Hey guys, just bringing this post back to life as I'm a bit baffled by this concept. :? So if I'm painting a ceiling, say, white and the walls blue are you suggesting that I do the edges first? As I'm a novice this needs some clarity just. So I would paint the ceilings edges white then do...

Hey guys, have 2 holes in a wall as I had to get my radiator replumbed due to leak. I supply the pictures for you and am asking what is my best method to filling the holes? As a finishing I have Smoothover - which I find excellent to work with. Any help would be gratefully...

Fully operational, thanks again guys. What I have noticed is that at the max brightness is still doesn't appear to be as bright as when I had it on the normal switch! Is this just the way it is or is there something I can do?

Excellent mate, thanks :wink: So far it doesn't appear to have damaged the switch but I will keep an eye on it but it's working now. Thanks all for your help, AGAIN!

So I need a spark to sort out the neutral then?

I tried connecting the two wires to here: Then swapping them around then trying to connect them to the other end of the switch: But to no avail the light does not come on! Now either I have a faulty switch or the wires aren't making a connection. Anyone add to this?

Hey guys, just needed a quick piece of help with this one. Just purchased the switch (see below) and I can't for the life of me work out how this is supposed to be wired! I can hear ya now - Then stay away from it! - and you would probably be right. All the same curiousity has gotten to me...

wms: Thanks for the speedy reply mate. You put me on the right path and now I have located the source. When you mention masking tape I sent about sealing all the joints around the noise with it and low and behold it stopped when I sealed the outside of the window. So it appears it is a hole...

I have gas heating in my flat and the major radiators have thermostats on them (the dial that goes from 1 to 5). To me I thought that by lowering the knob from 5 to say 3 should drop the temperature of the radiator but this doesn't appear to be the case. My sitting room radiator is quite big...

Hey guys, My bedroom window (UPVC) whistles and howls at the bottom left hand side which has been like this for ages now but I need to try and fix the problem. It's keeping me awake at nights. I checked the silicone on the outside of the frame and it seems to be fine, well I at least...

Thanks Breesey, it's the chimney like pipe coming from the top that seems to be creaking, here is a picture: It was never like this before and appears to be constant now when the bolier is on, either for water or heating. When I put some mild pressure on the pipe the creaking stops so...

Thanks Chris, any way to stop the creaking? It is quite annoying.

OK, just checked the pressure again and it seems to be up just over 2 bar so that's cool. Must have been an oversight on my part. Apologies folks! The creaking noise seems to be coming from the pipe coming from the top of the boiler. It's a 105e (Baxi). How I know is that when I put...

Hi all, I have a combi boiler that creaks all the time when the CH is on and was just wondering if any of yoy guys knew what the cause was? Also, the plumber left the pressure at 2bar and for some reason it has dropped to 1, where it always was from instal. I noticed the drop in pressure...

Thanks Zampa :wink: I start later today so will update you on my progress. Just one other question, when I put this mist coat on and spot the imperfections I know to fill them with polyfila but what would you use to rub them down? If sandpaper what grade?

Thanks Zampa, What exactly is mist coating? Sorry to sound like a novice....but I am :(

Hope you don't mind guys but just wanted to bump this up again as this matter is becoming quite frustrating for me. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Good point nozspark as I was thinking of fitting an extractor fan in zone 1. Is there a work around such as fitting a second pull cord? Don't know if I fancy the thoughts of that though. Thanks for the link RF

Thanks guys I will try your suggestions and update you to let ya know how I get on!

Thanks Chris, never used basinmate before so do I seal the screw on bit? The bit that connects to the underside of the sink, as I can't help but feel that I am missing an O ring of some sort? Where else do I seal? Thanks again.
