Hi, I've been searching all over the Web, and cannot seem to find the answer. Can I use SK06 flashing with S06 windows? Currently I have a hole in my roof with a S06 going in (ebay bargain), and a brand new flashing. Just clocked the 'new generation' sticker and don't want to open the...

38 degrees would be nice. But when you have only 2360mm floor space to rise 2640mm - soon run out of options! :D

Thank you for replying, but I did specifically state "regulations aside". I can't see space savers being that pleasant to use and our 1900 terrace stairs were made at approx 50 degrees anyway.

All things being equal, and regulations aside.... what do you consider to be safer.... A. 48 degree 'normal'' stairs B. 56 degree 'space saver' stairs Thanks :D

Any idea on the cost of the spliced beam? The whole ones down stairs were about £100 each, which in the grand scheme of things is pocket money compared to what was spent on plasterboard or screws or carpet or whatever!

Yeh I knew there would be some murmurings about that. The upshot is that firstly due to the open plan ground floor there is literally no way of being "building regs compliant". The kitchen is open plan to the lounge and the exits are on the opposite side to the stairs. Secondly we have no...

Hi all, I'm looking to remove the diagonal struts in the loft as part of a "half-conversion". I did some time ago instruct a SE to do the calculations for this alongside some other works about a year ago. I'm now in a position to start, so have started to look at these in detail. The...

Right, back to what I know... :D

I've logged out, and can see it on this link? https://www.dropbox.com/s/gbxq5blejkogwpw/20140519_223331-1.jpg Might go back to photobucket... much easier! :D

Hi, Long time lurker, occasional poster here! :D I have a mid terraced house with an unused side return since moving the back door to exit from the kitchen straight into the garden. I am in the process of turning this into storage for my tools etc, which will be safe as it can be from...

Do I have any options of anything that will "speak" to my current receiver?

Where's that from? Thanks.

Hi, British Gas installed our CH about 5yrs ago with remote thermostat connected to the WR1 receiver (a rebranded Drayton unit I'm told). Some time ago the thermostat packed up, tried all the reset procedures etc, but the screen would not even come on. Anyway, in our whole refurbishment...

We've done exactly the same with kingspan between the joists, sure I read on the Energy Trust website 10% of heat loss is through the floor a while back. Can't really comment on exactly what difference it made as we went from just floorboard and laminate, to kingspan, underlay and thick...

Waited a few days for the plaster to dry, wired it up again, job done :D Thanks all!

I'll turn it off at the breaker for now, and try to fix it up tomorrow. Thanks for your help all who contributed! :)

I've not got plastic to swap out tonight. The wires as they are, they safe?

Yeh that's right. Its a metal switch, earth runs to the backbox. Any way to test?

Yeh thats what I did, still tripped :( Third wire is to run a second light down the other end of the kitchen. Cable has been run to the locations, nothing has been done with it as yet.

It instantly trips when connected up now. I did then hook up the light as per the diagram on the wiki here which tripped again, regardless of if switch is on or off.
