Just after info re this issue. We are bringing out our front door and was wondering the best way to do it. Entrance is 2m across and 7 brick up and we will be having steps down. Had a quote from builder but it looks a straightforward job that wont be on show. The concrete base approx 6 inches and instead of digging out would building of a lintel be better. The door wont be supporting anything.

Ok. They said there is another light roiund the back of the house thats off the same switch now so it probably something gone wrong with that one. I will tell them to get someone in as it all looks a diy job.

They said previous light did work then it packed in.

Yes. Just brought the light to my house and wired it up inside and it works perfect. Checked the terminals and live light screwdriver. Neutral doesn't. At the other house both live and neutral lite screwdriver. Confused.

That the issue . its dead. Ive been told i could have a live and switched live to it instead of neutral and thats why it wont work. Makes no sense to me.

I can do but its just earth to earth . red to live and black to neutral. May be a dud light.

Nothing tripped. Im trying to find out if switched live to neutral on the light is a thing or not.

Its not working. Ive been told older lights can work with live. To live and switched live to neutral but new lights wont work this way and need a neutral. Is this rubbish?

Its just a choc block connector l n and earth

Just doing what i thought was a simple job for family member. Replaced a screwfix dunham light with pir with a new maine pir light. Connected it up the same . (black to neutral and red to live and the earth) didn't work. Being now told that the new light needs neutral, live and earth and it may have live and switched live as its off a switch. Could this be right?

Thats it. Yes.

Cant see anything

I just thought I would put this on here so if anyone want to respond to the survey. Martin Lewis is already involved here. https://www.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10161328595796540&id=540806539&_rdr

2nd post is most accurate.

Was that fitted

The council runs a scheme where they put everyones requirements to multiple companies. This was the cheapest.

When i take away the car usage we use around 60 to 70kw a week. Does this sound about right for 4bed family of 4 with Gas heating but electric oven/hob

Ok. We are getting a new dryer next week. I didn't realise it is used for about 12 to 15hrs a week.

Hi Would any of you have thoughts on me adding a battery to my system. We are on 2011 tariff with a 2.4kw system. It is currently earning around £1600 a year. We have an electric car which we charge overnight on octopus go @ 9p/kw. Average 60kw a week. We still end up with a bill of on average of £140 a month. Tumble dryer is the biggest user which we a swapping for a heat pump version. I have got a quote of £2995 to add a 5.2kw battery. Overall we roughly break even so its not too bad but can we do better. Would it be worth it and roughly what would be the payback. Any help appreciated.

Hi mate. It is vented to atmos via the stack on our other bathroom they both go to the same chamber.

I have had an above garage extension with bathroom. The architect planned it that a new manhole would be dug and we would tee into the main drain approx 15ft away which is shared with neighbours. Not sure where it is exactly and we know it is 5ft deep, I've looked into the possibility of running it directly below into the garage against the wall then horizontal across the wall for 3 feet, then knock a hole through the wall into the downstairs toilet. Run it down the wall in there next to the toilet and get the plumber to rejig the soil pipe in there. Any thought on which is best and cost for new drain outside. I guess the inside option will be 3 to£400 going off previous work. Also will the BI be ok with an internal drain do this way. I know it needs fireproofing. Thank in advance for any thought
