I think the OP has some spare stock of lights in the garage. Not intending to fit them in a garage.

Yes. The blue, brown and yellow/green earth will need to be connected. Your blue and brown might need a trim to get them into the connection housing. Probably obvious but isolate the power to your lighting before working on them. You may need a bit of earth sleeving. I think your bare earth...

Sorry. Those are with bulb integrated. My link included all types of Evofire. Better off going for one you can change the bulb in my opinion. These ones if you want chrome https://www.toolstation.com/integral-led-evofire-ip65-fire-rated-downlight/p28110 Separate bulbs. Dimmable option...

DIYer I use the Integral Evofire from Toolstation. Various sizes and styles available. Nice and easy to connect the 2 sets of wires with a maintenance free connection. Better than the terminal blocks you are using. https://www.toolstation.com/search?q=integral++evofire Paired with Wessex GU10...

I have Wiser. Have you tried contacting support? They are usually pretty good. You could try a hub factory reset...

Looks like you may be able to slide something between the splashback and cupboard?

I have the R185SMS (smaller blade) That is M8 16mm 1mm pitch left handed thread. Quick google and £6 for the correct part to secure your spinning wheel of death seems the best option :)

DIYer Only done it once for a 30mm lift. Mapei 3240 (3 to 40mm) worked well Couple of dips after this filled with 1210 (1 to 10mm) 1. Yes. Or the concrete will suck the moisture out of the SLC. Wickes do a smaller Setcrete SLC primer. PVA not suitable. 2. A few hours. 3. A few days for your depth

Have a google for STI01W The white version of your light. Presuming the glass is removable?

Might be worth looking at Drayton Wiser. You are then not reliant on hall temp to fire the boiler. If you have neutral at your hall thermostat this could be replaced by the Wiser hub. You can then have a remote thermostat wherever you want it. Or multiple thermostats. Also the option to add...

Have not used the Toupret joint and skim but imagine it does the same job as easifill You may get away with multi coats of Toupret J&S. Toupret filler is very good and useful to have in the garage/shed. I am DIY BTW but have done a fair bit of taping/jointing and filling. I would J&S the join...

Max 5mm for the joint and skim. You have probably gone too deep in one go. Toupret interior filler maybe better for the deeper filling. Good stuff. https://www.screwfix.com/p/toupret-interior-powder-filler-2kg/390PP

Really appreciate the help and advice. (y) I will get a pro in to give it a check over. TBH it might not be after fitting the fan but will be in the near future. Next room to be done will involve quite a bit of electrical work.

I got the same advice when working on my neighbours kitchen and he wanted an extra socket. He still has rewireable fuses. I followed the advice and did not fit an extra socket. I did move the cooker outlet (surface mounted no cable change). Even this I believe is classed as a 'change'? Is a...

Does this mean my 16A MCB is actually OK?

Reasonable natural light. Just makes sense to be able to isolate it separately for replacement/cleaning.

We have been here 20+ years. No idea when the CU went in. I must have done a basic check on what does what at some point. I add notes to the paper when I find things like sockets in the kitchen on different circuits. This MCB has tripped over the years when incandescent light bulbs have popped...

Piece of paper out of shot with circuit functions.

Don't think it is RCD protected?

Yes. House is extended sideways. The 16A is the old part of the house and outside lights. Newer 'wing' is on a 6A.
