Yes, the current light is a strip light on the main RCD circuit (down stairs light ring i think). I was going to add the addtional cable to the light & run it back throught the roof/plaster board. Kinda like an additional branch. I dont want to add another switch or anything.

Can we stop bringing my DIY compentance in to the issue anyway. If I was a cowboy I wouldnt be on here asking you kind people about if its ok to be what I want. :)

A friend who is corgi registered help me with some copper pipe work. All work was checked & signed off. Apart from that minor explosion everythings been fine! :D

Well, I done electrics, gas, plumbing & joinery (all of which has been passed by inspectors in the past) so I think I will be ok. Anyway, I always stop & ask if I get stuck & I'm unsure on what to do. The cable joint for the addtional light will be behind plaster board. So, apart from the...

Pretty competent DIY'er (i think!) So, adding an additional light is ok then - no certificate then? I guess moving the current light a few feet is no problem at all.

The garage is part of the house. Not an extension either, its backs on to the kitchen. House is 15 years old.

I want to fit a new light in the ceiling in my garage. I'm going to move the existing one from the middle of the ceiling across so its about 1/3 way in & the new one I'm going to just come off the current light cable & fit the new light over at the other 1/3 of my garage. So, can I do this...

Thats what I thought. :lol: Never heard them call sheds though, rip off merchants - yes.

Sorry for my stupidity - but "in the sheds" ??? :?

I'm going to be putting up some plasterboard on to a partition wall. I was just wondering, what's the 'prefered' method of fixing plasterboard on to a wooden frame. Screw or nail? The issue I have is that I'm only putting up no more than 4 sheets of board & the screw packs come in packs of...

Good advice - thanks.

Right, I'm going to be building a stud wall in my garage. Its going to have a door in the middle & its going to be the sizes shown below in the drawing I mocked up below. Dimensions of drawing is CM Timber is going to be 3" x 2" (unless told otherwise!) Firstly, what’s the best...

The problem is that the drain pin is built into the nozzle. I cant undo it with a hose attached, so, i think i need to shut off the valve so that i can release/remove the pin, then open the valve once the hose has been attached. Just thought it was a odd having this design of drain valve.

I have a vented CH system in a small 3 bedroom house with 9 radiators. When I bled my radiators over the winter the water that came out was VERY black. So during the nice weather, I decided to drain the system down & add some Sentinel X400 to get rid of any gunge that might have accumulated...

ah thats good news - thanks for the info!

ok, this is weird. Its now started up again!! Didnt do anything, just came alive by its self. I was going to go up into the loft to see if there was a green light on the unit when my wife decided to press the button on the shower & it sprang to life!! Hope this isnt the start of a more...

Got a three year old Pumped Aqualisa Quartz Digital. Was working fine yesterday, went to take a shower this morning & is completely dead. The plumber who fitted in the loft installed a fused switch next to it so I've checked the fuse & its ok. The main fuse box hasnt tripped & when i do a...

@Simond I dont have any problems per-se. But i thought using the X400 would be a good idea to make sure that any build up in the pipes get dissolved & flushed away when i drain it the second time. @D_H Thanks for that - some really useful addtional tips.

Hi Guys, Right, just before Christmas, i bled some of my radiators & discovered that the water was very black (i have a conventional (Traditional) Boiler System). The last time the system was drained was in 2007 & this was done by a plumber who was taking out a radiator. So, I just...

Will do, thanks for the heads up! 8)
