Robbie, you say use Gloss but my experiance with gloss show's me that it go's yellow very quickly. Is there a gloss about that doesnt go yellow after a month or so ? HaC

It takes more time to post a thread and reply to nobs like you than to do a search. Sorry i thought this was a Forum where you actually post things to gauge conversation not just use it as a reference point. Clearly i was wrong. I'll go off a do my searching now - cock.

cheers thanks for that, i'll have a look in my local area :wink:

Very polite and helpful - Idiot.

Hi all, Ive recently moved into a house where the window's were down about 15 years ago. The inside plastic srrounds to the these windows and stained with the odd splash of paint and other things. Does anyone know of a miracle cleaner that would get rid of these staines making it white again...

Hi all, A DIY man here sick of rad's going yellow :cry: Can anyone point me in the direction of a decent Pure Brilliant White radiator paint that doesnt turn colour with age ? Can anyone also just run down the process of painting rads ? Do you need a gentle sanding etc etc.. Thanks...

FCU ?? I thought you couldnt spur off a spur ? Regards HaC

I already lobied by Buildings Control when i had the situation. They agreed totally with me. All they cared about was getting the certificate, when, how or by whom (just so long it was one of the 'competant scheme', it didnt matter. My buildings control didnt have a clue about Part P, he even...

As i said. It was there when we moved in. So please dont imply ive cut corners. From what you have just said just proves what a load of *******s Part P is. Exactly what i have said about infighting. NIC EIC slagging off Nappit and vica versa, when both are 'competent' under Part P. This is...

No idea, it was like it when we moved in. Inspected by a Nappitt Engineer who said it complied with all standards. Ive had no problem with it all.

Thanks for the HF tip :D The main switch triggers the whole board. Its all ok. It was inspected by a Nappitt engineer in 06, and passed ok. It must be safe as he was Part P. HaC

Its something to think about that for sure. Problem being is that we are in an old building with no cavity walls. Running it up through the ceiling will meen floor boards and carpet up, then the cost to put the carpet back down properly aswell. Nightmare. I'll make some phonecalls tonight...

I agree. Im not proposing anything. Just putting forward ideas so when i visit the local lecky's then i would have a better informed judgement with who to go with. With regards to the 'shoddy' view. Shoddy is all about opinion, would the 'shoddy' way fail Part P if it was done by a lecky, and...

Thanks all for the help. Just because something isnt compliant with Part P doesnt mean it isnt safe. My experiances with my house and the various renovations to it showed me that half the time Sparky's didnt know the Part P regs with the Local Building Control just as clueless. In one case, i...

I totally agree, but if you cant do a 'proper' job then whats the alternatives ? I need to try and explore all avenues hence all the questions. If the Fuse/RCD was in the shed rather that the loft then would that be acceptable rather that an RCD at the spur ? It will be armoured cable i will be...

Hi there, I'll try and get a picture of my Cu. Its in the hall so the only access to the outside is the front door which is uPVC. Otherwise to get out through a solid wall would meen drilling through to the lounge then out through the front or side. That would look crap, even it it were boxed...

Thanks for your help. So, if i ran it from the cable in the loft then i might aswell use the 2.5mm armoured as i wouldnt gain anything from the 6mm. I cant use the Cu. As i said, all the 'slots' are taken. Even if it wasnt, it would me drilling a hole in my new PVC door or side panels to...

Hi, Cant run direct from Cu, decoration, logistical and maybe capacity issues. There are no fuse slots loft for another cable. The only accessible power would be from the loft, which i think is a 2.5mm cable which is taken (is it called a spur) off the upstairs main. The shed would be a run of...

Hi, I have a 2.5mm PVC mains cable which i want to use as the feed to run outside for power to my shed. I do understand about Part P regs and notifiable work etc... but can you connect to this 2.5mm then run a larger size armoured cable from this, say a 4mm or 6mm or is there no point and you...
