Hi All, I am looking at a property right now and pre-empting some of the survey points. The pointing seems to be missing in small places and "interestingly" patched in other areas. Does this still look serviceable with a bit of gap filling, or not really and needs to be done. Equally this is...

Hi All, I am just looking at a new property and noticed the fuse box looked a bit old and surrounded by lots of older looking 'stuff'. How old do you think this consumer unit is and anything that worries you about it (apart from the wiring to my eye looking a bit unkept!)

What is also interesting, but perhaps in tolerance, you can see the different coloured tiles. I wondered why they were there. But seemingly they had some movement and maybe the tile cracked, so they found a replacement put those in and you can see the thicker grouting around those particular...

We are looking at a property and it had an extension 2 years ago (the now typical thing where the back is extended out to create a large kitchen/entertaining space with big sliding doors at the back. There was a big RSJ put across the original back wall to allow this (the extension is about...

Oh yes that's a good point, there is no existing thermostat

Brilliant, thank you

Hi, My parents have just bought a NEST (3rd gen) and want to replace their existing LP722. It is a Y plan system with a Drayton Mid Position motorised Valve. Can you advise the mapping of these from the LP722 configuration to the NEST connections. Thank you!

Brilliant, thank you, no other bridges or any thing like that?. Seems like I may have got this one right.

Hi, I have moved into a property that has a Hive System (just the basic one for a combi i.e central heating only and not water )installed and I want to switch it for my Nest 3rd Gen. Presumably N to N, L to L The earth seems to be hanging there, so I will need to check the other end of the...

Perfect, that was it. Much appreciated.

Aha, lets give that a go. Thank you !

Do I need to bridge 1 and 2?

Hi All, I finally got around to installing my Nest 3rd Gen, replacing a wireless digistat RF1. I also seem to have a double set of live/neutral wires and 3 for earth, I copied this exactly from the old system/wiring matching the numbers. There was that loose blue wire before unless it came up...

Hi, I am considering a new Nest thermostat to replace my old Drayton RF1 to go with my Worcester 25i (this currently runs a really basic dip switch wheel timer). Will I be able to just put the Nest in place of the RF1? or is it more involved because of the manual timer on the boiler? If so...

It is a company that is PCA accredited along with a load of whole other qualifications, but yes they do also sell the service and hence my hesitancy to accept the survey on face value :wink: Along with the near 10k quote for a small 2 bed flat. (However this includes putting it back to how it...

I am currently looking at buying a basement flat (Victorian building) and have had a damp survey carried out. The survey suggests that horizontal/vertical DPC and tanking is required thoughout the majority of the property. I basically want to check if they have over quoted me! I have been...

:lol: :oops: blonde question....the terminals are metal, but I was wondering about the bit of metal that protrudes. (ie the ends of the link are stuck into the live connections, but the bit that protrudes (and links) is metal and may heat the insulated cable if in near proximity? The cable we...

Thank you, thats fantastic. I have just put the metal link in between the two live connections and it's all working now. One question remains however, the metal link is just that...and not insulated. Is it OK to leave this as is? will it not generate a lot of heat and melt the cable...

We have just bought an Electrolux EHD60020P 4 Zone Induction Hob. The manual recommends the use of a HO5BB-F cable which appears to be a Flexible Cable with Elastomer Rubber Sheath 90° C , 300/500 Volt. I have connected the Hob to the existing cable and the unit powers up, but only the...
