Thanks for your input davy_owen_88. Some yes, but unfortunately mostly not so easy for where I want to get to. Good to know. So I can just run my power ring as normal, replacing 2.5 with 4mm T&E – that’s great – really easy solution. Actually I should have been clearer – I...

In my loft conversion I need to run power & lighting under the loft floor that’s going to be insulated. Usual construction – old lathe & plaster ceiling held up by old joists, topped with new independent joists holding up a wooden floor, and all to be stuffed with rockwool mineral fibre...

I want like to install a WC in my new loft space. The existing WC downstairs is in the back section of the house & connects into a stack there. We also have another stack at the front that just takes rainwater drainage at the moment, and acts as a vent. Could I connect the new WC outlet to it ?

I’ve got an unpressurised CH system. About every couple of weeks I’m having to bleed one of the radiators, and I’m wondering/worried where the gas is coming from. It started about 3 months ago – for no reason – no work has been done on the system for a couple of years. It had inhibitor added...
