I'm just about to have my kitchen refitted. I've had an electrician to come and have a look. He's quoted me £2500 for a rewire. We are after new lights and lots of fiddly bits around the new cupboards. The bit that worries me, is that we want to mount x2 pyrolytic neff ovens away from the...

A couple of weeks ago, I noticed some cracking in the outside brick wall of my house. This took the form of diagonal cracks through the mortar only above the lounge window and another vertical crack below the window. I phoned the insurance company who have then assigned a structural...

Hi, I've just bought a new bathroom light from b+q. Just had a look at the fittings, there's no room for any extra wires apart from the switched live and neutral. Which I'm guessing means using a junction box in the loft. The thing that's really got me baffled is that there are no...
