Sorry no its through an outside wall. When i say plasterboard over it I was thinking somehow to cut a hole at 45 degrees into the existing hole and then just block up the hole between the new 45 degree cut and the existing internal wall..... does that make sense

Dear all, I am about to install a new chimney style hood and after removing the old integrated hood have realised that the existing hole is not central :( I have two options: 1. Try and get a slight dog-leg on the flexi pipe by digging away some of the intenal wall and plasteing over...

But i could probably borrow one. Dont think i am going to get anymore good input on this one.....

If i extend the spur can i not put the rcd in the actual office ?? i dont have a fault loop impedance meter so guess i wont be able to test it..... As for going under the floor.... the floor is concrete so thats a no-no. Going out - up - in - out - down is an option but when i have a spur...

PS: what are my other options other than chase a new run right through from the front of the house to the back!! I can see this being a real work up!

electronics UK, can i not simply remove the socket and extend it to the garden office? Of course i will notify lbc.... although i still think this new rule sucks for people who are more than capable of doing this kind of work but hey ho.

Well i am assuming it is RCD protected the socket has a reset button on it but my CU is too old to have MCB's it has simply old fuse wire.... the house is only 20 years old too.... guess it was cheaper to use fusewire back then!! Office is 8.5m from the socket

Only a wall mounted heater 1KW?

Hi all, I am thinking about putting in a garden office, however i have seen different solutions for getting electrics to it. The house CU is at the front and its a terraced house, it would be very troublesome to chase a new feed/ring into the shed. I did see on here someone posted a...

Hello all. I have a problem connecting my chrome trap waste pipe to existing pipework, i was hoping it would fit into 32mm pushfit, but it appears to tight, i have managed to get it really almost in, but wont slot right the way through, problem is i have now tiles around this area so access...

noseall thanks for the response, sparky... that will be me..... hmmm whilst i agree with you i kind of want to do the job for least cost, and replacing the ceiling was one option, in fact i was just going to drop the ceiling by 1~2" with a 2x1 and put new plasterboard up, but this too proved...

I currently have artex in our house, i want to get it skimmed smooth and get coving put up all around. I also want to add downlighters. What is the best method/process i should follow? Get all the wiring in and then get the plasterer to skim then cut holes for lights? Downstairs is not a...

I have had a quick search through the forums for an answer to this and the only thing i have come across is kahrs to a flexible parquet trim, however this does not come in white to match my current scotia. Does anyone know of a manufacturer that does a rubber or similar pultrusion that has...

Hi everyone thanks for you help. PLumber came out again this morning to take another look as he was puzzled as to why it was not working when he bipassed a couple of things. Anyway this is his hunch, the motorised valve upstairs has blown, as we took cover off and it smelt the usually...

Festa thanks for the rapid reply, i have a feeling it is double insulated as the fan motor and light are all encased in a separate plastic housing! I will replace the switch with a fused Switch unit today! Thanks again

Just spoke with my plumber and he is coming out this evening to take a look. LOL he is out fishing at the moment, its a hard life :( not fair!

I have just finished fitting my kitchen and installed new cooker extractor/free standing chimney thing. Put new wiring in via switched circuit from main ring kitchen circuit, not fused at the moment but intend on changing this. My main concern is that the cable coming from the fan and...

Chris you are right i used a 5A fuse as this what was in there, stupidly i thought that like for like and should have checked online 1st. Do you think i may have damaged it by replacing the 5A fuse? Cant remember make etc, but i think i will call out our plumber, lol he only came 3 weeks...

As title above suggest came home to find the program panel for boiler not lit up,, 1st thing i did was check fuse.... changed fuse and switched back on..."BANG!!" blew it again :( pulled all wiring sockets off of the wall as these had been off recently for tiling etc, nothing visibly wrong, i...

Well after reading all posts here regarding fixed connections etc. I now feel that i should get someone in to do the job.... i.e. corgi registered. This really bugs me as i am almost possitive i could do the work myself. (Competently!) Presently have free standing cooker, looking to remove...
