So changed single metal socket for a fused switch,inserted A3 amp fuse,changed conduit to 25mm as there wasn’t enough room for the 2x twin and earth and the 1.5mm light cable in the 20mm one. No slack on the twin and earth cable from a previous installation,so no way to clip it back.

It’s in 1.5mm flex,I’d like to avoid just putting a plug on the end as other half likes to unplug stuff to use socket and will then leave it unplugged.

Will do tomorrow,too dark now,it’s basically as I said single socket with 2x twin and earth cables to and from it in garage,can’t see any other way of doing it apart from running cable another 20mts to distribution board fitting fused switch above or below it and then adding tails from that to...

Put the light up and wired back into the garage,there isn’t enough space to fit a new switch at the side of the light switch. There is a single metal clad socket with two 2.5mm cables,I’m assuming that I can just change the front to a switched fused face plate and go into the load side with the...

Got an existing shed in which the floor has partially rotted because someone built it directly onto a concrete pad instead of raising it off the floor. Looking to take it down,build a new raised base on blocks but was wondering the best way to build this odd shaped base,ignore the yellow part...

90 degree angle brackets

No posts,just fastened to top of the wall.cant cut just the middle piece as it then becomes wider than the other two pieces. I was thinking find the angle of the wall slope,two hacksaw blades fastened together then flip this vertical and cut the three pieces at that angle?.

Trellis is secured by brackets to the top of the wall,the wall has a stepped up part approximately 12 at a 45 degree slope,I’m guessing around a 45 degree slope,how do you calculate the angles that the trellis needs cutting at so it maintains the same width across the full length of the wall

Done,just needs cables tidying up,and someone to test it. Any ideas on cost and time to do it?

It’s definitely 2.5mm cable and there’s nothing else on this cable accept the fused unit to the combination boiler,reading contradicting posts on wether this work needs to be signed off by a spark, As you said it would be straight off the supply side to two double sockets with a maximum of 2...

Thanks,I’ll check the cable size somehow.

Sorry for not replying yesterday got caught up with something else. Looks like the boiler fused spur is the only thing the cable runs to,it’s on the RCD side of the dis board with a 20’amp breaker.Still not sure it’s 2.5mm though. There is a 3amp fuse fitted,remove and replace with 13amp fuse...

The switched fused spur was originally for the immersion heater,so I’m assuming it’s a radial circuit,cable running to it appears to be 1.5mm t&e.This is now running the combi boiler as well as the receiver box for the wireless stat Proposing to add a socket at the side of it with a four way...

A simple remove blank off and nitrogen pressure test.

Strange issue with pressure climbing when boiler is off,then climbs past 3bar and vents when heating on,suspected the expansion vessel so tested and all seems ok pressure was a little high so adjusted back to 0.75 bar.No water inside it at all.Removed filling loop and no valves passing when...

So far it's been ok,but will try them if it goes again,Thanks anyway.

John Removing the new unit did return the original light to working ok.Put it on a short cable and lit up bright then dimmed but would not go off. Returned and a new one put up all ok at the moment.Two faulty ones in a short space of time can't be testing them too well. Thanks again for responding.

Thanks John I'll be up there Saturday,first thing will be to check all the connections are ok then retry them. Next will be to dissconect the new one and see if it clears the problem.Seems a few have issues with the LED type. Thanks anyway I'll get back and let you know what the outcome is...

Not at the moment John,as its at my brothers house where the issue is. This was a thought of mine also,but can't think why the second light would cause this to happen. Cheers

Thanks John it started with a screwfix one that was faulty when put up,which was also set off by boiler flue.Hence fitting the light on its own and a PIR on front corner of house. This was around three weeks ago,and has been OK up until a second one was fitted on rear of house Saturday.Walk...
