This started happening to our shower last year, gradually getting worse. I thought it was going to be a new shower job, but I took the shower head off and found that it was full of crap that had built up over a period of time and was restricting the flow. Giving the head a good flush through...

Good grief, my apologies for the can of worms that I appear to have opened! For what it's worth, the new switch is in place, working fine and dandy and now I can get on with the rest of the room! I would, however, be interested to know if I have any further obligations to ensure that the...

Thanks for the replies, I'll just put in a new run of cable to the rose while the insulation is out of the way. Merry Xmas :-D

Morning all, Straight to the question - in a one-way switch, does it matter if the permanent live and switched live connections are not the right way round? I'm shifting a light switch before redecorating a bedroom. I've dropped new cable for the new switch location. To save time I could...

I thought perhaps the capping would help if I ever needed to replace/remove cabling after the chase has been filled - it has enough space for the cable to slide freely up and down inside the capping. Anyway, I've already done one chase wide enough for the capping so I suppose I might as well...

While I'm here... how do I affix the capping to the wall, bearing in mind that I'll be going into breeze block? Ta, Chris.

Morning all, I'm putting some lights on the wall in our bedroom. I have cut the cable chases and got some suitable capping. The cable chases are quite shallow in places (about 12mm perhaps), so there would only be about 2-3mm on top of the highest point of the capping when I'm ready to finish...

I was hoping that there would be a sufficient gap to feed the cables down, but I can't see one. I'll have another look when I do the cutouts for the back boxes though. The wall is going to be repainted (and coved) so it's no big deal if I do have to cut the plaster and make good again, just a...

Never mind, found this thread (not sure how I missed it during my searching of this site, but there you go...) //www.diynot.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=58812 So it seems that the only thing I'll need to attack the brickwork for is installing the pattress boxes. Stanley knife at the...

Evening all, I want to put some wall-mounted lights into our bedroom on either side of the bed, with a dimmer switch below. One-way switched to keep it simple. It's a semi-detached house, and the wall in question is the adjoining wall with next door. Looks like it's plasterboard mounted...
