Thanks jj4091, good information indeed. Cheers Bison

Hi all, I seek your knowledge and guidance. I am carrying out a substantial refurbishment to my house. As part of the refurb i installed a Poruguease Sandstone fireplace. I was prestty chuffed with my efforts too. As i had other stuff to do I covered the fireplace with a dust sheet and...

Thanks all. All good advice so I am going to use a rail system and that should sort it. Much obliged all. Regards Bison

Hi all, Apologies if I am not in the right section, please advise if not. I am fitting a kitchen and the first problem I have encountered is not unusual but is causing me some grief. I have quite a few base units some standard height some tall (Larder, integrated Fridge, freezer and cooker)...

Hi All, Task. I am self levelling a concrete floor with no DPM. There is a discrepancy of 40mm over 50% of 9m squared floor. Once the floor has been levelled it will receive a micro bore, low profile, wet under floor heating system. I want to lay a liquid DPM, prime, use deep fill sell...

Thank you EFLImpudence.

Hi all, I have purchased a bathroom extractor fan and there is no terminal for an earth wire. It is an Xpelair DX100HTS. I also have purchased a LAP 3 poles isolator switch which also does not have an earth terminal. I have wired in the fan from the lighting circuit through the isolator...

OK Guys and gals, Without putting too much detail on the issue the work I am having done/doing will be checked and certified by a qualified electrician to comply with Building regulations. I am simply providing a supply cable, not connected, as I have the floor up and easy access. I just...

Hi Winston thanks for your input. The cabinet has both a light and a shaver socket. I would happily add it to the lighting circuit if it was just a light. It is the shaver socket that is causing me the confusion. Can I have a shaver socket on a lighting circuit and are the any additional...

Thanks again for the info. My old CU is RCD. I will be having a new CU because I have additional circuits for new bedrooms my roof. Once again can I draw you to the question of supply. Is there any difference wether the supply is either ring main or lighting circuit? I would like to choose...

Thank you for your comments thus far. I have fat fingers and put too many E's in IEE which is now irrelevant because it is now IET. So yet again I have learned something new. I will be having a new consumer box fitted in the near future so all circuits will be RCD protected. Essentially...

Good morning all, I would like to install a Bathroom cabinet that has a shaver socket and light from scratch. I am quite comfortable with IEEE Bathroom Zones. I would like any relevant advice regarding this task but specifically the supply (ring main or lighting circuit?) and do I need an...

Thanks Dazlight, That's a great help. Really appreciate it. Bison

Hi Dazlight, Thanks for your reply. I have just read the Data Sheet on Uzin PE 404 and it states the following for the preparation: Remove any soft or weakly bonded layers, e.g. separating agents, all residues of adhesive, levelling compounds, coat- ings, sealers, care products or paint, etc...

Hi all, Sorry to be a pain but I am pretty confused. I have lifted and mahogany parquet floor and found that the block adhesive used was bitumen. What I am left with is a concrete floor with a bitumen residue that I would like to self level in preparation for low profile under floor heating...

Hi D, Please accept my apologies. I misinterpreted your instructions initially and it was late last night so I put the wiring back to its original position! Had another go this morning and took into account you latest post. It made a lot more sense. Sorry I am a bit dull but I think...

Hi D, Slight hiccup! No heating now. Having disconnected the Brown wire it appears that the valve does not work to let the water into the central heating system. There is however another live which is an Orange wire to the programmer! Should I try your instructions out using this orange...

Hi D, I have carried out the advice you have given and most importantly I have not blown anything up which is comforting. The boiler seems to switch on and off via the thermostat so that's good. I am going to monitor it over the next week so fingers crossed it will be ok. Thank you...

Thank you D that's very helpful info. I have just got home from work so I will try it tomorrow and let you know how I get on. Thanks again. Bison108
