Q & As
- I am fitting a ceiling rose but I have nothing to screw it into. The ceiling is plasterboard....
- We recently had to have our light fittings in the bathroom replaced. The ceiling is stained tongue and groove pine. Unfortunately the new fittings are a bit smaller than the previous ones and there is a small gap round the edge. The electrician is concerned that when I have to replace the bulb, the fitting may come loose. Can you suggest an alternative?...
- A ceiling rose was removed in our home and the wire was pushed up and plastered over. How do I find it?...
- I have removed a corded light fitting from my bathroom and have been left with a circular gap in the coving. How can I remove the damaged section safely?...
- I lifted insulation in the loft to install halogen lights in the kitchen ceiling. How close can I refit the insulation to the loft lights?...
