I also thought (amateur) that cavity walls between buildings are supposed to be a firebreak? That was my understanding too. Hence my post.

The house was built with the main cables running via the cavity 1986. I'm not adding mains cable to that run. I'm adding low voltage data cables to a new access through the cavity that is several metres away. The two don't cross or meet.

I've run data cables from an attic, via the cavity wall, to an attached building. I could have used the existing cable run for the mains power cables to the consumer unit in the same attached building but it's hard to get to, out of the way of the new run, and I wanted to keep power and data...

There's nothing behind the freezer except the compressor and heat exchanger coils. I think what you're talking about is inside the top of the freezer behind a large angled cover. I haven't removed the cover, but the draught coming up the pipe is fairly good which is why I think the fans and...

Hi. I've got a Hotpoint XAO95 T1 Fridge Freezer with a warm fridge section. The Freezer is working fine. After the due web search, and checking the hardware, I know that it's either the Temperature sensor, the Control Board, or the Damper mechanism. I've had the Damper mech out and it opens and...

Erm... yes.... ahem... I did that last time...:oops:

Ah I see what you mean, use the friction between the locking slide and its guides when it's slightly maladjusted. That suits me at the moment as I'm financially challenged. Thanks for the suggestion.

@gasservice1985: I'm turning the spindle with my fingers. So "a bit of bounce", is good. Thank you! @Gas2Air: Why is it a strange question? I have no idea of the internal construction of the valve so I don't know what it should be like and I'm trying to determine if it's healthy or not. I...

Hi, How does the Drayton Zone Actuator ZA5 valve spigot feel when turned manually / by hand please? Does each end of travel finish with a definite stop, or is it spongey / does it spring back slightly please? I'm talking about the valve itself here, NOT the actuator and electronics that snaps...

Hi, Can anyone identify the remains of this door lock from a circa 2001 UPVC Front Door please? It might be made by "Roto". It might have a Centre of 30mm, or 35mm, but as you can see that's hard to tell. The Back Set is approx. 90mm. The rest of the door locking mechanism has two "hooks" that...
