Thanks for that. Ill add a socket in the loft and plug it in :) i like things simple 8)

What do most people do about wiring in boosters? Most people I talk too seem to have one in the loft plugged into a socket there and leave it switched on, is this safe? Whats the most ideal way of wiring in a booster?

BTW = By The Way

thanks for the replies :) good to know these things!

More questions Im afraid. Reading one of the posts here that said not to have cabling in cavity walls which are insulated and following on from this I would like to check a few things with you guys. Currently I have the cables going to my light switches running in the cavity wall, only...

what about wool carpets?

Sorry for asking if this has already been asked but couldnt see it anywhere. What type of underlay is best used with a concrete floor? Looking for a comfy floor and as much insulation as possible :) all going to be carpeted with reasonable carpet (£35+ per meter), will be fitted in the...

Thanks for that, just the information I was looking for. Looks like my mcb would trip if all my lights were on each with a 100w bulb, only just mind. so should be fine with that :)

Just wanted to check something with you guys, My lighting circuit is on a 6amp circuit am I right in assuming my lights should come under 1380w in total? Is there a % considered used? as you are unlikely to have every light on. Also if you are using energy saver bulbs I take it they are...

In which case ill use the socket idea as I have a redundant fcu (off the socket circuit) in there from an old dimplex heater that was removed. will put a note inside the fcu saying it is on the socket circuit for future refence. Thanks for the help

Thats a fair point, Just asking as I was looking at fitting a shaver socket and its just as easy to take either circuit to it, single storey bathroom with both sets of cable pasing over it, shaver socket would be zone 3. So if you had a choice would it still be best to go for lighting...

is there any reason why not to install it from the main socket ring rather than the lighting circuit?

this has turned into an odd thread... But thanks for the information its just what I was after, definatly worth the extra money for the extra piece of mind :)

Is it possible to get this stuff? if so where? For some reason there is no cable with my new hob, it recomends using a 32amp rated round cable and has a round hole for it to fit through. No where I look sells it, they all seem to sell the flat cable. Its just to go between the hob and...

I wouldnt be so worried if it was just flaking paint, the soffits are crumbling at the edges :shock: And yes it was a full structural survey, the whole reason we had one done was to check for any pitfalls. I will sort out a proper check to make sure it is what I hope it isnt and then...

I'll pass on the blow torch idea.... thanks all the same :P I will try and get some photos done tonight but its definatly not wood, seems to be a whitish compressed cement type thing.... Bungalow is an ex council built around 1950ish If it is the dreaded asbestos I take it its a lot...

Hello all, It looks as if I may need to replace the soffits soon as they appear to be crumbling away where they meet the fascia (looks like someone covered this up with tape and then painted over..) How much work is involved in replacing them? also is there anyway to tell what material...

Thanks chris, your help is appreciated :D will get on with installing the worktop and sink then

lucky me? thats not what I was saying yesterday trying to level kitchen units.... another story mind. Pretty sure there will be air trapped there but cant tell yet as the sink/taps are yet to be fitted. Originally these pipes fed a washing machine before it was removed, since then the...
