Hiya, thank you for reading this :-) I'm at the point of needing to confirm with my electrician if we want a 2.5mm ring or 4mm radial circuits putting in. I'm leaning towards the 4mm radials. The only thing I'm not sure about is whether (where there is the option to have either) opting to have...

Crikey!! You guys are having a conversation that is going well over my head!! You clearly know your stuff so I'm just gonna do what you've suggested and not worry about it :-) thank you so much again!!

I've got my plan - I'm going to try out that rachet screwdriver and an electric one (I have lots of old, unused sockets I can experiment on and destroying and I'll wear goggles!! :-) ) and then do as RobinBanks suggested for the more inconvenient sockets. Perfect!! Thank you so, so much everyone...

For £5, I'm happy to try it!! Thank you!!

I'm embarrassed about that typo! Thank you for your help with this!! I was thinking to use this method for all my sockets (about 40), so I presume it wouldn't then be wise to run a spur from one of these sockets (which would be fine) - just checking :-)

Sorry, yes - 2am typo. I'm going to go back and check as it was late so I might have missed something

I was researching this late (this is my a disclaimer - I was pretty tired so could have missed something, Thank you!! I really appreciate your help

Hiya, thank you for reading this! I'm struggling more and more to strip cable - I have been using a utility knife and the CPC method but I've seen YouTube videos for automatic strippers. I'm hoping for a recommendation for strippers that are very well suited for doing 4mm2 stranded t&e cable as...

I'll give it a whirl! I'm also researching putting wagos in instead - thank you for that suggestion! Thank you very much, everyone!! I very much appreciate your help That's interesting :-) thank you, glad I'm looking at the right thing. On some of the forums folks are saying that feeding 3...

Is it a "pigtail" if I'm googling? All Americans making these videos so far ... Need someone using an English socket...

I know a fair few DIYers - I'll ask to see if I can get my hands on one to experiment :-) Re your wago suggestion - do you know of a YouTube video I could watch on this, please? I can't picture what you mean fully but it sounds awesome being able to use wagos and doing the bulk of the job...

I'm googling!!...

Ah, ok - I've never used an electric screwdriver so thank you for the heads up. What about a rachet screwdriver, would they be better on the wrist, please? (Been googling different types of screwdriver!)

That would explain why I can't find it!! Aw, thank you!!

Hiya, I've just accidentally purchased a drum of 4mm stranded - bah! Anyone know where I can get solid wire 4mm from, please? Really struggling to find it anywhere and, as a DIYer, I'm not in the know about which online suppliers are reputable so I'd be super grateful for a recommendation? Thank...

Fair I've got one - he's one of the nicest people I've ever met and I go to him for most things but I love tinkering and don't want to stop DIYing (I don't touch the CU or anything too difficult or dangerous) but yeah, getting a bit sore!

OMG - head slap moment!! Lol!! Thank you so much!! That had just not occurred to me!!

I've not had any coffee today so I might just be being thick! Joists go in ceilings and floors, the vertical timbers in walls are called 'studs' so are you talking about studs? Or floor joists that butt up to the wall?

Sorry, this isn't exactly what you were asking (and you're probably aware already!) but, particularly as it's a bathroom below, just check that the rafters aren't in danger of getting damp due to the insulation causing condensation to form around the rafters. If you've not thought of it: you...
