Thanks everyone for reply. Some interesting suggestions. The thin LED that has a light along its length is something I’ve come across before but too big a cost to test it out. Prefer up light rather than along length of wall. Came across this but can’t find it anywhere - tall thin chrome up...

Of course it is. Thanks lads.

Hi all We had windows and doors installed a few years back. Great lads, great jobs - no problems. There was a concrete step flush with the exit to the utility so the French door doesn’t have a drip edge. But now I’ve removed the step - putting in a patio and wondering what the best advise...

Thanks for that. Job done. can I ask what the other valve is.

Appreciate any insight on this. Thanks.

Thanks. He said I didnt need one. Rang him now and said he doesnt have one. Feck it anyway - need it for next week. Any suggestions?

Hi Stupid Question: How do I put together these slots drains and corner unit, where the corner unit acts as an access unit. Background: I have approx a 10m stretch of patio that I want to put a slot drain in and access at the end. The landscape company that I bought from only supplies the...

Hi Question: How do I go about blocking up my flue with EPS balls? Background: Standard, 1950s, semi-D, with four chimneys (2 up, 2 down). Upstairs ope blocked years ago. I’ve read that you should block the bottom of the flue with a piece of wood, send EPS balls down the flue, and then block...

Thank you both so much. Silly q - do I need both of those procedure ….the compression nut and the blanking nut?

That was exactly the purpose. The designer person we had was mad for this but we knew it wouldn’t be used for that. Not least as there’s no ventilation and it would be a source of mould. thanks for that advice. Is there a particular product that caps them?

Hi all Is there a straight forward way to kill this line please without all the hassle of draining the system. It was put in despite not wanting it. Need access now for something else. Many thanks. https://ibb.co/2vt2Gdj https://ibb.co/b3fqT1L

Thanks for that. See pic below. It’s a tall floor standing lamp that I’m seeking. I’ve tried to put in a low level up light - but it created too much of a shadow so it’s a tall one I need. It’s very tight so the normal uplighters are just too wide and it hits on the curtains. Any advice...

Hi all I’m struggling to find an attractive, tall, thin up light. I’ve a very dark area of the kitchen but very very little space for a lamp. I’ve searched high and low and wondered if anyone can advise. Many thanks

Laying an electric cable - that is not terminated at any end - is not a restricted electric work. As you’ve quoted from my previous post, I’ll get a RECI to finish the work. Point made as above. With regards to laying the cable, I never intimated that I would put both into the same duct. I...

Thanks. It's just a turn of phrase that we use in Ireland. Any view on the questions? All advice gratefully received.

SWA 3 x 16mm Garden Room Thanks guys. He was charging €1200 inc VAT and so €1040 ex VAT. I bought the cable for €420 ex VAT - that means €620. ext VAT [€700 to me] to bore two holes, not connect (for safety's sake) to the consumer unit, and not lay or trench or anything else...just leave the...

Good suggestion. I hadn't planned to - I had just read that too bog can be as much of a problem. Any general rule of thumb for what I'm laying. They'll be standard garden lights - Id imagine LED. Don't know what they'll be yet. 3 x 10mm? 3 x 2.5mm? 3 x 4mm?

That’s very sensible advice. And I think the best option for me. Thank you.

Just to check. Do you need an electrician to install a garden light outdoors? I’ll be getting the sparks to connect the the swa to the consumer unit - no doubt about that. But I wouldn’t have thought that garden lights would need a sparks?
