    • Plug socket off but appliances still running
    Electricians - 10 answers

    I just moved into a flat and noticed that 2 of the wall sockets remain live even when they are switched off. E.g TV is switched off but the light remains on. The two wall sockets in question are in different rooms, I haven't tested all the other sockets in the flat yet but wanted to know what could cause this?

    New extension concerns
    Builders - 10 answers

    Hi, I live in a semi-detached house. My new neighbour is building a single story extension to the front side and back and a planning application was approved for the extension. No application was made for the back toom extension as it is within 3m. They built the foundation exactly in line with boundary line that we agreed on. Foundation is about 50cm wide. Now, they have started building a wall and built it up to the DPC, back filled soil around the wall but dont think it was inspected since the foundation was dug. The new wall is built right on the edge of the foundation and exactly in line with the boundary line leaving no space whatsoever between the wall and boundary line. Is my new neighbour allowed to build the wall so close to the boundary line and on the edge of the foundation, and how will this impact the roof on the new extension as i have told them that roof should not overlap the boundary line into myside? Your advise would be appreciated. Kind regards Ref

    Freestanding oven does it need a cooker point?
    Electricians - 12 answers

    I bought a replacement oven recently after mine gave in. My last one was built into a special cooker point which has been disconnected and the new one came with just a regular plug. Should this be plugged into a separate socket like my old one of can i just use a regular 3 pin plug socket? I'm just wondering if there's any regulations i should be worried about. Thanks in advance.

    Moving Internal Walls
    Builders - 7 answers

    I wonder if you can help me. We're looking to buy a house, where I can see an improvement could be made, dividing a bedroom. but would need to create the access to the 2nd bedroom by recreating the landing. There seems to be the space to do this by moving walls of a 3rd bedroom. I'm just wondering how easy this all is. Looks like its move 4 internal walls, 3 new doorways, but are there watch outs in terms of lighting, carpets. If one wall is load bearing (not sure if it is) is that simple to get around or an issue etc, just really looking for advice on complexity and cost ? Thank you

    Chimney leaking
    Builders - 9 answers

    When it rains water drips down my chimney. I think there is a plastic cap on top that’s supposed to keep rain out as the chimney is not used. I thought rain was going sideways through the slats on the chimney pot but it happens when the rain is going straight down so I think it might need looking at but who do I call?
