Sounds reasonable.

I thought I'd seen threads implying multiple sockets on a 16A Radial were frowned on - not for safety but because the regs only list a 20A Radial as one of the standard circuits?

Sorry :) if I'd had a better idea about the innards of a combi boiler I'd probably have put 2+2 together more quickly myself. Anyway, problem solved. Thanks for the responses.

To complete this for future reference... Ended up getting someone to look at it, all inlet filters etc clear, nothing on outlet side that could cause a restriction leaving only the heat exchanger. When we pulled it out it was obviously badly full of limescale - you could put a finger in and...

Thanks for the answers. Will investigate the inlet.

I sort of thought an airlock was unlikely - have drained it down and refilled with no problems before. The cold water feed is joined to a manifold (one of 4 or 5) on the bottom of the Baxi. The Manifold sticks directly out from the rear wall (points toward me looking at it from the front) and...

Help! Saturday afternoon I turned off my mothers main stopcock, opened downstairs taps to drain hot & cold water. Replaced two taps in a downstairs loo (took half hour or so), stopcock back on, cold water returns with good pressure but hot water only ever a weak dribble - this is every hot tap...

Actually it's not a living area so all of those would be OK but the 600x600 ones are too big. I'm thinking of ones in this sort of style (apologies for the crap phone image) It's about 10-12" on a side

Simple one... When people post a question regarding the 120off GU50 lighting scheme they plan for their kitchen someone (often BAS) posts a link to a nice square HF fluorescent fixture perhaps 10" on a side that looks like it could be surface mounted or recessed. I think I'd like a...

From a layman's point of view I can't see that a ring was designed to do anything other than save cable. Any installation that allows 13A sockets that have _no_ restriction on them from a users point of view to be magically unsafe over 2kw is frankly, bizarre.

Thanks for the feedback - might order one to give it a try.

[/url] If you dont mind me asking how are those comparing with the 50W GU10s in terms of brightness, beam width etc? I've got a fitting I'd like to swap out for LEDs but 7w items (which appear to be roughly similar to 35w GU10s) probably wouldnt be bright enough.

It's a tricky one - technically we are linked anyway as over the years various bits of brickwork have gone up to put doors in etc - when I bought the house almost 20 years ago it was already 'attached' by various bits of tacked on brickwork. I never considered it an issue although now the...

Thanks for the replies. Not really sure about all of this at all! I dont think the houses would change classification and ownership is indeed an unknown, I guess I need a solicitor.
