sorry to hijack post but is it ok to have the looping in done at the switch rather than the light fitting.?? cheers

that was what i thought - but unfortunatley factors in the bathroom beyond our control dont make this possible. the vanity unit is not going anywhere for the duration we are in the house so will be fine for us. som back to topic, i can just use silicone like david said. sounds good to me...

cheers david :D would it make a difference if i say it is against a plasterboard wall, but sits upon a vanity unit. the holes in the casting done line up with the wooden verticles of the wall so can i drill new holes in the correct place through the casting or will i crack it?? cheers

got a stubby - could use that silicone - would this be ok?? would some sort of grab adhesive be better?? just dont want to risk anyone pulling it away from the wall which would be hard to do but you never know!! cheers

hi can i screw a window board into the lower part of the upvc window frame. it will be replaced in a couple of years and proper window boards fitted. It will not be a massive thing just aesthetically pleasing!!!!! :lol: cheers

hi just finished installing the vanity unit and waste pipes in our bathroom. Now i need to fix the sink to the wall so the tiler can come and tile up to it an seal around it, The holes in the back of the casting, are near enough impossible to get a screwdriver on so what do you...

hole is bigger than patress, and was put in by a blind man!! as to why a dry lining box wasnt used, i am unable to answer that, as the previous owner is 6 feet under. sorry :oops: did the cardboard trick, and skimmed the edges with filler. worked a treat!!! thanks guys!! cheers george

come again!!!? :oops: so i push the card into the hole, then pull it back up flush with the edge of the hole, fill/skim and sand smooth??? cheersd

i actually thought of that!!! well, expanding foam anyway. would that be ok to use?? i have got some easyfill so skimming it isnt a prob. cheers[/list]

hi i have taken the front off s socket inb the bedroom which was on the **** a bit. I have got a new patress ro go in but in will need to be mounted onto the existing wooden batten which has been nailed to the stud wall wooden frame. will this be ok?? also, when i have fitted the...

hi i have got a new vanity unit with an inset sink which needs the waste plumbing in. It sits into a recess in the bathroom and the soil stack is the other side of the wall. i have cut a couple of acces hatches through the plasterboard and can get to the soil stack easily now but will...

i may be totally wrong here but could you run the ramp of a single phase in to 3 -phase out inverter?? you could rate it accordingly and set the torque output and output voltage/current to suit the ramps. as it will be a "simulated" 3 phase output then this might cause problems though just a...

just to resurrect this post!!! getting to the point where tiling is going to be done... can i tile straught onto the plasterboard which is NOT in the shower area without sealing it with paint or primer or the like?? i have got a tanking kit for the shower cubicle to be applied to the...

i had an isolator fitted recently - the guy from the supply company was going to rip out an old off peak meter so he did this at the same time. anyway, the seal on my main fuse was missing - and nothing was said as he pulled it and upgraded my tails to 25mm and just put a new seal around it...

ahh right - just assumed that the 5kW was the power consumption of the oven!!! why is it written like thst then, if its for gas?? cheers Coljack

would do if i could remember it - didnt happen to write that down!!! edit its a Belling G716 cheers

cool - so i would be ok with 6mm T&E and keeping the 32 amp breaker. the supply is just on a radial circuit. cheers george

its just a gas hob, gas grill, and single oven!! i really cant see it using 10kW - thats more like halogen hobs and twin oven territory!!! is there a way of measuring the cores on the original supply cable as the cable feeding the cooker will need to be tha same as the supply side to the...

alright people!! right, i have got a cooker that was in the house i have just bought. the label on the back says: Nominal power consumption 10 , 5kW. does that mean 10kW or 5kW? i have got a new 45 amp cooker plate and the feed to the plate which is there at the moment is i think 6mm T&E...

had the supply company send out there bloke to remove my old off peak meter yesterday. Got chatting and mentioned about fitting main isolators on the incoming supply. Anyway, 2 cups of tea and a rich tea later there was a nice new isolator fitted, and all the incoming cables had been upgraded...
