Feels a bit like overkill for a lamp. Will probably just buy a rechargeable one and leave the socket as it is in that case.

Unfortunately not, no

Again, many thanks

I did think that was the case, but thought I’d ask the question. Thanks for your help folks, super informative

Can’t see that being an issue, it’s going to be one thing that sits there for the rest of time, so can stick a different plug on it. Say I were to put a standard 13A socket on there, would a single bulb lamp cause the breaker to trip? If not, what sort of load would?

12 inches. Socket only going to be used for a table lamp sized light

Photo attached for you (the white switch)

It’s wired directly into the consumer unit with its own switch and RCD. Nothing else powered from it, just the old alarm

Afternoon folks, We’ve got a decommissioned alarm in the house which is wired directly to the consumer unit via a fused box (pictured). Can I just remove the fused plate and rewire it with a standard 3pin plug if I am getting rid of the spur to the alarm panel, or is there anything funky that I...

Ah, think I’ve got you. That’s just wood down to the tile floor with a bad attempt at grouting. There’s a metal threshold strip on the step too

Do you mean the bit that’s circled in red? That looks like two small blocks that have been put in to close the gap to the floor, differing heights because part of it goes to the step and part to the floor

Morning all, We have inherited a wet room in our new house that has a few nasties hiding in it- have sorted the dodgy grout, leaky loo and busted shower, next thing is the door frame. At the base of the frame, there has obviously been some water damage from the splashback of the shower...

Possibly true. Also the garage is on a slope, so could well be seeing slight movements downhill

Much obliged, thanks, will go at it over the weekend

Hi all, Out exterior door that leads into the garage seems to have slipped a bit, meaning that it is now rubbing on the bottom left hand side when closing, and I need to properly slam it to get it shut. Any ideas how I can adjust it to lift it back up again and stop it catching? Pictures...

Yeah, the movement along the rail is actually smooth. So, oiled the world out of it and no change- seems that the top of the door has shifted a few mm which is causing the stick. Will have to play with it tomorrow to see if I can move it back at all. Anyone know if there are any bolts generally...

Hi all, My manual garage door has recently started sticking in the top right hand corner meaning I have to give it a kick at the bottom to get it to open from the inside in the morning. Obviously not keen on doing that for much longer as I'll end up sticking my foot through it... Any...

Not the prd then.... Sounds like new shower time

I think it is a stream actually, just a slow one that presents as a drip when it collects on the front of the unit. Would a PRV fail see cold water coming out, or is it fitted after the water is heated?

Hi folks, A little issue with my Triton Aspirante electric shower- when running, I get a drip of cold water coming from the base of the unit. I had the front off this afternoon, and couldn't spot anything obvious wrong, so I am turning to the internet for help! First thought was that the inlet...
