Thanks everyone really aappreciate the advice. Yes it was behind a box, so I understand why it was missed. Electrician has made contact so hopefully hell get someone over here to have a look.

Thanks. What do you mean by "terminate".

Of all the DIY jobs I'm being beaten by a curtain rail! Trying to fit some brackets to an external wall and can't get the drill to go any further than an inch. I'm using a fairly new masonry bit and the hammer setting. Looking from the outside the soffit is only just above the window frame, and...

Hi, I've recently had a new outdoor tap installed, and just bought a new hose with attachments. Can't for the life of ne get them to attach. I can get a rough connection by removing the brass end from the tap and screwing on the hose without the 2 extra attachments but the threads don't quite...
