Thanks for your help everyone. I fitted some new sockets which had larger terminals

Ah okay, thank you!! Are you able to advise me on which would be a larger connector block to buy so the copper fits in please @Adam_151 I currently have the one in this picture Thank you so much!

Please could someone let me know if this is an okay short term fix until I can get an electrician over? The sockets won’t be used until then, I just want to make them as safe as possible for now Many thanks

The wiring is too thick to fit in the socket. I can’t even get the ends of the wires in to the L terminal with the 3 live wires joined! Is it safe to turn on the electrics like this if this switch isn’t touched at all?

Thanks for your advice. Is this safe like this? I’ve put electrical tape over the Neutral wiring as they won’t fit in the terminal box!

Thanks. On taking the cables out of the old socket, I cannot get the cables in to the new terminals as they are so snall I am baffled as to why there are so many wires to one socket, so I’m going to seek help from an electrician. I’m currently putting the cables in to a terminal box, I am...

Thanks @terryplumb, will one of these work?

Thank you so much. Will the blanking cap just screw on to this?

Ah great, it’s coming out from the connection to the radiator. Will this just fit inside the pipe or will I have to cut the copper pipe back before I fit a cap?

Hi all Please would someone be able to advise me on an issue I’m having with the pipework seen in the picture I took my radiator off the wall a week ago ready to be re plastered, which I have had done the last couple of days I woke up this morning and saw the floor wet around the pipework...

Great, many thanks

Hi all I’ve just had my kitchen/diner plastered. I’m just wondering what the best way to dry this is? Is it best to let it dry naturally, keeping the room ventilated through the day and night with the windows open? Or is it better to provide a small amount of heat to the room? Many thanks

That’s very kind of you looking for the distributions! The adhesive isn’t raised at all, so there’s nothing as such to scrape of, would that change to being okay to use the 3240?

Would ultrsplan 3240 mapei work at all? I’m looking to save on a £45 delivery charge by going to Screwfix haha

@dazlight hope you don’t mind me asking, would Primer G from mapei work with the latex NA compound? It says it’s water based, but I can’t seem to find any others...
