1. I would ideally like to get rid of the light all together. But its beyond my skill/knowledge. 2. Hes too young to understand wifi (!)

Hi, Long story short, I have a spot light with a flick on/off switch underneath. It it low enough on the wall for the kid to now start turning it on and off (and moving it). Im looking for some sort or guard (wire mesh, plastic, glass, etc) to cover around the light to stop him getting to...

Hi. Quick question. Iv (permantely) removed a wall light. Which I will fill in the hole in the plaster board. I need to 'terminate' the wires and push them back in to the wall before plastering. What do you normally do? I'm inclined to use Wago's and insulate with tape. Any other...

Thanks everyone for taking a look and replying. Looks like a simple light replacement may take a bit longer.......!

What i wasnt confident in, was the fact that the 'N' had two wires connected to it. What is probably obvious by now is the fact im a novice at this (!), and if anything isnt straight forward i like to double check and from past experience people on here know what their talking about! I just...

No. These are images of how it look, once all the wires are exposed from the ceiling.

having a close look, there does seem to be a 'naked' cooper wire which is taped up and pushed into the ceiling?

Thanks both very much for the replies. Sorry i didnt go into enough explanation. I will post photos in the morning. There are 3 red wires pushed up into the ceiling away from the 3 black 'cables into a 'chock block' I describe them as cables, although its the out-a-casing which is black...

Hi, Im replacing my ceiling light fitting. Once i removed the original light and exposed the wires, they had 3 wires, all in black cables, into a block. The block simply had N with 2 of the wires into it and L with the other wire entering it. Obviously the new light fitting has places for...

Hi, Im hanging lining paper for the first time! Before painting the room. Was wondering if there was any general tips to share? Have done some research on websites but was just wondering what the main do's and dont's! Cheers :?

Thank you both for your replies. The building survey report was carried out by a surveyor recommended by the mortgage company. The surveyor only commented on the fact that a wall had been knocked through, he did not mention a specific problem, only that we should check that the correct...

Hi, We are in the process of buying a house. The backroom diner/kitchen has been knocked through, which the owners state was done in 2000 and an rsj was installed and no building regs were required. The owners have no paperwork to confirm this and I was wondering if there was an easy way of...

ok cool, a electrician fitted it but gave us all the doc so will check, thanks

Thanks for the advice, it was only fitted about 8 months ago so hopefully it is just the rubbish in it, will give it ago!

Yeah in the cupboard next door, i did unscrew that and have a look- but couldn't see anything obvious inside which could be wrong?

Hi all, I have a Vent-Axia Solo SELV 12 extractor fan (http://www.vent-axia.com/domsel/overview.Asp) in my bathroom. Its connected to the light pull cord so switches on/off with the light. However recently it hasn't been working, when i pull the light on no fan. I was wondering if theres...

As embarassing as it is to admit it! Yeah the cover wasnt on, i persumed it would just work with or without, but looking at it closely you can see the gold clips behing were you clip the cover on! All working fine now thanks, thanks for all your help. Cheers

Ok, well thanks for your help ill invest in one tomorrow! I was told to just wrap it into insulation tape and not worry bout the terminal block!

I dont have a voltmeter to hand so cant check unfortuntley, thats what i thought with three wires cant really do to much wrong! The instructions say to 'connect the live and neutral wires from the wall to the terminal block which already have the live and neutral wires from the light. Then the...

Hi, Our shaving light broke a while back and iv been trying to replace it. When i removed the old one it obviously had the Live and Neutral wires and the earth (which was attached to the fiting with a screw) Having bought the new light i screwed the live and neutral wires in to the terminal...
