I cant seem to find what I’m after googling… I have a single gang brushed steel light switch surface mounted. I’m installing some 20mm wood strips on this wall and dont want the light switch to be ‘recessed’. Is there such a thing as a brushed steel ‘spacer’ I can easily attach to the existing...

Doesn’t make any difference Jim thanks. Thing is the actual tap body itself is ‘burning’ at the hot feed, but the tap is clearly feeding in too much cold water to the mix.

Thanks Jim - I had suspected that, but the builder tells me thats not the case, I had a look myself and theres nothing to see with the bath panel off. Apparently the scald safety is the tap itself? I’m in the bath now lol and its still nowhere near hot enough. I like when Its so hot you can just...

Thanks flameport. I’ve followed the instructions which are fairly simple now you’ve given me that guidance. On stage 3 I had to turn the spindle as far as it would go to get water that was remotely ‘hot’. For example, I can hold my hand under the bath tap with the spindle fully turned, but the...

Hi, New build house (builder has been contacted but if this can be fixed myself I’ll do it)… On the bath is a bath, hand held shower head mixer tap. Hansgrohe - https://www.hansgrohe.co.uk/articledetail-ecostat-thermostatic-bath-mixer-1001-cl-for-exposed-installation-13201000 Problem I have...

We moved into a new build house in July and had paid the developer to lay turf. We knew it would only be for a few short months while we waited to start garden design. We’ve now had about half the turf lifted to make way for a new deck and patio area as well as a large raised bed. Its fair to...

I tried terminals A&B on the sender but the chimes were chiming constantly. The manual suggests if that happens to switch the wires B&A which I did but pressing the bell push has no effect at all now. I've put it back to A&C with a new battery (again) and am awaiting further info from the...

Thanks again for all the replies. Pro sparky is arriving tomorrow to do the job for me!

Any advice appreciated. I puchased a Byron BY32 wireless doorbell extender - manual here https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0054/2054/8214/files/BY32.pdf?v=1637834150 My existing bell push and chime just isnt loud enough so this provides me with 2 additional plug in chimes around the house. When...

Thanks all - looks like I certainly need a pro in.

Not sure. The house is brand new build so any electrical work including the outside sockets will have been done to current regs. I checked the consumer unit and there isnt a specifically marked fuse for outdoor sockets, but there are two ‘RCD controlled circuits’ in there.

Thanks folks. Advice is good thanks. OK as a follow up then. If I buy a reel of armoured cable, attach a plug and plug it in to existing outdoor sockets and run it down to the deck and install a weatherproof double socket on the deck does that work? I get the new double socket is only...

Hi folks. Bit of advice needed. I have an existing double outdoor socket installed professionally on the back of my house. I intend to buy one of these -...

Yeah. I will. When it gives up. Its only a tenner for a new one, but thanks for your input.

The one you suggested worked just fine thanks and the fitting is now operational. My son has claimed it for his house so a good outcome all round. Thanks for your help.

The LED's are covered with a diffuser - this is the model - https://www.darlighting.co.uk/amplify-bar-pendant-aluminium-led-amp6268.html

Hi thanks for responses. Its from an existing brand new light fitting with integrated LED. It failed on day 1 of install after operating for a few hours. The vendor suspected the driver and the manufacturer simply sent me a complete new light fitting and told me to just keep the old one. It...

Ta - I'm not a sparky and when I look at websites selling drivers I'm kinda overwhelmed with the choices and what is and isn't like for like - if anyone has a direct link where I can buy one? Sorry to be a pain.

See photo attached - can anyone point me in the direction of a suitable or like for like replacement for this LED driver thanks -

Apologies - the limits of my electrics is wiring plugs and hanging the odd light fitting - I guess its the LV transformer, not the 'starter' I'm referring to. I suppose it could be anything in the actual fitting that has given up, but nothing serviceable by me thats for sure so back to the...
