Hi Mike. No if was whilst the battery was disconnected from the trimmer. The battery just shows four red lights and won't charge at all.

Sorry forgot to mention that bit - it just shows the four red lights when I click it into the trimmer. So it's almost like the battery is refusing to power the trimmer due to some kind of internal error or something wrong with the circuitry? Although it isn't fully at 18v, I'd imagine it...

Hi. The battery on my gtech cordless hedge trimmer is playing up and I can't find any clues online as to what might be causing it. It's the 18v battery for the HT50/GT50 shown below Mine is showing four solid red lights when I try to charge it, or if I just press the green button. I've...

Hi all. Further to this I've now used the other part of the original waste extension after modifying it to accept the trap - had to grind off a lip on the end of it that was preventing the thread from meeting the rubber seal in the trap. Closed the plug and filled the bath with a few inches of...

Yeah thank you I'll see what I can do. I'm thinking of trying to use a 1.5' back nut to compress the lower seal and then see if I've enough thread left to get the mcalpine extension on (or even just the trap alone). The issue with using the extension piece to do the seal compressing is that I...

Thanks for the feedback Rob. Yeah the thread isn't that big as you say. It actually came with an extension piece on originally (below). However this piece caused the bath trap to sit too low and was the incorrect thread in any case to fit into the trap - the diameter was too large and so just...

Hi all. Wonder if you can please offer me some advice regarding my leaking bath trap. I've assembled my bath trap as per the hastily drawn diagram below. It's on a free standing bath and I'm using the waste that came with the bath. As you can see, I put a very small amount of Plumbers Gold...

Hi all. I'm trying to fit a McAlpine self-closing waste to a free standing bath as a standard bath u-trap is too deep and it obstructs the floor. The issue is that I have to use a euro waste adapter because the thread on the existing bath waste matches that on the trap. So this pushes the...

Thank you that makes sense. Ideally I'd want an air inlet at ground level. I was thinking my idea of the second air inlet at ceiling level wouldn't be as effective, but may at least help clear the steam in the air along the ceiling. I suppose I could try putting an air inlet at the bottom of...

Hi. I've bought a powerful extractor fan for my bathroom for a wetroom area. I've heard stories online about needing to have an INTAKE of air somewhere in the bathroom either through an open window/trickle vent or a vent in the bathroom door (or leaving the door ajar). I had a thought and...

Hi all. I'm installing a bathroom extractor and ducting into my loft area and as part of the ducting in putting a condensation trap just after the fan. It has a 22mm pipe connection on it and I was wondering if I could conveniently tee this pipe into the boiler condensate pipe which runs out...

Hi all. I've purchased a recessed shower head with integrated LED lights (below) and I'm fine with the plumbing aspect of installing it, but the instructions make no reference at all on the electrical requirements for the lights. There is a transformer on the shower unit for me to attach...

Great thanks for your help. Much appreciated.

Thanks. So would it just be a case of running two individual strands from existing switch to new switch, I.e neutral-neutral and live-live? I take it I wouldn't need to keep them together in the grey coating with an earth strand? Or would I? :unsure: sorry if that's a mega stupid question :confused:

Hi thanks for your reply. Yes I have a neutral feed into the light switch...

Hi all. Hope everyone's well. I'm wanting to add a second lighting circuit to my bathroom controlled by a different switch (this will be for LEDs). I've bought a touch control switch which lets me choose colours/brightness etc. I'm planning to locate the new switch on the wall just below the...

Hi all. A quick question on a bit of plumbing I'm putting together please. I've a sink and a shower waste that are emptying into the same run of 40mm waste pipe which runs under the floor and to the outside. I was thinking, to avoid any gurgling, I'll put a waste trap with an auto/built-in...

I'm in Greenhill

Hi I'm in Sheffield. The only references I've found to this material are for properties constructed by a Glasgow-based building firm, so not sure why it's cropping up down in Yorkshire! I think I'll need to get a structural engineer in you tell me whether I can remove these walls or not. I'm...

Ah think I may have found out what it's called - Bellrock Board / Bellrock Plaster. Has anyone heard of this?
