The decking was on its way out and needed replacing but it was safe for a good 6 months when we'd have the money saved to sort it. We're now having to replace it with part of the kitchen money. We still owe him £1400

We expected some remedial work so we decided to get the rewire done and windows fitted before we did any decorating.

In all honest, I expected the new sockets and switches going back into the holes the old ones were in. I told him to do minimal damage to the walls but I could patch up small bits. But I told him not to damage the ceilings because of the pattern and there was no room in the budget to get walls...

Hi, We've just has our recently purchased house rewired due to issues regarding previous owners' bodge work and undisclosed mice infestation. We hired a qualified electrician who was recommended by the window fitter that's going to be doing for some work for us. All of the walls are just...

Hi, The corner of my kitchen has been rounded off since I bought the house 12 years ago. I'm going to the expense of renovating downstairs. I've done the bathroom so its now onto the kitchen. I was told by someone that the rounded corner in the kitchen could be ventilation for an old stove and...

Thanks for the help. Its greatly appreciated. Would I be able to put an outside light on the 3rd switch? Just a basic waterproof one with a normal energy saving bayonet cap bulb in it? Or would that have to go on its own in the fuse box as its outside? Or uld it put too much load on he circuit...

Thanks for that. I've been looking at the socket on my kitchen wall as once the bathroom work is done, I'm moving onto the kitchen. The kitchen switch is a 2 gang switch. One switch controls the kitchen light and the other controls the light between the kitchen and bathroom. Inside the socket...

I took the old pull switch down from the bathroom as it was in a mess. I'm moving the switch to outside of the bathroom on the wall as a standard 1 gang wall switch. Inside the old pull switch was 2 red, 2 black and 2 bare (sleeved green) cables. One red (I marked it with black marker when I...

I'm going through the same thing. I'm replacing the windows in the kitchen and bathroom with smaller ones and getting the gaps bricked up. It was when I called a builder out to look at it, he mentioned Building Control. I called my local council who were very helpful. They said if the builder is...

http://www.toolstation.com/shop/p34397Hi, I am looking at replacing the ceiling rose in my bathroom (downstairs in the extension) with downlights. I'm installing 4 x 5w LED COB IP65 lights in there. My existing light has 3 wires going into it - red, black and green. I know these are live...

Hi, The corner of my kitchen is rounded off for some reason. I've recently had a new boiler fitted and the gas engineer seemed to think that the corner of the kitchen at one time housed a stove. The kitchen has always been built around the rounded corner but we would like to knock it through to...
