    Hi all, It just popped into my head about bathroom pull cord switches, do they ever have flush mounting boxes, every one I have seen has been surface mounted, and also, why are shower pull cords cut shorter, which I see in most places?

    Surface mounted wiring into recessed box for boiler?

    We are now 18 weeks into a six week project. There are so many things that just seem a bit botched. I'd be grateful for any advice - is this usual, legal, acceptable? 1. The electrician suggested a grid pattern for down lighters but now that the plastering is done the lights are very off...

    Hello all, new member here....I hope you don't mind the post in your patch...

    I'm looking for a PIR sensor that will replace a standard light switch but the ones I can find are £40+, which seems a little silly considering you can get a standalone wall mounted PIR for about a tenner. Any recommendations anyone?

    Shower Cable Surface Mounted

    I was at my folks house yesterday and when I went to the toilet I noticed whoever has installed the electric shower (it's been there a good 10 years) fed the cable down the wall in trunking. The shower is slightly offset to the bath so I guess it would sit on the outside of the shower curtain...

    Surface mounted plastic patresses

    I dont do much house bashing and hate the surface mounted plastic pattresses. They are brittle and smash if put on an uneven wall,breaking the tabs for cable entry can even smash the box too. Then a good woman with a hoover or similar appliance can pull a double pattress off the wall:bow...
