Hi I've had a look and the light fitting only had L/N/e connections so looks like ill need to get a chocblock? I've read the wiki but to be honest I'm confused and will need to figure out which wire is which.

Thanks for the pointers, I'll take a look after work. Appreciated!

Hi All Wondered if you can offer some advice. My security light no longer works after a friend helped and installed a new light fitting in my dining room. The switch for the security light is in the dining room, and nothing has changed in regards to the actual switches themseleves. The...

Thank you I've ordered one

Think I have got to the bottom of this, my neighbours have a storm collar on their flue, I dont. So water is leaking between the lead flashing and flue. I am going to seal around the flue, and instakll a storm collar. Thing is the size of the required collar. I am going to measure the...

It's an extractor fan in the ceiling with the pipe running up the loft and into the roof. It's a about two metres away from the flu to its left

Ps yea there's extraction

Thanks, I'm not sure what pipe work would be there without attempting to get further to the roof and looking down. Although I can only see the flu and not sure what other pipes could be there? Any ideas what there could be?

Thanks for the reply, the flu is in operation but not been used for a while. The ensuite is partly tiled, the actual shower cubicle is fully. But the rest us tiled half way up. However it is a about one and a half meters away from the damp patch. I wondered if condensation was collecting...

hello I am replacing a light switch, but hit some confusion. In the old switch it had a pair of red wires in common, and a red in "1" and nothing in "2" In my new switch theres a hole with no marking, than a L1 and L2. I thought I would put the pair in the hole thats unmarked, and the...

Thanks a lot!

Hi yes there's space above in the loft. I'll clear out the cupboard and get the ladders out to look at the pull chord switch. My first concern was would it be safe to Put the switch on the mdf side of the cupboard. With the back box screwed into it. Guess there's a way of building a...

Ok I wired the fitting myself. It's a bar with three spotlights. Wired with live neutral and an earth. Is that what you mean?

Hi I have a pull chord inside my overstairs cupboard, as the previous owners knocked the box room into the adjoining room. Id like to put a switch on the outside of the cupboard by running a cable on the inside (cover with ducting?) and cut a hole through the wood so i can put a one gang...
