I will try to investigate that tomorrow but i don't know how far down i go or what I'm looking at frankly. Any advice?

I was thinking if i took up the tile could i actually screw down plywood and floor onto that? That has me thinking of two issues one with movement and the other with moisture so I'm assuming some DPM has to be laid in order to prevent damp? Not sure as you can tell already Thanks

No signs of damp anywhere and the inner room has recently been rewired and no signs of damp on the suspended floor as it is completely dry which i was pleased about! Would the cement have to come up or would i be able to re cement over this to bring level? The copper pipe is redundant and has...

Should be there now?

Embarking on a flooring project in hallway and living room currently. Lifted dirty old carpet in hallway to be greeted by this. Any idea the cost involved in getting it moved? I want to rip up the tile and have the floor screeded level so as to be able to lay a solid wood floor across the...

Hi there I had a carpenter install some custom units for me in our living room and i asked him to also install a new door lining. He ran out of time to do the door lining and since has been fobbing me off with excuses that he is too busy and will get back to me. Not happening i don't think...

Hello Im in the process of wiring my house for cat6 and whilst im at it running in some rg6 coax I plan to have virgin media move the incoming feed from the front of the house to the side where the cupboard is in order to station the TiVo box there. Would I be able to split the signal...

Cheers derry yes it is protected by a 30ma RCD. I would like to pull them out altogether as I have access to them now but I would need to remove more floorboards than I would want to so will ask the electrician what can be done with them and if I could use the wiring to add sockets. I...

Hello just after some advice regarding a socket near the CU in the hallway. Im going to be moving my network equipment into the under stairs cupboard where the CU is located. I want to add a double socket to power the equipment which will just be a modem and a network switch and perhaps a...

Hello I need some advice on the best way to board out the landing portion of the staircase. I have removed it due to putting my foot through the thing when installing cables and since it was loose anyway I removed the plaster. Here is a photo of what im against. Im hoping to frame it and drop...

Hi Im planning on building a summerhouse/playroom for the kids during this year. I'd like to run power up to it now though ready for when i book the design visit etc. What questions should i ask the electrician? I will do the labor of digging, how deep do i need to go? Will it be...

Forgive me but i cannot offer the same terminology as you guys. What i believe it to be is a ring main as it has two cables coming from the consumer unit into a JB then from there a cable runs to the first socket and not two as mentioned then onto the last socket in the room and back to the...

Apologies on the potty mouth i had been on the syrup but i stand by my principles that your advice is often tainted with self indulgence or pompous attitude generally that said i believe you have advice to offer albeit full of arrogance. So in summary what i have done is: Two cables from...

Ok so i corrected work that was shoddy left by a council tat electrician who couldn't give a flying **** about safety and left cables on top of pipes. So why test this circuit if all i have done is change the wiring like for like? Then i simply took a circuit from the MCB that was from an old...
