This would indeed be quite difficult. The CU is in the centre of the house and it will mean considerable upheaval to thread a cable through the house. On the subject of a separate Consumer Unit on the utility room, wouldn’t this be beneficial from an isolation point of view? It could have 3...

I didn’t…

Thanks for all the responses. Are you able to suggest a ball-park cost for this unit? I can remove/fit myself.

Thanks guys. I've read the above a few times but struggling to take it in. The stains within the glass unit were not there from the outset and have developed over the last 12 months. Window was fitted 5 years ago. I am comfortable to remove the beading and measure pane. The above suggests that...

Thanks. I've seen a few YouTube videos and will give it a go. Wish it was ground floor as opposed to the first floor. Will move my car, just in case! I was going to get the hinges from Screwfix, unless you advise a different type.

The water stains are within the panes of glass. Not on the outer or inner pane. Hope that makes sense. If this isn’t repairable, would measuring the thickness tell me whether it’s double or triple glazed?

This window has dry water marks within the glass. I assume it needs to be replaced and I think it’s triple glazed but was unsure. Can someone identify this from these images? Also, I was planning to remove the edging and measure the actual glass before I order. Is that the recommended approach?

Changed the AA batteries. Never knew it had any. All is working again. Thanks for the responses all.

I can get 410 from screwfix. Will they be okay?

Ah yes. I see what you mean. Is it normal for water to collect in this area of the window or does this indicate a fault? Where can I get a replacement hinge and are they a standard size? Thanks for your help.

What rating MCB at source would benefit from a CU?

For my understanding, if I was coming off a 16amp MCB, then I would benefit from an additional CU? Thanks for your help.

This happens every time I remove the battery. If I leave the battery in the radio and power down, it’s fine. Can you please advise.

Do you know why it’s rusted? The other side is completely dry.

I am happy to come out of the ring in the house into a FCU and then from here outdoors with a SWA (2.5 or 4mm?). I would then add a CU in the utility of it meant that any overload/fault will be handled here, rather than trip the circuit in the house.
