Hi Nope, no plumbing. It’s been a nice dry day here, so perhaps they’ll leave us tonight.

Sorted.

Thanks. Yes, concrete floor. Do you mean damp course? Where would I find that? It’s v frustrating. I watched TV in conservatory until about midnight, checking the skirting and door frame like a hawk. I leave the room for five mins, and they’ve arrived. I think I’ll have to stay up all night to...

Sorry, forgot photo.

Thanks. Unfortunately, that’s not a possibility in our case.

Hi I know recent downpours have exacerbated slug situation, but we’ve had the odd one coming in for a while. Images show the areas where they appear, but not necessarily where they enter. You’ll see I used copper tape around door frame and between skirting and floor. (Some quite big gaps...

Hi One of the two conservatory doors (the one that opens second) is stuck. I’ve cleaned around it as much as I can, but no joy. Definitely sticking at the bottom. Is there a simple method to free up? Thanks

Ok. Thank you again, Going to utilise dp switch now, so hopefully good to go.

Thanks. Not going to need the separate neutral connection now, but for future ref: When you said above “need to join up neutrals, separate connection from switch etc”…Did you mean separate connector as still going from switch, but separate? (Conversely, separate from switch entirely?) You also...

I should have asked you to clarify “connect the neutrals together”… I’ve got another double pole switch lurking around somewhere, so will use that. It’s almost like neutral has been superseded by events in terms of connections in the new breed of switches.

Hi again Sorry for previous double post. (Looks like it hadn’t sent, then you have a duplicate!) Variation on a theme now. Previously had double pole one way, now have single pole two way. (Don’t need neon, as light will be in loft) I wanted a thin switch, and these all seem to be two way...

Just testing you.

Just testing you.

Thank you. Can’t recall why I bought a double pole switch all those years ago??

Cheers. I’m not as nimble as I used to be (eyesight also deteriorated) I’ve attached images to show connectors for the pull cord switch, the lights in loft and the cables going from the switch. The cable on left goes back to the “last ceiling rose” and the one on the right goes up to the first...

Hi About twenty years ago (before we had decent insulation, boards etc), I installed a pull cord switch and two lights in the loft. They’ve been great, considering the use they’ve had. However, due to having a new loft ladder fitted. the old pull cord switch needs to be positioned. I’ve had a...

Many thanks both. It’s a wooden concertina type. The door itself looks ok, but the surround has become marked. I thought if I was doing that, I’d have to do the door at the same time. Ta

Thanks. I was thinking gloss, as never used emulsion on wood.

Hi Have to paint loft door and surround. Apart from plenty of carpet protection, is there a knack for this? Thanks

Thanks. Seems a bit of a palaver for a screw for a sink no more than 6 years old?
