Brilliant, thank you. It'll be in a junction box or wago enclosure and I'm going to pull it back a bit to somewhere accessible, should I need to get at it later. Didn't see the point in getting some single and earth for a meter but if I see any before I get round to the job, i'll pick some up.

I'm moving my ceiling rose about a meter and one of the cables (neutral + earth) is just a bit short and need extending. Can I use t&e (which I have) and just use one of the cores to make it longer or have i got to get a length of single and earth. If I can use t&e, should I trim the other...

Hi, As the title suggests, i'm looking for a recommendation on the right primer for my floor. Its got a very faint hint of black glue that held (or not so well held) the tiles in place. Those 9x9's that probably contained asbestos that seem to be in everyone house. I've read that normal...

Here you go. In doing so, i've pretty much confirmed it is a spur from the ring. its not the best picture due to limited wire but I can clearly see the top two wires are in the "Load L" and "Load N" Then the T+E from the other sockets and from ceiling void are together and marked "AC ONLY L"...

I'm assuming they all are all covered by an RCD, it says that on the box. Maybe i'm using the wrong terms (MCB/RCD etc). Pic attached. It is definitely off the sockets circuit (i've just tested) but i've also managed to force the socket off the wall. It turns out there is a third set of wires...

Thanks for the replies. We had the electrics checked on moving in (2019). He replaced the consumer unit, added a few sockets and tested the existing wiring then. I'm going to check its definitely not on its own circuit this afternoon, when I can flick the mcb's one as a time. There are two...

Hi, When I moved into our house (its a late 70's house) we had the old heating system ripped out and put a combi in. This left some wiring which, for me at least, has always had a blank plate and the wires were "dead". Since starting the kitchen remodel i've found the switch that controls...

Hi, I've been swapping some light switches and light fittings recently and being an older house, late 70's I think. I found the lighting circuit runs off this wire, this being the live to all the switches, with an accompanying sheathed (red or black depending if its from the switch to light or...

Hi, I have a patio with ACO drainage for the water run off as the soil all around is clay and when it rains the area drains very poorly. My issue is trying to extend the ACO down the length of the house (we're laying a path anyway) to the down pipe of the guttering (Easiest option). I was hoping...

Hi All, I'm sure this has been asked a million times, but i can't seem to find the answer I've drawn my own diagram and was wondering if this is OK / Correct before I start down the path of doing. I'm trying to fit an extractor fan (with timer) to the lighting circuit. The instructions...

Cheers Footprints, I mocked it up last night and the OH wasn't happy with the small sides. She preferred option C when it was on the wall. Cheers Adam, I can't go landscape as the other wall is already done portrait. Thanks guys.

Which is best option? A, A layout where there is a small slither (circa 1 inch) on the outer edge (both sides). B, A slither (circa 1 inch) on either side of the window. C, Move the centre point of the tiles over slightly (This option does however mean the basin is central to a tile. I...

Hi, I'm currently looking at tiling the bathroom and the wall to the bath has a bow from the centre outwards, meaning at the extremes are about 5-6mm out. I have packed out the first row as in the picture which has meant that the extremes have now got about 12mm of adhesive. My first...

Thanks guys. The toilet is staying with the current configuration until the tiling is done. Then I'm hoping to twist the soil back (hopefully no 20 year old creaking sounds this time) and try the non-flexy approach first. Brilliant. Many thanks to you all.

HI Ree, I haven't got any pictures of the connector being a little short but I do have some of the current setup which may (with the diagram) help show the angles i'm working with. Shows the soil stack twisted to accommodate flexy. Plus show good seal to pan. The tile is not yet on...
