I would like to add an outside mains socket but I came across this statement on the B&Q website... Modern timber-framed buildings You can't bore a hole for a cable through the external wall of a modern timber-framed building. This is because the interior cavity is filled with insulation...

Noted ruston, cheers mate

It was added as electric when the en-suite was formed to avoid draining off the system etc. We then found we never used it, being cost conscious of the electric used. The system now has to be drained off to extend to include a recent extension. So I thought it prudent to do it at the same...

 Thanks for that. Yes it's dual standard. I removed the valves initially and added the heating element and plug. Cheers mate . . 

When I first installed our bedroom en-suite a Towel Rail Radiator was fitted with with an electric heating element and connected via a fused switch.  I now wish to add this Towel rail to the house central heating system.  Having removed the electric element from the Towel Rail and...

A Yorkshire chap was walking down the promenade with a Cabbage on a lead. . . . . Another guy stops him and asks "why have you got a Cabbage on a lead?" Yorkshire guy answers " It's not a Cabbage it's a Collie " . . 

Ten LED Lights were fitted approx two years ago and controlled by one Dimmer Switch. All was fine until a month or so ago when it became apparent that the lights were not 'dimming'  as much as we had previously experienced. It is now approx 50% of what we had previously. Any ideas/solutions...

You are correct! What I thought I saw as screws proved not to be. Two plastic brackets were screwed down to the floor boards and an indent either side in the inside face of the pan clipped down over the brackets! I had managed to isolate the water feed and drain off the water in the pan and...

When I get my head down and shine the Pen-light at the hole in the pottery, you can see what appears to be the head of a pozi screw in each hole! These screw heads are visible just inside the thickness of the pot! Also I'm posative that the pan connector is not what's holding it as I know that...

Will have another crack at it in the morning. Photos below ....

Andy, I do think you may be right. I vaguely remember fixing some sort of bracket to the floor! So am I right in thinking that both screws should undo and release the pan?

You may be right, I was just trying to screw it out but had no joy either side. Although the pan has moved about 2cm from the wall at one side. How do you attach a photo on here?

It is a fitting inside the pottery fixed down to the floor-boards and the screw head is accessed through a small hole in pottery at each side! Bear with me I will post a photo . . . 

Cheers Mate. The sub is floorboards! Do you think the screws would pull out without the pan breaking? Thanks . . . 

Thanks for that.   The toilet was only fitted temporally about a year ago pending choice of tile & Floor covering so I'm not convinced that rusting is the problem. Should the screws open fully (anti-clockwise) to release the pan, or is it just a partial turn that is required? Cheers

I need to remove then refit an existing close-coupled toilet to enable tiling and fitting of new floor covering which I would like to go under the pan. Removal of the Cistern fixings has not been a problem, as it is simply screwed into wall plugs. But I am having problems removing the pan...
