I've had a window replaced with a smaller one and the gaps to the side bricked up. To save money I told the builder I would finish off the inside so it has been left as in the photo with just the outside skin. Rather than bricks/blocks on the inside, I was thinking of insulating the outside skin...

The cables were run through a bit of stud wall to get to original switch, which involved a few strategic holes, then along quite a long wall in the zone below the ceiling which now has coving fitted. The second switch was a last minute afterthought, hence the lack of research. It isn't essential...

Thanks, that's great

I'm in the process of planning an ensuite and am struggling with the siting of the WC. We'll be partitioning off the far end of the bedroom making a room 3m x 1m, so the plan is to have the WC with it's back to one of the short walls, giving a decent amount of legroom. This would mean that...

Thanks for the replies everyone. I can't get any wires from either upstairs (concrete ceiling) or elsewhere in the room and I can't justify the wireless controller. It's supposed to be a double switch at each end, to control two lights independently, so I have two t&e's in there. Might be best...

I've run a cable to convert an existing one way switch to a two way but only just realised I should have used three core and earth, I have used twin and earth. Re-running the cable isn't an option as it's now been plastered and decorated. Assuming there is no way to make it work with twin and...

Our house is a former shop, converted badly by the previous owners. The shop window, which was 5.7m long and ran floor to ceiling, had been replaced with plywood on the outside and plasterboard on the inside, with a smaller window inserted. We are in the process of having the plywood and...

Hi all Our house is a converted shop, and the former shop windows have been blocked up and replaced with a much smaller window and a door. I've just found that the previous owners did this by building a timber frame, plasterboarding the inside and adding a skin of 8mm ply on the outside, which...

Just realised my diagram hasn't come out anything like it did on the preview, hope it's still clear from the description what I'm doing. Thanks - just to clarify are you saying the first solution (2 x 90 degrees out of the back of the toilet) is OK subject to correct fall?

Hi all I'm planning an ensuite and need some advise please on whether this would work. Rough diagram below shows the toilet on the wall on the left and the proposed new soil pipe on the right. The toilet needs to be there because the window is at that end of the room so the shower would...

Hi all I am planning a new kitchen which involves moving the sink to the other end of the room. There are no outside drains on the other side of the house so I'd need to run the sink waste all the way around the sides of the room, meaning the new sink would be 10m from the current drain...
