD. :D

OK - makes sense. My gate opens inwards, so the hinge will go on the inside, hence my confusion about the square hole. So in my case, if the coach bolt goes on the inside, I will have bolts on the outside? Obvious question no.2 coming up... What's to stop someone coming along and unhooking the...

Thanks again! Is there a scratching head emoji?? I'd assumed the hinge would be on the inside of the gate, is this not the case?

You're hilarious!

Thanks. Would you recommend I hang the bottom one first then? WRT to coach bolt, why the square hole? The coach bolt would come through from the other side would it not? I'm confused by this.... :confused:

Are you for real? Did I request a lecture from a patronising know-it-all in my OP? No, I don't think I did.

Hi, I've recently bought some hinges for my garden gate. I set about hanging them this weekend and I'm a bit puzzled how I can get them to hand straight. Here's a pic of the hinge: The "band" fits very loosely on the "hook" and the gate will inevitably drop down because of this. I note...

Thanks Dad.

OK - so you have to switch the lights on, albeit via a remote? I can achieve that easily enough with an LED kit... That's not quite what I'm looking for... Yes, but I can't go into the lighting circuit now.... All lovely new plaster (yes I've left this a bit late, hence the specific...

Thanks for the replies.

Hello, New kitchen being fitted next week and I'd like some advice on plinth lighting options please. I'm looking at something like this which would come with a 24v transformer on the plug. My problem is how to control it as I don't really want to be switching the plug on and off all the time...

Sorry, I don't follow that. Are you saying if I have more than 10k BTUs on a length of purely 15mm pipe, I have a problem? If that's the case, I have several problems!

Thanks, the radiators do get hot and the hot water flow is fine also. We do seem to have quite high gas bills though which has always puzzled me. One of my concerns is that we have just added a loft conversion with en suite so the pipes go up another level and I imagine this could be an issue...

Hi, Six years ago we had a new central heating system installed in our home. We have a Vaillant 831 combi boiler feeding 10 radiators in our 3 bed/2 reception semi-detached. Recently, we've had some more work done that will ultimately require the boiler to be moved. When the builder who is...

Thanks very much, that's really useful info! How do you strap the first rows together?
