Thank you both, much appreciated.

Hi there, I have seen lots of videos about planning out where to start with tiling. I am planning on doing floor to ceiling tiles in a bathroom. I once had a tiler who said to me that its best to have a full tile at the top/bottom because it looks better - except I cant remember if he said its...

Hi all, I have a vintage night light that I want to rewire as the holder has been removed. I was wondering what you might advise, the space is rather small and I think it probably had a very small bulb in it originally (light a fridge bulb) I dont want to spend much and was hoping to just run...

Hi All, I am working on some projects at the moment. I am working with cement and want a very fine finish that is suitable to use as a lamp base, raw. What mix of sand and cement would you recommend - just to get the good quality finish - I will add reinforcements.

Hi all. To follow up I bought a switched plastic bulb holder for 99p. The non switched version was 75p from wilkinson if anyone was interested. I ended up switching the lead and that fixed my problem I think I was getting a bad reading off my screwdriver. Long story short. Never...

Hi all The switch was purchased from Toolstation. There is a full length to permanently connect the blue wire and under the switch is a connector which the live wire connects to and tucks under the switch. I believe the switch is working. I will replace the bulb holder first and see...

Hi there I checked the fuse and its fine. I think tomorrow I will buy a plastic lampholder and then go from there. Thanks

Hi there They do lock into the base I dont think thats the problem. There appears to be a good connection between the bulb and the prongs so Im not sure why its not working. Once I understand how it works Im going to replace it with a earthed version

Im in the UK. They are supposed to look old as they are decorative. The top is metal. I do have another with an earth I can use but I wont be able to get that to work either. How do you mean mis alignment of the ceramic inset? I have taken it out and turned it round. I even replaced it...

Thanks for the help. Heres some pictures of how its wired. The two wires to the light bulb are silver wire not copper?

Im using a screwdriver with a little light in it. Im not sure what they are called but it lights up when theres electricity running.

Hi there I have wired a light bulb to a inline switch and then to the plug. I have tested it and there is a current right up to the bulb connector but the bulb won't light? Does anyone have any advice

Thats great thanks. I will make sure to pick up some choc boxes. Your advice is very much appreciated.

Hi there Thanks so much for that. I will double check the flex and replace it if it needs it. Would changing the joints and putting them in a flex connector be more suitable? Kind regards

Hi there I followed the instructions of a friend a while ago as how to repair the led lights in the kitchen from the attic. I connected the transformer to the existing wiring using a piece of normal plug cable. I did this with a set of terminal blocks and wrapped them in insulation. I want...
