Thanks , I used this site a lot for years and from here got tons of work done helped by so many helpful knowledgeable people too! I don't live in the uk right now so am trying to educate myself and him and see where it takes us !

Tbf she is coming along great guns

That was my outlook 3 days,ago but All the talk of the spores getting airborne and finding new places to infest if disturbed... curtains, bedrooms, etc its almost asbestos like the way its portrayed if not dealt with safely that's the worry, id gladly get stuck in but any long term issues...

Thanks everyone for your replies regarding the red weed but moreover for the concerns for the mum to be. She is indeed being seen and advised and I think they may move out this week if a suitable company gives a price we can work with . Sadly no easy fix or happy ending here except to say...

The surveyors did say that,," floor coverings were not lifted etc " apparently the airbricks are very low outside and could be the issue but would think a surveyor might have noticed that . Not a great place for them to be right now. So no easy fix or cheap sticking plaster as I had...

Thanks , we are looking at maybe spraying in situ with bleach or something as much as possible and hopefully killing as much before we attempt to remove. He hasn't got that kind of money so its trying to do the things as he can as safely as possible and trying to keep the costs down , but...

My lad bought a house recently , came across a damp soggy corner under tge carpets ,obviously lifted ,,the floor was like porridge. Upon inspection th3 under floor is covered in a red weed , obviously damp has got in ,,possibly airbricks too low , maybe a roof leak but for now, getting...

I dug up the first tile section, and it was there on the bend a pinhole. The guy replaced the pipe so all good now just need Glastonbury to dry out and me to fix the tiling. Could have been 5he whole patio dug up so small mercies eh!

Found out yesterday my underbuild in spain is like Glastonbury in the rain.muddy as hell. Traced it to a leak from the mains to the house, its bubbling and fizzing but is that an indication that the leak is very close to that point or could it be 2 metres of concrete breaking away from the...

Hi I Had 2 electricians in today they have completed the job they said, they will email me their invoice details as proof of works. Apparently they said they removed my pushfit connectors and replaced with screw connectors. Will have a look when I'm home later on. Fingers crossed all is good

I am leaving it at this point and getting a spark in to complete the job so everything in place but he can connect it all and test it so I have just done the basic labour for him. If needs a plastic box I'm sure he will supply one for the Junctions as he is completing paperwork for the...

Thanks guys, I have put connectors JB on as the ip65 lights only have tiny holes to connect to. What core wire would I use from JB to led , 0.75 ? Here's a pic or two , first light is connected alone, nothing else as yet

Hi Winston, I did reply to you on the original post then saw this " outside of the uk page" so made sense to repost here! My reply was the cable was bought here and the earth is sleeved . I'm thinking of leaving the final connection for him to do , check it all etc ,hopefully sign it off...

Thanks for that Frodo as I asked astra, is it ok to daisy chained without a junction box at any point?

Thanks astra, yes at least one socket is on the same breaker as the lights! How to tell the capacity of the breaker? No real information on the mcb , added a photo here . Can I not just feed the wires in and out of each light, daisy chained ( with the earth wire run parallel linked in a...

In the Spanish store its marked as 1. 5 Is twin with an earth! The earth though is sheathed as in the photos. I'm asking as I don't want to finish off if there are problems later on. A spark could finish this in half an hour when the lights are here, so maybe that may be the case or as...

Hi guys, Flat in spain ( but no difference as far as i can see) Bathroom Light fitting has 3 wires brown L blue N green ( checked on other lights connected in other rooms) so looking to set up 4 LED down lights ip65 built in drivers. Using 1.5 twin and earth joining earths by Junctions and...

Thanks for that, I have a basic understanding, changed a rose for a quick wire fitting last week ,switch wires, loop in,out and wires to light, just this has an extra set and the hagar box was too tight so was asking about wagos, and as I said the pictorial information given by flameport will...

That's brilliant that , thank you so much! So a 2 connector and three 4 wagos looks right but you blocking them off like that is so helpful, to me it's spaghetti junction but that simplifies things for me and I'm sure others thanks again!!
