I need to replace a faulty brass screw down stopcock as the internals are goosed because of over tightening it is in a difficult location low down at floor level behind kitchen units it would be much easier for me if i could replace it with a pegular 1/4 turn ball valve or a sure stop type valve...

What is the score with the bathroom catalogues when you choose a bathroom fitter he gives you a catalogue to choose the items you want for your bathroom refurb but I have seen a few identical catalogues inside with just a different company name on front and everything inside the same.

There is only RCD protection on the sockets ring main not the cooker radial

Should i fit 20A RC type MCB or just an ordinary type MCB at CU not sure if there is some regulation about sockets having to use RC breakers now

As I said manufacturer recommended minimum 15A fuse there is no cable or 13A plug fitted. A new gas hob will be fitted, previously it was an electric cooker with hot plates. It is designed. It is designed for Europe and UK
