Brilliant thanks for your help.

i think it’s therma block, it’s a white/grey colour block

hi, I need to repair a section in my plasterboard, i have cut out the section to make it square and ready for the new piece of plasterboard. I’m just wondering if it’s ok to just dot and dab it to the wall behind? There isn’t enough room to get any batten in to secure the new board to. Hope...

brilliant thanks for confirming there fine where they are, was just worrying they might touch something and cause a problem.

hi i have noticed there are two wires that are fed from the top of an rcbo then and go behind the bus bar and come out the bottom of the consumer unit. Is it safe to have the wires run behind the bus bar? thanks in advance

but surely if it was the rcbo it would still make the same noise without the bell transformer connected?

i’m pretty confident it’s not the rcbo, because without the bell transformer connected there is no hum! do you mean the bell transformer being hot? as to the touch it’s not hot at all! just makes the noise but i wouldn’t say it’s really loud i just noticed it the other night when everyone was...

so this is what i have, and with the bell transformer wired into the rcbo (with the red marking) it makes the hummming noise which you can hear more at night when everthing is quite, and in the day you have to have your head near the consumer unit, if i disconnect it stops, i hope this help a...

brilliant thanks for that you can only really hear it when it’s quiet at night but it’s loud enough to hear and i have rubbish hearing!! can i just replace with any bell transformer from somewhere like screwfix?

sorry i meant rcbo, the bell transformer is wired to the downstairs lighting ring rcbo in the consumer unit and makes a humming type sounds hen connected! when i disconnect the live going from the bell transformer to the rcbo the noise stops, so i was thinking maybe the bell transformer is...

hi, looking for some advice please, i have found that my door bell is wired to the downstairs lighting ring and it causes the rcb to hum/buzz and when i disconnect the live wire for the door bell transformer it stops. So can i just install a new door bell transformer to fix the problem? cheers...

ok I wil do! thanks for all you advice.

thanks for both your replies, I was thinking of maybe screwing some plasterboard in the side reveals so they level up with the original wall? the top part was a bit loose, but it's actually the soffit board from outside which is then cemented to to join the internal wall!!!! i found a timer...

evening all, I'm after some advice please, I have removed some plastic claddings from around my bedroom window and to be honest I was greeted with a lovely mess!! my question is what to do in preparation for the Plasterer as I would like the plaster right to the window for a nice neat job!! I...

thanks for both replies. should I dig out what ever is over the pipes and insulate them? having had another look the pipes run surface mounted behind the kitchen units and are then buried in the wall just before coming above the worktop!

Evening all, I'm after abit of advice if I may, the problem is i seem to have a hot and cold water feed running from my kitchen up to the bathroom above, these have been chased into the wall by the previous owner as I didn't know they we're there until I noticed what resembled a damp line on...

would that not just tell me if the uprights are level, i did try it on floor and ceiling but it said it was straight when you could see it wasn't if that makes sense.

hi all I am having a new kitchen fitted and on having the old one removed we have found an old door way bodged up and some very unattractive heating pipes so i have decided to build a stud wall to cover all these. This has caused a problem as the original wall is know where near level and...

Im hoping someone can shed some light and this is posted in the right place. In my kitchen i have one vent brick (if the correct name for it) near the ceiling and one just above the floorboards, from what i have found out these were used to vent the boiler that used to be in this corner of my...

thanks for all advice its much appreciate i think i will give it a quick rub down and a thinner mistcoat on top will this still soak through and into the plaster over what i have already applied?
