I'm sorry - I cant understand your question.....?

I think you can just about make one of them out on that picture, but overall they didnt lend themselves to laying ontop of the insulation. I suppose, in theory, I could rewire the whole lot.....! They have been buried under piles of rubbish, including felt, for decades. Most of it is now on...

Thanks both. Dont worry, I have a huge overhang at the front of the house (pictured) and there is over a foot of ventilation that side. The other sides all have plenty too. I dont have any felt under the tiles so loads of ventilation there too. As for needing more insulation, there is already...

Before: After: :)

Thanks for your posts!

Hi all, We're looking at a light fitting which has several G4 10w bulbs in it. What is this the equivalent of in a standard wattage 'old fashioned' bulb? Its just so we get an idea of brightness.... Thanks.

I think I might have to.

Excellent, thats exactly it. I'm going to have this vertical as the wall is particularly narrow. Looking at where the screw holes are on that, if I were to buy a standard 1g switched socket and a TV aerial socket they would both be on their 'sides'. Can you buy sockets where the screw holes are...

Thanks to all replies and for the smile a few of them have raised. This is going to be on a plasterboard wall - what type of backbox would I need for that? I've only ever worked on solid brick/block walls!!!!!

Thanks for the quick reply. I couldnt see anything specific on their site, but I do think the person I'm looking for this product for is keen for it to be switched! I guess there is nothing out there in that case.

Hi all, Asking on behalf of a relative, is there such a product that combines both a 1g switched socket along with a traditional TV aerial socket? For exampe the following combined into one product...

I havent noticed anything like that but it doesnt make a real mess when being cut anyway.

I have recently bought (and am currently laying) the npower rockwool product. http://www.npower.com/web/diyloftinsulation/index.htm Its probably one of the best value products out there.

Thanks for replies. Its a good solid door but had previously been sealed up in the wall, hence its state at the moment and the fact it has paint scraped off etc. Once I've got the doorframe and woodwork off completely I will be able to measure the thickness of the wall and see if its...

Yes I had considered this but have decided on the method I have mentioned above so am looking for advice along these lines. Thanks.

Thanks. Still looking for sensible replies!

Its not that wonderful but considering it matches the other 6 in the house I want to keep it if possible!

Firstly I hope this is in the right forum...... I am removing a fairly new stud wall that divides our living and dining room. Because of this we want to seal up one of the doorways, at the living room end. My doorway walls are brick and so are quite deep as you would expect. My plan is to...

I'm no expert (I'm only here to get advice myself) but I am also insulating my loft this week and although my tank is not raised I have noted that, as you said, it should not have insulation placed underneath. Your idea about creating what you describe as a 'tunnel' around the bottom of the tank...

Thanks for your post. I think that just by coincidence the shower power cable has enough slack to just sit ontop of the insulation, but the same cannot be said about the majority of the wires. Until this week much of the joists and cables were buried under a mountain of old felt for what has...
