Lol yeah I know surveyors...I am one of the very many hated Estate Agents in this world! I had a homebuyers report done and they claim to have gone in the loft so.....anyway lets leave rants about surveyors there :P Where might one go about getting one of those brackets? Also I am assuming...

I have been in the house for approx 18 months, however its the first trip to the loft as I have only just bought a ladder (drive a small car with no room to allow one to be purchased ha ha). However the surveyor should have seen it when the survey was performed 18 months ago! I do have a...

Well I do hope that something can be done which doesn't run into costing thousands of pounds as thats just not possible for me at the moment. What a smal world to have other people from Eastbourne on here, thought I'd be the only one!

Hello all! When venturing into my loft this weekend I find I have a quite badly split Purlin, home insurance will not cover and suggest I sue my surveyor....not much help there then. I have little or no spare cash so all advice is appreciated, I have added pics in My album space! I live...

Thank you for your replies, does it make a difference that these pieces of stone/mortar only come down the chimney when its raining? Thank you again in advance

Hello and happy new year to all, I am looking for some help. Approximately 6 months ago I bought my first house, one of the main reasons was that it had a fireplace, it wasn't an open fire but it was a nice gas fire and quite ornate. However recently we have been having issues. Every time...

Ok perfect - i'll get some taken tonight and post them on here!

Hmmm so do you think swapping the black wires around will help?

Thanks for that - the issue is that I cannot afford a sparky to come and look at the issue - first house and funds are tight due to the mortgage etc! I have studied the diagram and cannot see why putting a light up here would knock out the rest of the house. There must be a fairly simple...

Hmmm....another problem - the lights in the bathroom and spare room now do not switch on lol. The bedroom is working fine ha ha Please help - any ideas?

Finally....all done,working not blown up.................(yet) lol thank you all so much for your help and advice.

when i went upstairs the reds in the junction box were sparking :oops:

I don't have a multimeter remember :wink:

Nope its not bulbs - took one which is known to work and tried it in a working light and the new one - still nothing lol

Its some B&Q 5 armed chrome thing lol! Hmmmm bulbs - suppose thats an option....darn sundays, nowhere open to get any

Ok - have changed the switch and still no light :-( Please explain to me how it doesn't matter which black wire goes where because surely they do different things? My understanding is that the light should come on no matter which one is connected - however one will allow it to be turned...

I don't think i did as when the switch was "clicked" with the wrong config it was still tripping out in my fuse box. However if it is blown then what are the consequences? So if we leave that to one side for the second - is there any other reason why the light wouldn't be coming on - could it...

Lol - ok well its not tripping out - however the light isn't coming on - would this mean that i got them the wrong way around - and yes its on at the MCB.

I'll be back - fingers crossed!

Ok cool - worst case scenario if the live and switched live get mixed up is that the switch does not work until iswap them over right? Or the MCB trips?
