Thanks for warning. :) I would make sure the change was done by a professional.

The dimmers work for the old tungsten bulbs, and the fitments have rough service 40 watt golf balls fitted. Low power, I meant dimmable LEDs that work from mains, as tungstens do now. Hope I'm not muddying more, and wondering if LED for tungsten can be done one for one.

There are dimmers to control the lights in our lounge and dining room. They must be quite elderly as we have been occupiers for 17.5 years and our seller since new in 1971. The dimmers connect to 5 and 3 light fitments. Now the 3 light fitment flickers, when switched on, and, if dimmer is...

IIRC it looked quite different from what was there, so I made an enquiry of Roca, which identified part needed; £26.36 from Amazon.

Which is the most likely and where would it be seated, please? The units are approx 4" diameter

We moved in some seventeen years ago, and kept the previous occupants' wall lights over our bed. The lights must be quite old, our sellers being original buyers in 1971. Recently both lights' pull switches have jammed. Aware of the possible age of the units, should I even think of having them...

Part identified and fitted by very versatile family member. Thanks all for help.

Relative has pics. I will ask him to copy them to me, and hopefully post them here, as I'm hopeless with my hands,

I always scan such files to avoid any such danger as far as is possible. Will try upload button later. :)

Late 2007- early 2008 we bought a Roca close coupled soft close from a local builders merchant, but the receipts are lost. The flush mechanism has failed, but a relative is unable to find an original or other compatible to fit. As Roca make it very difficult to contact them except via their web...

I need to replace some blown double glazed units and have received a quote Prices are to supply and fit 4mm clear glass, silver cavity spacers, 5 year guarantee, no VAT chargeable. Location: Hampshire near Bournemouth. Are those prices reasonable for work doing and area?

I was aware the bulbs had to be the dimmable type, but thanks! :) The suggestion about doing each room in turn is helpful. My concerns are mix-and-match, and the ratings of the dimmer switches I'll need

Currently each room's switch is an elderly dimmer. The principle light fitting in the lounge has 5 lamps, each with 40 w. small golf balls. The dining room has a similar fitting with 3 lamps. I'm considering a change to LED both for the ultimate savings and convenience of less frequent need for...

Access to loft area not feasible due to my fitness and insulation. Thanks both for advice.

Our 70s built house has a flue rather than a chimney. This serves the fireplace in our front lounge. In the main bedroom above the lounge, we recently noticed some minor discoloration of the wallpaper. Yesterday, after a heavy storm, the discoloration was more spread and serious, though it has...

On. There'd be little point of a bell push or the inside of a locked porch door. ;)

@chivers67 Bell is on lockable porch, and front of house faces westerly.
