Why would it be destined to leak more and more? From the description and photos do you think it has been installed incorrectly?

It is still within the NHBC warranty. Would that be worth pursuing?

Should the vertical wall membrane have overlaid the horizontal roof membrane when sealing?

What is the lifespan of alwitra?

Bernard Green. You said: "is perfectly safe if done correctly". What do I have to do, to ensure correct fitting? Thanks

I feel that I should further clarify matters to Winston1 re the double socket. Although it is a double 13 amp socket it is only being used for/and because the 12V cctv has a transformer plug with 3 prongs. The double socket will also be housed in an external IP56 box 8 feet above the ground...

Hi FrodoOne Many thanks for taking the time to explain which wires to which contacts. I believed that was the method but needed reassurance, which you have provided.

Thanks to both for taking the time to reply. I have attached a photo of the double light switch I will be using. To ensure I don't wire incorrectly could you please advise which wires ie from the existing single (to be replaced) light switch and wires to the double socket for the camera should...

I am in a 7-year-old property. I want to convert a single light switch that currently controls a single outside wall light into a double, in order to switch an external 12v cctv camera. The exterior wall is clad and the current light switch is on the internal wall directly behind the existing...

Thanks a lot for taking the time to provide a considered reply to our problem. Weighing up your information and advice, as much as we like the tiled look, it seems that we may have to go in a completely different direction, so we don't want a repeat of the problem. In any case it is difficult...

Thanks to both for your replies. The only question I can answer is that I began to notice a few tiles lifting in 2019. It has slowly spread to others. It was a new build and an apparently highly skilled tiler laid the floor. Having said that I subsequently discovered that for the walls he...

We are in a 7 year old property with suspended chipboard flooring. The shower room is overlaid with plywood and screwed down onto the chipboard with really close spacing. The tiles are porcelain and the floor area is 2.6 sq metres. We can feel slight movement of about half of the tiles...

Thanks, Bernard I should not and will not again, put my faith in voltage sensing pens. I watched the electrician using one during installation and wrongly assumed that they were kosher. I tested with a handheld meter, and all was well, ie no voltage. I had immediately jumped to the wrong...

I am in a 5-year-old property, so all circuits are new. There are 4 x 240V 7W downlights in the bedroom. I decided to install a bedroom ceiling spotlight by means of a piggyback off one of the downlights. In preparation for installation, I switched off at the wall switch and the annotated...

Thanks

Thanks to both. That's a few pounds saved! Out of interest, what difference would there be because of 1000mA versus 300 mA?

I have a battery operated Response CL6011B Intercom/Doorbell. I want to use a power supply. A 12V 300 mA one is specified. Would a 12V 1000mA power plug suit, and not be problematic electrically speaking? I ask because I have a 12V 1000mA plug from a cctv camera I could use.

Thanks for all attempts to solve this. We originally had 3 down lights, but there was insufficient light next to the mirror, so we had 2 additional lights added by the builder, above the mirror. This was 5 years ago when we first moved in. The lights have been working fine again since I...

Thanks for your reply. Yes it is odd because it is currently working fine again!

Thanks for your reply. I could possibly do an ethernet cable link to a Homeplug, or direct to the router if necessary. I already have a close power socket because I currently have a powered wifi camera in place, but it is slow to notify on alarm and can only detect sound.
