Thanks alot for your reply!

Hi all, I am planning on installing several 3 gang sockets in our living / dining room. They have integral 13amp fuses. I am wondering- - Why do the 3g sockets have fuses and the 2g dont? - Do 3g sockets have a smaller load capacity? - I assume most domestic appliances would not...

Not sure yet. For some reason I am really busy with work... booked up for the next 10 years!

Deal :oops:

I'll PM you for address and to arrange a start date. One thing... will bin bags be supplied? If not then my profit margin is a bit tight. ;)

I recently cleared my loft of old junk and disgusting old insulation. I put it all into bin bags up there and brought them down. I must have had around 30 or 40 giant bin bags full. And it all went out for the dustmen over the course of a few weeks... Total cost for clearing and disposal...

Come back in 200 years and let us know if there were any problems?

Yes, its still in use, at least one flue my side and at least one next door.

I'd probably be more worried if they all said they wanted to charge me for a rebuild that may not be needed!!! But thanks for opinion.

Thanks for thre post. 2 quotes later and not even a mention of a rebuild. I'd have thought if that was necessary they would want the bigger job of a rebuild rather than repointing and replacing a few bricks....!

Well I'm in a 2 story semi if he meant that. If he meant how high is it, the counting bricks idea seems good! Anyway after a few phonecalls I have various companies booked for opinions/quotes. No doubt they will range from a bit of repointing right up to knocking the whole house down and...

I'm down south on the Isle of Wight. I really couldnt say how high it is... I cant get any closer than the ground as I havent got a large ladder yet. tim00 - thanks for the post. As it is a shared chimney I have already contacted my neighbour about the problem we have. With regards to...

Another picture (you can clearly see the birds have made a nice home in the side).

From the photo would you say a rebuild was necessary? What would be the approximate cost? I'll try and put a couple more pics up today.

Hi all. We moved into our 1930's semi house in 2009 and have been concerned about the chimney. The pointing has failed, as you can see, in parts and this has allowed birds to start nesting in the chimney stack (possibly in the old 'sealed-off' breast that used to run down into the dining...

Thanks all. I'll certainly be selling it!

Haha, thanks for replies. Glad to know I have a quality item.

Hi all. I'm in the process of clearing out alot of stuff and selling what I can. I came across this which had been left by the previous owners. I dont want to sell it for £5 if its worth more, so can anybody advise on the approximate age of the light or if it is worth anything ie to somebody...

The vast majority of the cables are on the lighting circuit. The only place where there are a few power cables thrown in is above the bathroom and (because of this) the insulation is 'bitty' as you cant just lay a big roll down without having to go under or around cabling. But as you have...

Only some of the cables have been buried, and no significant parts of any big cables such as the electric shower. When I say 'buried', I mean some parts of them have a bit of insulation over them as opposed to a mountain of old felt and decades worth of dust and dirt etc.... so the term...
