We have had new kitchen fitted, the fridge is now going to rest again the wall where a current BT (which we do use) phone socket is located. We need to recess the socket back to the wall, are there blanking sockets available (the width is 6.5cm). We have plenty of other BT socket so...

thanks guys, i'll check the whole loop this weekend.

that's great, thanks for the thorough explanation. the wires near the light are two aerial cables, the black cable was the sky connection running under the carpet. i'll read through the post in more detail and do what you suggest. the setup was installed before the previous occupant...

okay thanks, i'll take that as a yes then :D

sorry, you mean all light switchs that are causing the flicker? ie the wall switches?

i can see two output wires by the tv area but cannot see an input areas for the other five cables. does surround sound operate on only two output cables?

our hall light flickers very ocassionally when turning on the bathroom light (the hallway light being on at the time), this is also happening occasionally when turning on the loft strip light that is installed. all three switches are within a few meters of each other. is there anything...

The old occupants of our current house had Sky multiroom. The Sky cables are running from the dish, through the loft to a socket in the bedroom that looks like this http://images.marketplaceadvisor.channeladvisor.com/hi/68/68411/xwp2c.3.jpg any idea what cable i need to connect to a sky...

thanks, how many connect to the surround sound system? there are three cables near the tv point (the obvious place). two speaker looking cables and one other that i dont recognise. behind the setee there are more cables but i cannot see where they connect.

We've recently moved into a new house. Apparently there are already surround sound cables installed as well as two additional speaker connected from the living room to the spare room. Can't make heads nor tales of the setup, has anyone got any ideas? (see pictures attached).

another question. have noticed that we have a airbrick on the bottom side of the house. there's an airbrick on the outside but the area inside the house is papered. the paper by that area is coming away from the wall. should the airbrick have access all the way through to the inside? i'm...

We're trying to move into a new house in the Halesowen area. We've had a survey of the new property. One of the issues raised is that the central heating system needs to be replaced. This isn't an issue as we could see this from our viewings. However subsequent to this the flue pipe...

just signed the waiver, it was confirmation that the builders had followed building regulations.

About 10 years ago a builder removed a non supporting wall from our old 30's semi. At the time the builder claimed , that as the wall was non supporting, that planning permision was not required. We've now come to sell the house but are being asked for proof of planning permission...

no that's great, just checking how big a job it is so no worries.

We're buying a house. We're in the survey stage at the moment and the survey highlighted an inadequate number of airbricks in the property. Any idea who we can get to install airbricks, is it any type of builders or something more specific?

Yeh, I'm trying to avoid any "Safestyle" type of selling. Complete tossers if you ask me.

Hi, has anyone here used any companies within the Birmingham area to fit a conservatory / porch that they would recommend. i'm after a few quotes but want to try to stick to companies that are recognised. Thanks in advanced.

thanks. managed to get hold of a selco trade number and found one in there.

Hi, I need a new garden gate. Have tried B&Q, Wickes etc but they only stock gates that are 3 feet wide. Our gate needs to be 2.5 feet wide. Does anyone know of any stockists within the Birmingham area? Have tried searching on the internet but am struggling to find anyone. Thanks.
