    Removal of potential asbestos fuse board - who and estimated cost?

    I think I posted answers to your queries just as you posted! I think I have clearly got my wires crossed (giggity).

    Removal of potential asbestos fuse board - who and estimated cost?

    Ok, so I may have messed up in what I heard when they explained things to me. The white boxes and wires are new. The big green metal thing at the bottom is what they have an issue with as they think it’s asbestos. What is the big metal thing called?

    I guess I need to be in touch with N-Power then to ask for an asbestos survey?

    Removal of potential asbestos fuse board - who and estimated cost?

    The only information AES Charge sent to OhMe was that the installers were concerned the board may contain asbestos. There was no mention or discussion with me or with OhMe with increasing the ampage or fuses. The below is the email OhMe sent when I kicked off: ‘As discussed, please accept our...

    It’s the ‘meter board’ N-Power call it (brown panel).

    Removal of potential asbestos fuse board - who and estimated cost?

    [EDIT 2056] Sorry, I think I’ve got my wires crossed and OhMe haven’t been very helpful in detailing what I need to do/say to N-Power except for ‘not our problem’. It is indeed the big, green, metal box at the bottom that is the problem. Good evening, Today, I had someone out to install the...

    Bayonet bulb base stuck in light fixture

    So I was changing a lightbulb with a wide bayonet base to it. The actual glass bulb itself has come away completely, but the bayonet base and contact wires are still stuck in the light. How do I remove this?

    Replacing two-way switch with dimmer.

    Success!! I’ve changed a plug socket tonight, which was an absolute nightmare. How do you all line up the screws well enough? My lighting has had some success too. I managed to install the dimmer, it now works. I am able to turn the light off from my bed! The two-way switch is working! There...

    Replacing two-way switch with dimmer.

    Well, it hasn't been needlessly complicated. If I am having a bad morning and I'm unable to get out of bed and to the door to turn the light on, I need something with me on the other side of the room. I also never said I wanted to be able to dim the lights from the pull switch - just to maintain...

    Replacing two-way switch with dimmer.

    Right, ok. Thank you. I did ask in Homebase, but like me they said to ask on a forum such as this. The ceiling pull cord is definitely just a light.
