    What is the easiest way to move a light switch?

    I can't get access from above but I could go from below and lift the carpet there. Putting a carpet back as it was before though is definitely not within my remit haha

    What is the easiest way to move a light switch?

    I realise the age of this thread but I actually have a question in relation to this. I have a light switch on a wall behind a door which I would like to change to the opposite wall and side of the door. I'm happy to leave a blanking plate in place of the existing switch and use wagos. The...

    That's excellent. I didn't even know these existed!

    Skimming walls

    Most plasterers will not want to deal with the electrics. Assuming that you want this, probably £500-600

    Salts on the wall.

    You have penetrating damp of some description. No amount of stain blocker is going to solve your problem. You need to find out how the moisture is getting it and address the route cause. ''Outside has been rendered'' - It would be worth checking the integrity of the render.

    Public liability insurance for a one off small job

    Sorry to be a dimwit, but why would the old lime be hacked out? Assuming most of it will be in reasonable enough condition? Is lime mortar going back in or cement ?

    Solar Panels with Batterys

    Who knows if the OP is still around but that's a great answer Meldrews. I do wonder then why larger inverters aren't fitted as standard in most domestic PV installations as surely this is quite a common problem ? Is it to avoid batteries being fully discharged and thereby speeding up their...

    Do you think Labour will win the next election ?

    Good question ! I get into chats all the time about this. Thailand, Canada, South America, Australia, to name but a few. The grass is greener approach is sometimes flawed though and these countries have their problems too. I would never vote Tory or Labour and unless the two party revolving...

    Work boots - what are yours and why ?

    I would like recommendations on a good pair of boots. They don't need to be steel toe cap boots, but that would be a welcome bonus! They should look professional, and most importantly MUST be comfortable. Boots I can wear for 9-10 hours a day without making my feel scream with pain. The only...

    Plaster issue against double glazing.

    It should be ok. Out of interest, do you have solid external walls or is there a cavity ?

    Is building regulations approval needed for integrated garage ceiling insulation project ?

    Hi mate. That's all well and good but the paperwork needs to be right in case questions get asked if the property is sold at a later date

    Brick cleaning by laser

    I would think the cost of running the machine would be expensive as well. Many kW = ££ If your friend can recommend a good cement dissolver that can be used on stone (granite) I would be pleased to hear his suggestions.
