I would be grateful if someone would give me an estimate/realistic idea of a quote for the plastering of a ceiling 2.4 m x 3 m. The plasterwork would be onto plasterboard. Many thanks.

Hi! I have uploaded a photo of the casing of the shower unit as requested. Many thanks in advance.

The Shower is a Triton Power Shower thermostatic. The reference number next to the date on the instruction booklet is 2180405D - March 2007. I've checked the shower unit and the instruction booklet and can't find any other model details.

I have a thermostatic Triton Power shower (installed in 2008) which is fed by the cold water tank in the attic and the hot water from the cylinder. The hot water has a Flexcon 12L pressurising cylinder in the central heating circuit. I am finding that the pump on the shower won’t work on most...

I don't think that they are 5050 LEDs. What I have is a set of Halolite HA-STH050 Single colour LED strips that came with a 16W Constant Voltage LED Driver. The connections are all 2 pin - the LEDs are mounted in the strip which can be cut shorter if required. The transformer is a Halolite...

Thank you for replying so swiftly. The 500mm LED strips can only be connected with the plugs and leads provided - ensuring correct polarity. I think the strips are connected in parallel. There is only one way of connecting these lights to each other and to the driver unit and the instructions...

I recently bought a set of 4 LED strip lights which came with a driver unit but the catalogue listing stated that a transformer was also required. I have installed and connected up the LEDs, the driver and the transformer with a 3amp fuse connection. The LEDS won't illuminate. Please would...

1. Fit the chain - to be done ASAP by me. 2. I can't put any vents in the wall of the utility room as the walls are concrete and unbelievably hard to drill through. Additional vents would mean getting a modified sealed fanlight glazing unit made up. ( I don't think my venting cat flap will...

Muggles, thank you for your reply. The kitchen is small - 11ft (3.35m) by 2.1 m by 2.4 m. The casement window that used to open to the garden opens into an extension utility room that was added in the 1970s. There is a fixed circular vent mounted in the glass. The only door from the...

I'd appreciate some Corgi insight please. I have a gas cooker in a kitchen within a house so it does not have an opening window or door to the outside. I do have a 6 to 8 inch diameter bore through the cavity wall from the kitchen to the outside world - it runs diagonally to make it passed the...

Looks like I have a similar issue although my cooker is older and in a room that has an extractor fan to the outside world but no opening window to the great outdoors. British Gas have labelled the cooker as 'At Risk' which leaves me with the challenge of getting a new fan which can be...

I have a 30 year guarentee certificate that was dated in 1977 for ICI Cavity Wall Foam insulation installed in my house. Is there likely to be a need to top up the insulation or renew it with a more modern variant - assuming that there is space for any more. Any guidance would be appreciated.

Many thanks for all of your assistance! The wires were indeed the correct way around - tried another PIR fitting and all is working as it should be. All work completed in daylight and before the rain set in!

Thank you All, rain stopped play so I will hope for drier weather tomorrow to get this 'simple' task sorted out!

Okay - will go and get the multimeter - I appreciate that I am going to sound dense here but I am assuming I put one probe on the Earth terminal and one on another wire ie measure the potential difference (voltage). If I am not on the correct track please advise.

I believe PIR is triggering because I can hear it click as if it is switching when I walk across the beam catchment area. It then clicks again a short time later as if it is switching off. I am going to test the two black wires by terminating them in chocolate box terminals, then I will...

Sadly the bulb fitting for a Standard Edison Screw bulb and not a bayonet fitting.

Many thanks for replying. I have checked the instructions and all seems well re installation although I haven't checked the identities of the black wires - perhaps I should change them around. Any idea why the PIR is triggering if the wires are around the wrong way? The commission sequence is...

Anyone any ideas please? I have tried to replace a non PIR lamp with one with an integral PIR. The original had both reds connected to a terminal block - one black wire to the neutral terminal of the plain lamp and another black to the live terminal - so I placed a piece of tape on it for future...

Please accept my apologies if this is a daft question - What determines which size of Surrey Flange I should be used with an all in one power shower? Thank you for your assistance in advance.
