    Bypassing outside light sensor

    OK I managed to get some photos behind the light switch (its a three gang switch) closest to you in the pic is the outside light the other two are downstairs and upstairs lights. I couldn't pull the switch anymore forward as the cables are quite tight. I can see where the white cable (seen in...

    Bypassing outside light sensor

    Hello, I have an outside dawn to dusk sensor which has failed. I don't want to replace the sensor. All I want to be able to do is turn the outside light on and off using the light switch.

    Repairing wall after removing tiles

    Many thanks for your reply. The depth of the broken off plaster is about 2-3mm. So just to clarify would I use the bonding plaster to completely level the missing parts of the plaster with the rest of the wall and then skim over the entire wall with the multi finish? Thanks

    Repairing wall after removing tiles

    Hello, I've just removed some tiles in my kitchen. I aim to re-tile the same area once i've fitted the new kitchen. What is the best method to repair the wall ready for re-tiling? I've attached a picture, not all the plaster has come off the wall, it's just very patchy. Many Thanks, Glyn.

    Hello, I'm getting a replacement TPA ACR-7 LPG changeover regulator installed as the existing one has developed a problem. Currently the regulator is externally mounted on our garage wall and is exposed to the elements. Do regulators need to be covered by a housing to protect them from the rain...

    Wiring in a bathroom extractor fan

    Cheers for the reply Doggit. I just want it to work when we either use the shower or have a bath. I did look at Humidstats but a standard switch will do what we want and is alot cheaper. I'm thinking of installing the backbox in the wall myself and running the cabling from the backbox to the...

    Wiring in a bathroom extractor fan

    Hello, I'm going to get an inline extractor fan fitted in the loft. Currently the bathroom has a pull down cord. I'm thinking of getting rid of the pulldown cord and instead having a 2 gang switch outside the bathroom (one switch for the light and one for the extractor fan). I don't want the...

    New bathroom extractor fan and light switch

    Thanks flameport, if I do decide to install the 3A FCU i'm assuming it's perfectly ok to have it located next to the inline fan in the loft out of the way and then to have an isolator above the bathroom door. Thanks Glyn

The electrician suggested wiring up the fan from the bathroom light and installling a pull cord in the bathroom to switch the fan off and on, as we didn't want it switching on with the bathroom...

    Trying to cool my new AV cabinet

    The power supply is a DV-1280-3UK from what I can find on the internet is a regulated one. Im planning on plugging the fan and ps3 into a seperate surge protector so the fan only comes on with the PS3. I think I will get one of those intelligent plugs or panels to make controlling everything easier.

    Hotpoint WD420 filling with water

    Hello, My Hotpoint WD420 drum was full of water this morning after carrying out two washes yesterday with no problem. I pumped the water out but it quickly reappeared. It looks like it is the fill valve which is the problem. I have found one for around £35. Is this part an easy part to...

    Decking and handrails suggestion?

    Thanks Thermo, I agree that the handrails may make the area too cluttered and closed in especially since there is another larger patio to the left of the proposed decking.
