10mm from the CU on a dedicated 32amp circuit. (With isolating switch on the wall beside oven) Oven is 2.2kw Hob I haven’t got yet but any I’ve been looking at are around the 3kw mark.

Hi, I was looking into getting an induction hob to replace the current ceramic one that is very cheap and doesn’t heat well. I pulled out the oven to see what kind of setup was going on with the wiring and found that the oven is wired into the back of the hob (pic attached). I’ve swapped out an...

I haven’t been able to get a picture of the bell box but from googling it looks to be an Odyssey 3E or similar. I bought a new battery for the panel and connected it today. So far everything has been working as normal. Tested the strobe and sounder work by going through engineer mode. I still...

So I did a bit more investigating last night and I’ve determined that the setup for the washing machine is fine. It’s wired into the FCU and I can switch it off at the wall when I’m done. I had a look behind the socket next to this FCU and found the extension lead for the tumble dryer (pic...

It’s essentially two 1-gang extension leads coming out of the wall. One wired into the FCU and one seemingly wired straight into the ring. They’re both underneath a cupboard which I have to remove part of to access. If I had to unplug in an emergency I could. I understand the dryer cable will...

I recently moved into a 6 year old house. In the utility room are spaces for washing machine and tumble dryer. Above the washer is a FCU and directly below this are two trailing sockets coming out of the wall (one slightly longer than the other to reach over to the space for the dryer)...

Yes I was thinking that too, but the house was previously let to tenants so I did wonder if they’d just powered it down so there’s one less thing for the landlord to maintain. If it’s just the panel battery that needs replacing then that’s fine. However if the bell box is dodgy I’ll have to get...

Hi, recently moved into a house with a Veritas R8 alarm installed. Fairly basic system with 2 PIRs, RKP by the front door (the LED one with no screen) and bell box on the front of the house. I was looking to get the original installer in to set it up again as the battery had been removed and...

Thanks everyone for your help. I think I'm going to take the radiator off and give it a rinse out to see if anything comes out. The boiler is a wood pellet boiler and I'm just wondering how to refill the radiator once I've put it back. I believe that with a gravity system the F/E tank should...

Checked the lockshield and opened it up as far as it will allow and still nothing. Boiler is firing out 75 degree heat to the radiators and the rest heat up so quickly but this one is completely dead. The inflow pipe is roasting hot though and the outflow is a little bit warm but only at the...

I've got the heating on and all the other radiators turned off. Doesn't seem to be heating up at all.
