just a quick update (if any are still following this thread) no one wants to sell me anything for this job. Apparently, due to the exposed wire ends in concrete beams they are no good for damp environments. Biscuits? Rang loads of companies and they all said it would be a custom job...

Look what I have found on the clarkdrain.com website: BUILDING REGULATIONS PART H STATES: “No person shall enter a confined space to carry out work for any purpose unless it is not reasonably practicable to achieve that purpose without such entry.” This solution has been updated so that...

regulations are that you can extract 20 000 litres a day from a borehole without an extraction licence. I think this must be classed as a borehole. It is 8m to the bottom of the well. the water was 4.15m down from top when I started pumping last week (ie. middle of a dampish August)...

now that JohnD is making me feel like a slacker for using one of these new-fangled pump thingys..... yeah, I was thinking of a safety net, perhaps poly-propylene rope set direct into the underside of the concrete that can be eased aside if need be. nose-all - where can I find such a...

I am replacing the rising main. I've got the MDPE up the drive to the outside wall, but how do I get indoors? It is a solid floor. I was going to come up the outside and then go in at floor level but someone said that I will disrupt the DPC and I will have a frozen pipe in winter. Do I...

I am doing a solar installation for someone who has a glass lined aga boiler heating the DHW directly. They have future plans to replace the aga with a wood fired boiler and want me to convert the aga to heat the water indirectly in the meantime (so the cylinder I install won't need to be...
