The tray isn't very visible in the photo the weep holes are visible though if you look.

I know there is a tray because I can see one and you can see the weep holes in the photo. When you say relaying, do you mean taking the top layer off completely and putting same bricks back on. Those bricks aren't available anymore to buy new. How big of a job is that versus just repointing...

There is a tray. I plan to seal the brick wall with something like climashield masonry protection cream.

In the photo "above window" you can see the top of the window.

Hi, I have a parapet wall which never had any coping on it. It has been leaking and now leaking into room below over the windows. I plan to install some metal coping over a plywood base. It seems there was a DPC installed under the top layer of bricks ( the vertical bricks in the photo). Not...

If it's a good idea to add a DP switch then I'm happy to go along with it. Just want to confirm, is there is any issue with the 0.75mm flex in my circuit.

Thanks. Are you saying I need the fused connection because of the cable size on a 10A circuit? If I go for a 1.00mm or larger cable would that be better ?

There are a lot spots in the house alright, mostly now with LED bulbs but house was built 20years ago. There is already a standard light switch installed inside for the lights, I was just planning to connect the lights.

Only what's in the photo

Correct, apologies I realise now it's in wrong forum.

This is my electrical panel - am I correct in thinking these are 10amp circuits ?

Hi, I have a cable hanging down outside the house from under soffit for outdoor lights but no lights were ever fitted until now. I want to attach 3x 20 W LED floods to this cable spread along the width of house - approx 15m. The shop I bought the lights in gave me an off cut of 0.75mm H05RN...

It's the piece spanning the width of the glass directly under the glass. Each side of the window had a wooden bead but on the bottom that piece is metal not wood. It's slightly greyish brown in colour. It's not a solid piece seems to be L Shaped to carry water out away from the frame. Question...

I am getting some Cedar cladding installed around a timber framed window.The window has a metal strip or bead along the bottom edge. This will not be wide enough to bring any rain water out over the cladding. Are these metal beads easy to remove - I tried but couldn't. The carpenter has put a...

The boiler is a Vokera Mynute 12e. The only temperature control i have is a myson TCV on the hot water supply to the cylinder. There is no wired temperature control on the hot water. The only control that is wired is the actuator on the radiator isolation valve which is ocnnected to the hall...

Thanks, I don't mind getting an electrician, i just want a simple solution that works, even if that simple solution means getting an electrician that's fine. Although I could replace a spur with a switch I'm sure, I just wouldn't be sure about some of the other solutions suggested in the thread...

I could if that was an acceptable way to do it electrically. I don't know much about electrics so I wouldn't know the implications of changing the spur to a single socket - would there be any issue with doing that?

Thanks but I am not talking about immersion, I am talking about the gas boiler.

About 15 years old, apartment, basic system. Smart socket sounds good, but is there much difference between that and the option as per video in previous post by @ianmcd I would still need to wire a plug to go to boiler? I use a tp-link smart plug already for some lights, could I get another...

Thanks I like the solution but it would be beyond my wiring skills. Maybe I could get an electrician to do it for me.
