Do all your tiling first and then vinyl after. Whoever cuts the vinyl in will do it tight up to the tile so no trim needed. The depth of the vinyl and ply will cover any cut edge on the tile. Depending how wet you expect the floor to get, you can use a small bead of clear silicon on the edge of...

Well to be honest I have only just put the washing machine out there (yesterday) and my brother said I wouldn't be able to empty both the bath and washing machine at the same time, and mentioned something about an Air admittance valve, I didnt want to chance it incase it flooded or something...

Good morning, I have a soil pipe coming out of the floor, in my downstairs bathroom. The toilet is obviously attached to it and a boss on the elbow of the pipe runs to a bath. The pipework has been adapted at some point so as the pipe runs off of the boss pipe a tee has been put in that also...

Not sure where that pic is from but from my understanding and the wiki: //www.diynot.com/wiki/_detail/electrics:special_locations_inc_bathrooms_and_supplementary_equipotential_bonding:bath_zone_17th.jpg?id=electrics%3Aspeclcn%3Abathroom_zones

Above 2.25m is outside of zones, no matter where is it!

If his ceilings are taller then 2.25 meters, then his spot lights are more than lightly going to be outside of any zone surely?

No doubt the work has to be done safely, and i'm all for more complicated work being notified or bring a qualified sparky in, but at the end of the day all we are talking about here is some re-routing of cable and some additional lighting points put in. This is where being too anal on the whole...

If your using cables that are already there, just get on with the job. If, and thats a big if, you are asked if any electrical work was done when/if you decide to sell the house, the answer with regards to this job is no. If using the same cable, how will anybody ever prove otherwise. If you...

Morning Chaps, Looking at a possible future project, I am looking at putting a whirlpool bath in a small extension at the back of the house. Would there be anything stopping me connecting the waste pipe from the bath to go straight out the wall and into the same gulley that the rainwater goes...

We tend to stick with either Hager or Wylex stuff. Not quite sure, and never heard that you are not allowed to use dual RCD on commercial jobs as Bill has mention, only the installer will know what board is best for the application.

Me and my partner done this. For some reason her previous employer gave her the figures for what she bought into the salon that she worked in then, (she is a nail technician). Saw the figures and a building that was run down but registered commercially as being a hairdressers with a flat for...

A quick look at the link supplied by riveralt, shows that nearly all of those double insulated fittings are to the correct IP code?!

Just for anyone who comes across this post for info. The two elements were fed from two seperate B16 MCBS, which were also protected by 30mA Rcds. Feeds into two FCU's and each element fed from these. Dont know about other tanks, but the tank in question, all protective devices with regards to...

If you took the Sw/L and neutral from the switch, why didnt you just take the Live aswel? Are you sure the neutral was actually the neutral?

Agree with Lectrician if this is possible. If you do decide to go down the FCU route, but do plan on extending these sockets in the ring later on, might aswel use 2.5mm Tw + E to save redoing it later?!

Nothing from taylortwocities and Bernard green? I guess I didn't really expect an actual answer!

What earthing arrangement do you have Stevo66 and what is the SWA feeding?

Come on now BAS, doesn't everyone know someone who has tried to change a light fitting thinking it was easy, only to wonder why it does not work, 'even though I put the cables back exactly how they were'? Ollieman, do as the other posters have said and your light will work fine. Remember to...

Ban all Sheds- All that link shows is 1) Someone lied whilst declaring that no electrical work had taken place and got away with it, even though the LABC knew it was going on and 2) Although it seems the LABC would have all the evidence that work has been done, not notified, and no completion...

The two reds that you have connected to the brown in the light, one of these and one of the blacks is your switch line. Thus switching on the switch has shorted the line and neutral. As said you need to find out which red and black is your switch line, the two reds then go into a connector (if...
