I currently have a wet room. I want to put in a bath. Currently have power into bathroom for shower, water pump (for shower) and extraction fan. Cable from the downstairs into the loft through surface mounted trunking into the loft area. I am keeping the electric shower and extraction fan and...

My sister has a rather large shed for which she would like to get some power and lighting set up (6 double sockets & 2 batten type lights) distance from cu to shed is approx 40ft. She needs to obviously get the cable run to shed cu (30mA RCD + 32 Amp + 6 Amp MCB's) done by an electrician...

My mother currently has power supply to garage (light and 1 socket) cabled directly from the main fuse box. The current socket is an RCD protected socket but it is a really awkward place for access in a corner (my mum is disabled) and I would like to move it. The actually moving of the socket...

Have had spots of mould in the corners of my bay window for some time now, don't think it's damp as when I laid a new wooden floor last year and removed skirting I could see the bare brickwork and it was dry as a bone. Seems to be worse in winter which suggests it may be condensation building...

I currently have the outside brickwork at the back of the house painted in masonry paint. It was done before i moved in and is looking a little tired now. Overall the condition is quite good, just a few areas of flaking paint. I would like to give it a bit of a makeover and would like to know...

Recently noticed whilst tidying up the loft that I have a rafter which is rotten about 3ft up from the bottom (screwdriver goes in about halfway in a 3x2) I can see there is a hole in the felt right above where the damp patch has formed. It is the rafter nearest the wall and rafters are about 15...

I have discovered I currently have no loft insulation at all. Current thinking is to board out loft for storage and as I only have 4x2 joists in my loft I would appreciate it if somebody could recommend what would be the most efficient insulation under 100mm. I appreciate it is nowhere near the...

Like most people in older houses my loft hatch is ridiculously small and I would like to put a larger hatch/ladder in place of the smaller one currently there. My question is regarding the joists on which I will be attaching the new loft hatch. I have 4x2 joists at present, the loft hatch/ladder...

I have recently changed some pipework in our kitchen. Whilst I turned the water off at the mains I neglected to drain the boiler (schoolboy error!), thus quite a lot of water was lost (presumably from the boiler) before I managed to stem the flow. The replacement pipework is all Ok, there are no...

Just doing up the kitchen and was thinking of putting up some lighting under cabinets as a finishing touch. Not sure what type would be best, presumably the ones with integrated transformers as I don't want a big lumpy thing tucked away in one of the cabinets. The stretch of cabinets I want for...

I have read some of the numerous comments on this site which has proved very helpful. I propose to run a supply to the shed via a fused spur from the back of the house since the main consumer unit is right at the front of the house and it would cause an awful lot of drilling etc to run it from...
