Thanks to you both for your helpful advice; I hope to take a look at the Tritons at the weekend :)

Hello I've got a new house to modernise and fit out - for fun rather than for work - so, after not having used a router for quite a few years, am now planning to buy one. The main tasks are likely to be building kitchen units & other fitted furniture, installing worktops, hanging doors &...

I planning to order some of these radiator valve extensions. If you've used one before, what size hex key do they take? I'd like to order that online too but ToolStation didn't have the information when I called them...

It has never been a requirement - however you may need to in order to meet the U-value requirements in the Building Regulations. Talk to your building control department.

Certainly a very good idea to fit the fan - leaving the window open really isn't good enough, especially in winter. 1. Fan in ceiling - a good idea, but it must be vented through the tiles or under the eaves NOT into the loft space! Kits to do this are in the DIY stores. 2. The above...

Size 2 is fine; all 3 go in are held in the metal clamp - the black sleeve is open 1 end only (and about 45mm long). I did consider filling it with epoxy, but there is really no need - within the confines of a patress box there is no chance of the sleeve getting loose. Incidentally, it was a...

It's taken 6 months, but my orginal problem is now solved in a way that I'd be happy to repeat again. The solution was to connect each core of the wire-in and wire-out to a Pratley End Connector together with a third single core cable which connects to the back of the outlet plate. All can be...

Thanks for comments. I guess I could run a second cable from the switch, but suspect I may have the same problem fiding a cooker switch that accepts 3 x 10mm cables too. Reason for running the lot in 10mm, incidentally, is that the regs require it as per FWL_Engineer's reply, unless the...

Taking advantage of the IEE reg that allows two appliances to be wired to a single cooker switch (both within 2m of the switch), I now have my 10mm cable neatly buried beneath the plaster... =======|Switch|======|outlet|=====|outlet| ...but now can't locate a cooker outlet plate with large...
