Hello all, Ive had some plastering done in the hallway and also installed a new 6inch door liner. One of my main requirements for the plaster was to ensure the walls where straight, and he reassured me he would add even everthing out. Unfortunately now that he finished, i went around...

Thats really worrying to say the least and the truth is he did come recommended. If a new cable need to be run to any of the switches thats going to be a even bigger annoyance and a expense i really could have done without especially since ive just had the hallway reskimmed I despair but most...

Hi ive attached some pictures, of both light switches Theres actually 2 red wires in upstairs switch and not 3 as previously stated Thanks I'd really appreciate your help

I opened the switch upstairs and see 3 red wires connected to the switch, theres a loose black cable and there was another single cable( dont remember the colour) And there was a few other cables joined together too (dont remember the number or the colour)

Yes thats correct, its work fine from both switches sometimes and sometimes doesnt

Thanks to both, Thats interesting, and strange at the same time. The guy i used is definatley qualified so not sure how hes got this wrong, Other than some very basic electric like changing lile for like switches and and fittings i dont know much about electrics, hence with my little...

A few months ago i have my hallway double switch replaced with a trebble dimmer switch with a addition of a new cable for a 2nd light in the downstairs hallway. Ever since tbe upstairs light has been playing up. Sometimes it doesnt turn from thw upstairs switch and have to come downstairs to...

Thanks, will try the stitch drill method.... Will let you know how it goes :-)

Thanks Woody, We decided to go for a 33 inch opening in the end, So today i took out the old wood lintel and replaced it with a longer concrete lintel. Next step is to cut the brickwork back for increase the opening for a 33inch door. Thats not going to be fun i imagine. Im trying my best...

Lining is plumb and square. Its a old house and the opening is not very plumb hence the reason why insteads of widening the opening by stripping the bricks back he shortened the lining... so now the verticle side of the linings are not in the rebate of the top horizontal lining Its only 5mm...

Hello, Ive recently had a door linning installed but noticed after it had been fitted that the one side of the lonning is not sitting inside tbe rebate, its about 4/5mm on the inside making the opening a little smaller. Apprantly the walls were not straight he says hence the workaround...

Hi Winston, Im sorry you feel i was rude to you. I posted a genuine question and you responded with what you responded with.... i left it at that. I even thanked you giving you the benefit of doubt. Only for you get hung up with the terminology and respond with a another condescending reply...

No just the garden and some trees along the garden wall

To be completely honest i really do like the look of the walkover ones, i just think with the space and the design of what im trying to acheive protuding ones wouldn't look as good, BUT i do hear what you saying about longevity. Wondering if anyone else has had any good/ bad experiences with...

What would you recommend

Some into paving slabs and some into turf please

Hi has anyone got experience with any walkover garden lights? I need about 15 maybe more, but on a tight budget. Seen some knightsbridge make lights at around £23 each and wondering if theres any equally or even better quality ones at a cheaper price which somone has used themselves? Would...

Guys on a seperate note, can anyone recommend me recessed garden lights that they've used, preferably something that wont break the bank. I need about 15 and at £23 each it adds up to quite a fair bit. Wondering if theres any cheaper but equally as good options out there. Would appreciate...

Wow really? There so much conflicting information when ever I've ask anyone in the trade. For me personally, my main worry wehther the network cables have a interference due to the electric cable, and also what scares me about the gas and electric being so close together is, say if some after...

I call it a cable mate, yes you're right the ends are made up of rj45 connectors.. More specifically i wanted to know if laying them in the same trench with other services would cause and degrading effects.
