I had 2 Wall lights in a study on one switch and 3 downlighters on a separate switch. I've run a switch cable from the Wall Lights JB to the JB for the down lighters combining all to the 1st switch. I'm adding 4 down lighters to the JB with the existing three. I've decided to loop in the new...

I'm laying loose underfloor heating in an upstairs bathroom. I've replaced the flooring across the joists with green tongue and groove chip. I've got blue insulation boards and just wondered how you'd fit these normally? Can I get away with using a gunned contact adhesive? I'll be laying the...

I've got a Sink and a drainer both draining into a clear drain outside. I've checked that water drains down the vertical pipe but with both connected water appears to back up and not drain correctly as if there is some form of vaccuum. What is the correct setup for the wastes for a sink and...

Had a Sunvic TLX 2259 in the Greenhouse providing power to a socket used to power the Greenhouse heater. It eventually died due to some corrosion and a wire working loose. I have a Comap Senso S1 Thermostat and I assume it could replace the Sunvic for this application? Previously the Sunvic...

Replacing a bathroom extractor fan switched by the bathroom lighting pull cord. Am I right in assuming that the feeds will be: 1 x Neutral 2x Live (1 being the switch) I'll naturally be having someone Part P qualified to make the connections/check them but I was wondering because standard...

A smallish Cylinder sits in an airing cupboard that has been crafted in the corner of an upstairs bathroom. Bathroom is small enough and I need the space back. Currently both showers are pumped and there are two cold water (CW) tanks in the loft joined in series. The Loft is boarded out but...

I've just retiled an overhang above a window and it appears I used the wrong bag of cement ! (ie the old one that damp had probably got to). I had to mix Snowcrete and normal grey portland cement to get the right colour mortar. I mixed 3 Sand to 1 mortar very carefully measured along with a...

I've had damp penetrating for a good while above a set of windows on the exposed end of a stone house. I've had the end scaffolded and I have removed the tiled window overhang. I've found that the Lintel has been chomped by woodworm (active - well they were until I nailed em) and was also...
