I have an inline extractor fan up there, which can be hijacked via some flexible ducting. Hopefully that will help. Although I'll play it safe and just work on one per day, let the fumes dissipate.

The joints of my roof membrane are sealed with Tyvek double sided acrylic tape. Anyone know how I can dissolve the glue on the tape so I can fit some felt lap vents? https://www.roofingsuperstore.co.uk/browse/ventilation/felt-lap-ventilators.html My neighbour is a smelly **** and my loft...

Before starting this thread, I did what I thought was the right research. Now, I think the whole "FCU" was just a distraction, and a better approach would have been to focus the search on "16A oven". That returned a heap of results referencing these '16A european ovens'. Some people are still...

I'm ok with the isolator, it's the bit about the fcu that I was drawing attention to. Sorry, should have deleted that bit from the quotes. The flex attached to the oven looks to be 1.5mm, forgot to mention that originally, just edited original post. Is there not a danger of this flex overheating...

Hello, The age old question of how to connect an electric oven arises again. So let me first begin with a picture, my current cooker circuit setup... (Sorry about orientation, I took the picture the right way up?) Starting at the consumer unit, I have a 32A breaker protecting a radial...

I bought it online from AO, instructions were predominantly German, but had English translations for the bulk of it. Put a plug on and all is well, but had to trim the cable ends down a bit.

Neff, so I'm guessing German. Thank you both!! I can sleep well tonight and eat well tomorrow :)

I know this has been covered many times, and I have had a read through the forums, but I'm just looking for confirmation that I have everything ready. Short story is, kitchen been wired by Part P electrician (a while ago), gas hob arrived yesterday, gas safe plumber arriving tomorrow. I need to...

Yes I'd heard that about the copper ones too.

Completely overlooked the risk of turbulence, good point! So it's either the smaller bore push fit flexi hose or bend it like Danny. Thanks both. d.

Anyone care to share their experiences of using flexible stainless steel hoses in pipe work? Better/worse/same as the copper ones? Are they considered full bore? Thanks d.

Resurrecting this post since the content is relevant. My question is, would it be ok to change the order, like this... 1. Fill dips in wall using tile adhesive. 2. Tank the wall. 3. Tile over wall. Or is it better to tank first then fill the dips? Many Thanks d.

Apparently so... http://farm5.staticflickr.com/4146/4846872495_f42caf9e40.jpg That's the worst case scenario and precisely what I'm planning for. River, I think the grease marks on the cables alone prove they don't like soap :)

Lol river! Should've have seen that one coming! :lol:

Starting to wonder if TTC is a mouse whisperer? If I rerouted the cables so that each one passed through it's own, barely big enough, hole in the joist, and then sealed off the older holes do you think they would still try to chew through the new routes? Would this realistically affect the...
