Thanks for the reponse and advise guys. I've put flashing tape up as a temporary measure until I can source some ubiflex at a reasonable price.

Hi Guys, Some ***** has nicked my lead flashing from my newly layed garage roof. The garage roof is pitched to the side of the house. The lead flashing was mortared onto the side of the house brick walls and layed over the tiles on the garage roof. I don't want this to happen again, so don't...

[/url] Hi, Thnaks for the response. Yes your right. I have mis-labelled the wires again. Here is what I meant: 1st cable : live to supply live. switched live to load live: 2nd cable: live to supply netutral. switched live to load neutral. Appeciate everybodies comments. Many...

Thanks guys. I'll give it a go. I'll disconnect the neon light as suggested. So, this is my plan to wire: 1st cable : live to supply live. Neutral to load live: 2nd cable: live to supply netutral. neutral to load neutral. That's how I have interpretted what you guys have suggested...

Thanks for the reponse & help guys. Really appreciate it. @Paul_C, yes, that's what I want, for the fan to come on when the pull switch is switched on. It's a timed fan, so, it will over run when the switch is switched off. Referring to this diagram...

Thanks for the reply. Just looked at the wiki, and as you state, a double pole pull switch should do it. will this ok? http://www.screwfix.com/prods/86784/Electrical-Supplies/Switches-Sockets/Chrome/Crabtree-Low-Profile/Crabtree-Pull-Switch-Chrome-50A Missis will want a chrome finish :evil:

Thanks for the reponse. I should have stated the intended purpose which I forgot. This is to wire a ceiling light and a extractor fan in the bathroom. What I have is one connection for the extractor fan. One for the ceiling light. The extractor fan is connected via a fused spur outside the...

Hi All, Does anybody know if there is a pull switch that can be brought which can operate 2 seprate power feeds from 1 switch. let me explain in a bit more detail: a 2 gang light switch allows 2 separate connections to it at the back (cable a and cable b). the 2 gangs control each cable...

He has only channelled the wires. He was supposed to get an electrician in to connected everything up and certify. I guess I have to look for one that's willing to do the job.

Again, thanks for the reply. You are right. When I said neutral I meant it by the colour of the wire. In technical terms it's the switched live from the rose as you say. Sorry for the confusion here. I'm still trying to figure out your diagram and explanation. But would my understanding also...

again, thanks for the resonse guys. this is how I understand it. if it was 3 core and earth being used: 3 cables at the rose loop in, loop out, switch. At the first switch would be the switch cable at the rose + a 3 core and earth going to the other switch. the switch cable at the rose would go...

Thanks for the response guys. Its become much clearer now. The wiring is the same as 3-core and earth (at the switch) only the live and neutral come from the rose to each switch, with COM coming from the cable running between switch to switch with a redunant core.

Thanks for the response. That does make sense but I cannot work out why there is 4 wires coming out the ceiling. My guess is that there are 2 switch wires and 2 for the loop. By your explanation i'm guessing that because he didn't use 3-core and earth, the only way to get live and netural...

Hi Guys, Wondering if anybody can help me. I am trying to figure out how my builder has laid the wires the light in the garage. He's done one, and left the jobs. The design for the light is a 2 way lighting circuit whereby the light can be switched on or off at either end of the garage. This...

Thanks very much for your help guys. I take it this is all above board for the 17th. Regs?

Taylortwocities, many thanks for your response. Diagrams are very useful. I take it from looking at the digrams that if there are 2 extorior lights that need to work off the same switch, that there would be 2 cables coming out of the switch to feed each light. Therefore to confirm my...

Thanks for the response guys. The issue I have is that the switch wire would be chased up the wall into the smallest bedroom (uder the floor boards). If I site a jb there and take this switch live outside, then once carpeted the jb will no longer be accessible. Chris, How can this be done at...

Hi All, First post so please take it easy on me. Under the current regulations, from reading around, I understand that any use of JB's or ceiling roses need to be accessible. Question is what is classed as accessible. I've read a few people comment that underneath a floorboard covered by carpet...
