Actually - could I replace one of the cables in the junction box with T and E and then just run cables from spot to spot, would save me opening up multiple JB's in the loft. thanks

OK, thanks, I will go ahead and replace the cables with T and E from Junction boxes, thought I could get away with not having to go into the loft. :LOL:

Also, looks like the spotlights have been fed from numerous junction boxes, already seen a couple of them. see attached pics

thanks, just stripped back a couple of inches, no earth wire. cheers

guys - looking for some help, im changing out 20 year old spots (transformer) in my kitchen and replacing with mains spots and 5W LED bulbs. I thought it was easy as cutting out the transformer and using the cable that is feeding the transformer to now feed the new spotlight, this leaves me with...

Thanks I’m not planning to fit UFH.

For the floor, I assume this would need to go on top of ply or chipboard?

I am in the middle of refurbing my daughters ensuite (3mx2m) and was wanting some advice on best practice for a few things. I have stripped the bathroom back to stud work and plan to replace the chipboard flooring (22mm) with something? plus 6mm Hardie backboard on top, I plan to do the walls...

thanks for the feedback, the circuit is protected with RCD. I did reach out to an electrician, but they wanted £500, £300 of which is labour which I find extreme. I will take your advice and look at running the cables and get a quote for the connections.

I currently have a 40a MCB in my consumer box which was used to feed an electric shower, 10mm2 Cable. I know longer use the electric shower and was wondering if I could use the cable from the electric shower to connect to a hot tub. The 10mm2 cable is in the wall chase next to my bathroom, I...

I have some lever operated Wagos, will try them. Thanks C

Im fitting a Sonos system to my room, Sonos is being placed on the wall near the ceiling. The current Sonos cable isn't long enough to run from the back of the Sonos to the Fused Spur. I can order a longer cable but it takes a few days, I have a spare Sonos cable in the house. Would it be...

If I need to, that's what I will do, sorry for the delay in responding. C

Yip, concealed mixer and diverter mounted on a piece of plywood between struts. I have an inspection hatch, but I imagine it being quite difficult to try and remove the screws from the backing plate (Mixer and diverter), then push through by 5-7mm. The mixer and diverter back into bedroom...

Its a Bristan Wall Mounted Tap, Alp range, I have reviewed the instructions there is nothing around how far the spigot should be from the finished face. I phoned Bristan today and they have suggested 10mm is the minimum you need the spigot to enter the tap spout to create a proper seal. Based...

Thanks Rob, the face plate has a 6mm lip, im going to look at shaving 4mm off this, I removed the spout from the plate, the screw threads are about 7mm thick, wouldn't like to reduce that anymore. The issue is the plumber, he has not left enough on the spigot, he has left 22mm, looks like u...

Thanks Rob, I need to do something or the tap will just keep leaking. Do you think a slightly bigger O'ring at the front would help, looks like I have to be dependant on the first O'ring creating the seal. Could I add anything else between the O'Rings, such as PTFE? to try and create a seal. C

Yip, the chrome rectangular plate sit flush against the wall or the lip sits against the wall, it has a 6mm lip, then from the plate to where the pipe should seal is 10mm, therefore you need 16mm from the wall just to get to the start of where it should seal, the length of the pipe is 22mm...

the problem is that only one of the O'rings is going to seal properly, looks like the plumber has not left enough pipe coming out the wall for the spout to seal properly and cover both O'rings, this is why the grub screw has pierced the 2nd O'ring (closest to the wall), if there was enough...

I recently got a wall mounted tap fitted above my bath and when I went to turn it on, it started to leak between the tap facia and tiles. I removed the tap and found that one of the O'Ring on the mixer body male part was split. I thought this is easy I will just replace the O'ring, then I...
