Thank you Woody Had a visit from a PWA surveyor today. Confirmed Section 6 of PWA applies. No damage from original excavation yet but I have structural garden wall to protect also and my exposed foundation protected. They will get a report tomorrow. I may sleep better tonight.

Hi all, My neighbour is building a single story extension full length of house stops 4 inches from my extension built in 1984 which is on boundary, regrettable but done. Neither of us can maintain property cannot even get in to clean out debris. My foundations are exposed because they are...

Hi all. I have a 10m X 2m beech hedge, any idea how much for removal. I like the hedge along with the birds, unfortunately neighbours don't. It was planted in the 60s I inherited it in 1978. It was planted on boundary. Their side is awful because of subtle attempts to kill it off. Now they are...

Thanks ban-all-sheds, I did explain fully that the CU had only had the MCB lights changed to RCB's and they said twice MWC only, my Electrician has confirmed and the paperwork is on it's way. :) Thanks

Thank you. No I asked for the upgrade, he just replaced the upstairs and downstairs lights with RCD's other than that the consumer unit wasn't touched. He readily agreed though. No I know he is registered with NICEIC I checked before calling him. NICEIC say the upgrade requires a minor work...

Yep, just found two threads one on here and one on UK Whitegoods, exactly same problem as mine, Jug Impellor at fault. Next time I post my dishwasher will be fixed or scrapped!!!!!! Thank you all.

No he said pressure switch, I did a search and found one for my model on ebay for £23.

Appliance Engineer #2 checked things over and is pretty sure it is a faulty pressure switch, not aqua stop. £10 call out refundable off final bill. Going to call me when he has sorted part.
