Hi, thanks for the reply. Yes, I should have said - it's a Logic ESP1 30 combi boiler

Hi, Just a brief one. I've got a Google Nest learning thermostat, which claims you cant power it with greater than 12v. The heat link appears to replace the old thermostat, an OpenTherm ESRTP4+. However, there are only three cables, standard live, neutral, Earth. There are wiring diagrams in...

Cheers guys, I'll be doing it on the cheap with treated timber I think.

Yes, making my own is probably the way. I've done it before. Nice one

Hello lovely people, I've had somebody ask me to fit "just a shed door" and when I came to the job it was a door to a brick outhouse, with a frame. Both door and frame are rotting so both need replacing. The only issue is that the door frame is 197cm x 76cm and the door is 182cm x 68cm. Now, I...

So it's a case of never trust where anything could be and play it safe as possible? Yeah, I can dig that. Thanks

Well, at least that puts it into perspective! Thanks

So yeah, helped a mate take out sink, toilet, rip up floor. Installed new floor, went to fix new toilet to the floor. Previous toilet setup was different, you screwed in further away from the wall at the bottom of the toilet. This was a bracket you affix to floor then drive a screw horizontally...

Hi, I wish to tile this little corridor and the toilet at the end but as you can see there's mould on the walls - in the little corridor for example, there's black mould on the left side and the wall is flaking off a bit on the right. Now, I think I've read elsewhere that it could be possible...

Hi, I was just wondering if anybody could offer me any advice. I live in an old 30s/40s terraced house and I recently cross-lined the walls of my living room with lining paper with a view to wallpapering/painting. However, I haven't finished the job as the weather meant there were some outside...

As it turned out, all the lives wires were hidden and not included in the ceiling rose set up so it was all very straightforward. Cheers to all who helped!

Great stuff, thanks!

Hi, Just a simple straightforward question which I hope somebody can answer. I've managed to replace my flush valve by unscrewing the cistern and screwing the new part in and plonking it on the doughnut and screwing it all together. A friend had trouble flushing their toilet and I knew they...

Hi, I don't think I can do that, I think the terminal box connects to the cables going into the light so I need to use it.

The three earth... I think the terminal block will, as the link to the instructions in my first post shows all the wires going into just one section of the terminal block, similar to how it works in plug sockets. Hmm... I'll have to check the space. I might want to buy both things just to be...

Hi, I've got a couple of new lights and I understand the existing ceiling rose and how the nine wires from the three cables go in. I now have a light from Dunelm and it has a terminal box with two terminals for live, two for earth, and two for neutral. I have been looking on the internet and...

Sound, thanks. One question though... if the existing fan gets its power from the light being turned on, how do I ensure this fan comes on on the timer? The only electric stuff I've ever done is like for like swaps of power point, light switches, and light bulb sockets. Edit: it's ok, I've just...

Yes, it's a Manrose. I'm looking other ones up now, cheers!

Thanks for the replies everyone. Sorry for the delay in getting back to you all but I've only just been able to find the time to get on my son's computer whilst he is off it! Hi, the extractor fan is just over 6"x6" and looks like this: It comes on when the light comes on, which doesn't...

Hi, I had no joy with this on another forum so I thought I'd share it here. I wouldn't call it a plastering or rendering issue but this forum seems to contain all the posts about it so here I am. I live in a terraced house, two up, two down, with a galley kitchen. Years ago this house had a...
