I have wired the Live to the Switched Live terminal and the fan operates correctly but the automatic shutter does not open. So it looks like it is a faulty unit. I will send it back for an exchange. Thanks for the useful advice!

Thanks for the replies guys. This seems like a good idea. So I can just put a wire between the Live and Switched Live terminals on the extractor fan then give it a go.

It was a new build extension so the builder would have had to get all the appropriate certificates/inspections for the building inspector to pass it. It looks like the builder will not be receiving the final payment until it is sorted.

Thanks for the replies. The fan is definitely the auto shutter model with the humidistat. The front facia/shutter should automatically move forward and open when the fan is on, which does not happen with mine. So it seems like it should have the Switched Live connection and it looks like...

I have had an X-Mart Extractor fan with humidistat and automatic shutter fitting in my bathroom. I have an issue which is the automatic shutter does not work. Everything else seems to work fine with the extractor - the fan turns on and off automatically when there is steam in the bathroom...

I have a cold water pipe running up through a pillar in a wall in a downstairs office/bedroom. I want to reduce the noise when the water is being used. What kind of sound insulation can I use to cover water pipes in a pillar to reduce the noise?

I want a PIR switch, not to save energy, but so that if someone walks into the kitchen at night the LED lights automatically turn on, so the main lights don't have to be turned on. True, if the PIR isn't in the correct position it wouldn't work effectively and would drive me mad. Do I...

I think I understand you now. Is this what you mean:

Thanks for the quick reply. I want a PIR switch, not to save energy, but so that if someone walks into the kitchen at night the LED lights automatically turn on, so the main lights don't have to be turned on. What do you mean by a fused connection unit in line to the PIR? Can it be looped...

I am in the process of getting the electrics done in the extension. I am thinking about getting this PIR switch: http://www.uk-automation.co.uk/greeni-energy-saving-movement-sensor-switch-p-1407.html?gclid=CI2ByYeK1aICFYEz3godRm8I0w Would the wiring work like this, shown in the picture...

Well I am having a new kitchen extension built and it's still at early stages so none of the wiring has been done yet. So I can specify the wiring that will be required.

I want to get plinth LEDs for my new kitchen and I have seen these which I like: http://www.sealdesigns.co.uk/45mm-led-lights/10-x-45mm-white-round-led.htm The problem is that they come with a 3 pin plug in transformer, but I want to control these LEDs from a normal light switch (maybe...

Many thanks for the replys. So it seems like I should go for CFL downlights. How many do you suggest for my kitchen (8m x 2.5m). Also how long do CFL downlight bulbs take to warm to get to full brightness, or this not applicable? I am also having a wetroom installed which is 2m x 2m, so I...

How many downlights do you recommend for a kitchen 8m x 2.5m? I will be using 12v 50w MR16 fittings on a dimmer switch.

I am having a wetroom built and I am having electric underfloor heating in the wetroom as well. Once the shower area has been tanked with the shower tray former installed is it possible to have underfloor heating in the shower area (between the shower tray former and tiling)?

I have bought some handles for a new kitchen and they have come with "snap off" screws. What is the most effective method to snap the screws to length? I have tried using plyers but this seems to damage the thread.
