To be honest I do understand everything you have just mentioned, the circuit is on the original downstairs 6amp breaker and is rcd protected. With regards to what I'm doing, your correct, I'm not a qualified electrician, but have been doing general electrics for 20years, not my main...

Thanks guys, I see where I've messed up now. With regards to switch in neutral this was just the way I quickly drew it it is actually the other way round.

Thanks for you help, still not sure how I can resolve this as it all been rendered in the wall so can't re cable. I've attached a diagram of what I've done [/img]

Hi, wondered if anyone could help with an outside lighting problem? I've run a 1.5 t&e from the fuse board (down stairs lights) to the first light outside, I've connected the brown to live and the other brown that gos to the next light to the natural, leaving the two blue cables together in a...

No I didn't, did cross my mind at the time to varnish it, just stupidly never, it's a durapal black brazil gloss worktop so not sure any edging would look good.

Recently I put in a good quality worktop and the customer wanted a butler sink, so had to router the worktop to over hang the sink, I finished it of with the laminate trim which I stuck on with contact adhesive and colour fill. The problem is that the cut edge is beginning to swell a bit and...

Many thanks.

Hi noseall, I have done what you have recommended, could you tell me if what I've done is correct. The level is 1800 long and the vertical measurement is 320. There's two ways in doing it as far as I can see 320 divide 1800 = 0.17777777777778 then press tan-1 = 10.080597 Or 1800...

It's a downstairs toilet, has a big sash window but wouldn't say it has a lot of direct sunlight if any. Will be laying it on 18mm WBP ply.

Hi, I'm laying karndean and been offered two different adhesives, first one you have to wait for the adhesive to go tacky once troweled before laying flooring and the second you lay wet?? What is best?

Hi EFLImpudence, thanks for your help, does this mean that it can be linked in to the original lighting circuit ( as long as it doesn't exceed the wattage) or is it better to create its own circuit from the DB board?

Hi, I'm helping a friend put a lighting display up in his shop where we are hanging loads of pendants that will hang at different lengths but was wondering how many would be advised of off one switch from a 6amp breaker? We are looking to put in about 20 bulbs. 40 or 60watt bulbs? Is the...

Hi, I have a job were rain water is leaking through a crack on a rendered wall. the house is half brick with the top half render, previously someone has removed an outside lath and plaster wall due to it falling apart but didn't remove the bottom 6" which is the slopping drip above the lower...

The brass one looks fine but still no on/off cord

Hi, yeah got your edited post just as I sent my last one, that's kind of what I'm looking for but that doesn't look like you can attach a lamp shade to it, and why does it have a threaded insert on top as I will need the cable to go from that to the rose on the ceiling. Can't believe you've...

Hi, thanks for the quick response, that's what I'm looking for but with a pull cord built in so it hangs below the shade as I'd rather not have a switch on the wall. Is that what you mean by a cord grip? If so how does that connect?

Hi, was wondering wether anyone could help, I'm putting two hanging lamps either side of the bed from the ceiling and have been looking for a ceiling pendant that has a built in on/off cord, I know these have been available before but can't seem to find any on line. Thanks

The roof is made of 6x2 timber joists not just a alley or plastic frame so is not like I'm just putting a whole new roof on as only the plastic sheets will be removed The timber conservatory needs replacing as is rotting around the bottom after 25 years so makes sense to use upvc and I thought...

Sorry should of made my self clearer , I'm replacing all old timber frame with upvc as old conservatory is rotting, and also replacing roof with tiles, celotex, plasterboard etc as we want to make it a more useable room as its too hot in summer and bloody freezing in winter. There isn't any...
