It probably wouldn't conform. There's 18 inches of plastic pipe showing, embedded in a concrete slab backing onto a block / brick wall at the garage door end but some jobsworth fitting a smart meter thinks my house will blow up as a result. Corgi didn't pick it up when they checked the whole...

Just further and after more googling. SGN quote If SGN dig the trenches £796 +VAT If you dig the trenches £547 +VAT SGN to refit the meter £101 +VAT SGN to refit the meter and reconnect meter outlet pipework £203 +VAT These prices look reasonable and must be kind of subsidised...

Thanks for that, I thought deep down after googling all day that was probably the case. I guess we need to wait to see if these guys report it, what follows from then onwards and take it from there. I'm amazed that isn't a sleeve and was permitted outside in full glare of the sun and the old...

We had a large extension added about 15 years ago. The whole extension had to be piled (built on clay) and a concrete slab added. The old gas meter / cupboard that was previously on the outside wall wasn't touched and is now inside the integral garage of the new extension. The supply is now...

We're having quartz upstands. The boss has decided she wants a smooth wall between worktops / units apart.

Cheers. Would that area in the pic be suitable to be skimmed if I made good some of the dents and removed the flaking paper. I don't intend to skim it myself as lack the skill but would like to make it as easy as possible for someone else. edit... a bit of googling would suggest it needs a coat...

I've started removing tiles for a new kitchen. The intention was to get a plasterer (when we can find one) to skim / re plaster the walls as we don't want to re tile. There are five walls and hundreds of these tiles. In the pic of the utility I've removed the tiles and tile adhesive but as you...

That's brilliant, much appreciated.

Thanks for that. So as per post #3 ?

Thanks but now I'm confused following the post above....so having separated the wires do I proceed as you agreed was the correct course of action that I mentioned...or revert back to the original photo as per the post above (single red to L, two black to N and black switch plus two red to loop...

A friend called me around today. He's disconnected a light fitting to fit a new one without noting where any of the wires went (honestly not me I learnt that mistake years ago) I took this pic on arrival. I've identified the neutral on the cable on the left (1) as being the switched live but am...

Many thanks, yes 32 Amp standard cooker circuit. That will save a load of work and hassle.

Hi. We've had various quotes for a new kitchen. We're looking at replacing a gas hob with an induction hob rated 32amp / 7400 w. Below the hob will be two electric ovens side by side (13amp) 2770w as we have now. Two fitters have said the hob can connect to the current dedicated cooker feed...

I'd still have to take the skirting off on one side of the room to fit the laminate. I've always just removed it all and fitted new, mainly because the old stuff was nailed in and gets wrecked, just the first time I've had to deal with a threshold in the same room. A multi tool might come in...

Thanks, sounds like the answer. I'm getting the skirting from B&Q and I guess they'd do it under their 15 free cuts offer, if not I'll find a joiners, shouldn't be an issue. I don't have a circular saw or the ability to cut 12mm off a 2.4m length of skirting, no issue cutting to size or doing...

Thanks. The dining area (laminate) has about 30 feet of new skirting to fit, I think I'd struggle to cut that without the proper tools. I also now need to hide the rough edge, chipped paint etc on the walls where the old skirting was removed, the new raised skirting will hopefully do this. Any...
