    Wall Panelling

    Yes - it is solid pine but as you say its glued in blocks - sheets are 2400 by 600. Best way to join the rails?

    Wall Panelling

    Hi all, I am planning on making wall panelling for my hallway. I have worked out the sizes and the number of panels etc and I have decided to make them out of pine. Some of the panels will be circa 2.4m tall and the rails will be 95mm. My plan was (is still maybe) to basically build the rails...

    Damp Proof High Build Self Leveller

    Hi all, I have old quarry tiles down most of which is covered by bitumen/asphalt at about 30mm depth. Since I have just removed the stairs I need a high build self leveller to cover where the stairs used to be (they were sat directly on top of the old quarries). Can anyone recommend a self...

    Wired PIR with Home Assistant

    Hi all I am planning on getting my electrician to fit some Shelly Pro 4 PM relays as part of my rewire. The plan is to use them to control most of my inside and outside lights. Hopefully I will then have physical light switches and control of the lights using Home Assistant. On some of the...

    Replace Heating Controller

    Looking at the Hive installation guide it shows a common live and then CH ON and CH OFF are at positions 2 and 4 (see image attached). In my set up it shows that there is a live at position 3 and position 4. One of these goes to the boiler (position 4 I think) and one goes to the pump. Would I...

    Replace Heating Controller

    What a comprehensive answer, thank you. I have added some photos of the controller and the wiring. There is no valve anywhere as far as I can tell. The boiler itself has a control to regulate the amount of heat output but there is no other thermostat. The hot water appears to only be an...

    Replace Heating Controller

    Hi all, My central heating runs off an old oil boiler which uses a Siemens RWB2E controller and doesn't have a room thermostat anywhere. By the looks of it the controller only controls the heating as the hot water is an immersion heater with a separate supply. There are three cables to the...

    Add 2nd CU?

    Thanks for the replies chaps. Electrician has been out this afternoon and had a look at what I want to do. He has suggested some changes and we have agreed a way forward. He is quite happy for me to pull all the cabling through and essentially do most of the first fix. He has also given me the...

    Add 2nd CU?

    No, the pipe is not bonded unfortunately. Earths anywhere in this house seem very hit and miss!! I have begun to realise that I would be best getting a plan from a spark. Its just that I want to get the cabling in asap as I am on a bit of a deadline and its proven difficult to actually get a...

    Add 2nd CU?

    The main incoming water supply is lead which then goes to copper so I assumed it would need earth bonding. I was therefore planning to pull an earth through all the way to this incoming pipe.

    Add 2nd CU?

    Is the modern method now a supply coming into switch from previous light rose, cable up to new light rose, neutrals joined at the switch, and live split at the switch?? So in terms of cables I would have an incoming supply at the rose, a supply down to the switch position, a cable back to the...

    Add 2nd CU?

    Hi all, I am refurbishing my house bit by bit and the next big job is fitting a new kitchen. The whole house needs a rewire and this will be done as I refurbish each area. The house is fairly big so cable runs can be quite long. A couple of years ago I had an electrician install a metal CU and...

    Holes in roofing membrane

    Hi all I have a large garage under construction and it’s currently got a white membrane on covered by battens (not sure what you call it) on the roof. I had a fire in the garden and unfortunately the wind picked up and blew some embers over the roof and I now have a number of small holes in...

    Backing Coat - Wykamol

    Just in case it is of any help to others I spoke to Wykamol and they said just mix SBR and water 1:1 and add some cement to make a slurry. Paint it on as a key for the renovating plaster coat.

    Ten Inch Skirtings

    Spoke to the manufacturer this morning and to be fair they offered to replace them but I can't be doing with the hassle.I am now reducing the height of the shoulder with my power plane then gluing together. Done the first one and whilst its a bit annoying I am getting there.
