Not sure what they are connected to at either end. Pipes just disappear into brickwork of chimney breast. Last year when refurbishing kitchen, I found the trace of an old flue and hearth which from talking to neighbours was probably a coke boiler, although the top of this chimney has a metal...

I am currently refurbishing a small downstairs toilet which was created in a former coal store (now accessed via utility room built onto side of house). Having removed existing rear partition wall (made of hardboard and contiplas!!!!) I have found an 18" deep void containing a small chimney...

The whole point of this post is that I can't easily replace the light switch due to some rather inventive cable routing. It could be done but I'd rather not have to.

Thanks. Stat only needs 2 connections so I'm using twin and earth. Essentially cable will function as a Live Feed/Switched Live Return.

I want to use a small heated towel rail (only 60W) as a general heater/damp preventer in a tiny (4' x 2'6") downstairs toilet. I would like to use a thermostat to control temp - believe it or not it DOES get too warm in there with towel rail permanently on! Question is this: Heater is...

I think that's what I'll do. Fuse incoming lighting supply at 3A, take PL, SL & N from ceiling rose (or replace this with JB for a new flush fitted light) then via 3 Pole isolator to fan. Means I'll lose the light if fan blows fuse, but I can live with that, for simplicity of circuit if...

I want to install some PVC T&G cladding in downstairs toilet. Will be sticking to existing, dry and mainly sound emulsion over plaster skim (will be made good where necessary). Was thinking about using solvent free Gripfill - more because of the smell rather than a problem with the material...

I'm not convinced either that a fuse is needed on a fan. Surely if a fault develops which is severe enough to start a fire, then it would trip a 6A MCB, possibly more quickly than it would blow a 3A fuse. Unfortunately, from reading MANY posts on here, there seems to be a growing concensus...

I want to install a timed fan in existing downstairs toilet (currently no fan at all). It would appear that it is now necessary to feed this via a 3A spur. I know this could be done by feeding the toilet lighting via a fused spur, but this would kill the lights if there was an overcurrent...
