Oh yes...and thanks Agile / Tony Glazier for your ' only DIYERS think...' comment...but as far as I know this site is about and for DIYERS!!!

yes good point...he says he is very cautious. My understanding is that tthe joint with the bottom of the tap with fibre) washer can weep at any time...ie as much as 6 months or a year later. This happened with a toilet ...and caused some famage

Oh right...well 6000 btu is a big towel rail!!! so maybe as space is at a premium on the walls I should have a radiator below with a towel rail above...but don't like the sound of that. not sure there is oom for a radiator anywhere else...unless I put it beneath the window.

Okay, cheers in afvance. I know I can only get one 45cm wide to fit on the wall, but height isn't much of a problem. The room is 2.7 x 3m and varies in height up to about 2.4m at highest point, but alot lower than that at lowest point. The window is single glazed and 1.2m x 1.2m. The...

errrr.... I use a Mac. Is there anything else, web based perhaps?

My plumber is worried about putting the taps in the middle of my new bath as it is against a solid wall...so no access from behind if any leaks, otherwise it means ripping bath out if leaks happen. He suggests chasing pipes into wall and using a wone unit bath filler attached to wall...

Sorry if this has been done already, but could not find on this site. How do I calculate for a towel heater in a bathroom? I need to calculate awttage or BTU's cheers

Can anyone confirm the above please?

Ah okay. So maybe I should be doing this: Live Supply to L1, Live load to L2 Neutral supply to L3, Neutral load to L4?

Not sure there would be horse hair in a 1920s Just removed a celing in my 1902 House, and it didn't have any horse hair....just very crumbly mortar and black soot! I think you can get a special drill but for drilling the holes for downlights...this may go through the plaster and...

Great thanks...downloaded several pages of bathroom zone diagrams and followed those.

Thanks for that. Got myself a multimeter. Found out that L1 and L2 work together and L3 and L4 work together. But for some reason the little LED is on all the time (if quite dim) although the switch works on and off? Not sure why this is. ?

errrr....don't have a multimeter!

Hi, I am wiring in an extractor fan from a live feed to a wall light. I have put a junction box into the live feed to provide power for my fan, then a fused switch to isolate it, then a pullcord, then the fan. The pullcord has 5 terminals L1, L2, L3, L4 and earth. I know that it is just...

ok bought a fan, and it says that in addition to the pullcord switch, I need to add a double pole switched fused connection unit to the supply and it has to be outside the room?

Cables will run behind plasterboard over ceiling joists, will this be ok?. Did not know that you could get special junction boxes, but will investigate

I have a wall light in the bathroom with a permanent live cable to it - the light has it's own integral switch. Am i right in saying that if I put a junction box in this cable I can provide a cable for an extractor fan broken by a fused pull switch, which is then wired into the fan? This...
