My parents had a couple fitted, as others say they are easy to fit, and they work.

Does the drill havea safety clutch if not it could break your arm if it locks up.

Any idea what kind of roller? Closed foam? And should I sand before final coat? Thanks

i havea pitch pine parquet floor that I have sanded back over the weekend with a sand glider machine. The floor was in very bad condition but come up well after a lot of sanding. We have chosen to mat varnish the floor, I have put the varnish on with a pad, it is a walnut varnish. It's looking...

Does it have a switch in the bottom, we had one (different make) that had a small split on drain hose this was filling base of dishwasher and tripping the cut out switch. I took it apart and replaced split hose. Fine since.

This is the flooring it's 30cm x7cm x 2cm I'm not sure what wood it is any idea? The house was built 1930. Not sure if it's original flooring?

Thanks for the replies, unfortunately can't steal any from any cupboard spaces. I'll try and get some replacement bits, if not I'll have to cut new bits.

Thanks for the info I have called round and have been told "don't stock it mate no call for it" this is from local reclamation yards. I'm not trekking miles as it's only about 12 bits I need. They are up againss a wall and will be under a cabinet. Is there any issue with cutting my own?

No problem, sometimes its difficult putting it down in words so its clear.

no when the isolator is off the shower light and fan don't work, the others do. as its supposed to.

The fan and its light go through a three-pole isolator. the fan and its light switch on when the isolator is on and then the light switch is put on, this switches all bathroom lights and the fan on. when the lights are switched off the fan is then on a timer.

They run down the safe zone on the other side, and then go through the wall the wall is tiled in the bathroom. There is also a false ceiling, but I can't get to the wires from inside the room. I could leave the isolator where it is but it looks rubbish.

No they come through the wall at the level of the switches, I don't want the isolator next to the light switch as it looks crap. Hence I want to move the isolator above the door. But to do that I need to extend the cables.

Thanks, what do you do if you do want it buried in the wall? Can I solder and heat shrink?
