Yes its been replaced with a CCTV camera with integrated sensor for night light activation based on movement and therefore there is no switched LIVE for it. Do you mean where the wires are going to on the other end? that I cannot tell because there is so many and i'm not sure where what is...

So, I removed the single brown wire going to COM on the right switch which is going to the outside light and that turned off power to the light completely that's powered by the left switch. So that makes me believe the power to the left switch is being supplied by the always live on the COM of...

Below I tried to take another pic. You can see the one on the left L1 has 3 brown wires. One of the 3 brown wires goes to the switch on the right COM

No the L1 on the left as 3 brown wires it's just hard to take pic. The L1 on the right is a black wire with sleeve. But strange thing is when I disconnect that black L1 wire on the right the tester still lights up on that wire but dim

Below are some actual pics and I've also done another version of the drawing with the colour codes:

I have a 2-way double wall light switch. I've drawn a diagram below showing the wires that are connected. I want to cover the switch with a blanking cover so with switch 1 left ON and switch 2 OFF. I was thinking to use screw terminal block connectors to wire them up and remove the switch...

Oh that's good to hear. Even though I've removed the paper with a steamer it still doesnt need sizing?

I currently have wallpaper on there which I need to remove then I will rub down. So should I just apply the same paste the wall adhesive but watered down version all over the wall and let it dry overnight? how watered down?

I have a paste-the-wall wallpaper. A lot of the instructions and videos I've watched do not say anything about sizing the wall first before pasting the wall. The question is do I need to size the wall and if so what's the procedure? What do I use to size the wall? I only have the paste at the moment

I'm not sure if the ceiling was papered or not. It was a brand new build just over 10 years ago. I never covered up the cracks. I will try method of someone walking above but just above that area is the edge of the building. I will try in the morning to walk above it and see but its very loose...

How can I determine if there is any movement? it's been like that past few years and i just thought it's down to the vibrations from top floor. Its right at the corner of the end of the room where it's open plan and I believe there must be an RSJ or something holding the top floor up all the way...

I need some advice and help please. My house was a new-build when I purchased it and it's about 10 years now. Haven't had any cracks on the plaster for a good number of years until few years ago only one area downstairs on the ceiling corner where I think two plasterboards meet with a butt joint...

I don't have constantly tripping fuses. But on rare occasions when you do have a situation because of a faulty appliance etc then it's handy to be able to flip it back up. One one occasion it was night and I didn't have any fuse wire so it's not very convenient of it catches you at the wrong...

I have one of those old rewireable fuse holder consumer units that you have to put new fuse wire in to if it breakds. One option is to swap out for a new modern breaker type consumer unit. But it's a bit expensive with the labour costs of an electrician etc. Just wondering will it be ok just to...

But surely if your internet isn't working it should still work. I can understand the internet being needed so you can use the app and do things remotely. But if you wanted to use the nest circle surely that isn't internet dependent

My current thermostats do not have the ground temperature probes wired. I was told those were required mainly for wooden floors not ceramics. It uses ambient air temperature. It's almost like the thermostat adjusts how much power is given from the supply to the load depending on ambient the...

I have a conventional electric wire element underfloor heating system that's about 10 years old. It's before any smart thermostats came out. The way the heating is wired is that mains LIVE and NEUTRAL go to the current LCD thermostat. The live is switched with a fused spur. Then the heating...

The wood on my exterior canopy above the front door still has the original white paint. Which isn't glossa d some areas have started to flake. So I'm considering peeling the paint in the areas where it's flaking with a heat gun and scraper. I want to put gloss white over it all. The areas that I...

I have a very small area that has six pieces of 50x50cm slabs. Just wondering is it possible to install outdoor tiles directly on top of the slab with some adhesive?
