I was thinking of doing that but didnt know if it was a.) an acceptable way of doing things and b.) if it would bond to the exisiting brickwork firmly. Cheers for the advice.

A radiator has come off the wall. It had been hung on a brick wall which had layers of plaster on top! Problem is the screw as well as the rawplug has come out. and the hole lets is massive. What can I do top repair this and re-drill new holes? The holes need to be in the same place as the...

Its made of normal facing brick.

I've got a wall that is on the front of the house which I wanted put crazy paving on or at least give that effect. The wall comes out a bit more than the rest of the house and has two windows in it (if anyone can make out my ASCII art then the Ws denote the window). This section is single...

FWL - It isn't for my home. It's for one of my businesses. It's come to the point where more than 100Amps will be drawn due to the number of appliances! plugwash & Stod - thnx for the info. There does seem to be all three phases coming in and being terminated in the building but only one...

Hi Guys, how easy is it to convert a single phase property into 3-phase? How do 3-phase electricity meters charge? Am i correct in understanding that the wiring has to be done in such a way that the load on all three phases is roughly the same? What will happen if one of the phases is...

Ahh I get you. All that scarily reminds me of uni!! Is this bad luck otherwise people would be returning dimmers all the time?

Well I am very concerned! Its def not the MCB. There's two circuits. Both exhibiting the same behaviour. As you rightly say they are not overloaded because a.) I've done the calculations before rewiring and b.) they havent tripped. I've put in a brand new MK CU in there. Lighting is on...

I've nearly completed the rewiring of my house. All the ceiling lights are LV downlighters. I have put in cheapo dimmer swithes from TLC. The business end seems to be made by Home Automation. However I noticed that if i turn on lights in a room with a dimmer as a controller then I get buzzing...

Cheers for the advice guys.

I think I may not have been clear enough. I do want to put the switch on the outside so it's not within any of the zones in the bathroom. However I wanted to run the cable to the switch using a conduit placed vertically in the wall on the inside of the bathroom. So the back bxx and the conduit...

I'm putting in underfloor heating in the bathroom. The control switch needs to be on the outside of the bathroom. However it would be easier if I chased & placed the conduit for the wire to the switch on the inside wall of the bathroom. Is this allowed?

Its a thermostatic shower so only requires about 20Watts max as it takes hot water off the combi and cold off the mains. As to the bath I've decided that now I'm going to have 2 x 4 grid plates. I think a 32A MCB should be enough to supply the shower (20W), underfloor heating (150W) and the...

Chris, thanks, I thought of that already and looks like there are other geniuses that think along the same lines! ;-) I've decided to place them on outside of the bathroom wall at ceiling height (below the coving). I'm gonna use a 2 grid plate on its own for the fan as its off the lighting...

I'm re-doing my bathroom which has only the bare walls at the moment. Its not a very big bathroom - 4 sq m. Previously it did not have any electrics apart from the ceiling light. I am putting in an extractor fan - off the lighting circuit. I'm also putting in a thermostatic shower and...
