Andy Thank you for the recommendation. It is some site with plenty of options, especially the 1600 size. Regards Cono Denso 13 I see on the above site given me by Andy that they do a 1600 bath which is not too far from my existing space, so that is an option for me to consider...

I wish to replace my existing cast iron bath. It is 1700 x 700 wide, is scribed into the wall as actual measurement is 1640 x 700. I can get it out by breaking it up. As my bathroom is fully tiled my problem is how do I fit a new bath in, once existing bath is removed as I do not wish to take...

Hi Echoes Hi Hertsdrainage2010 My thanks to each of you for your advice. What I have done is turn the pump off take shower heads off, run both the hot and cold supply for 3 minutes in each and this has resolved the problem (guess it got rid of the air). However, I realise that it will be...

Hi Echoes It has an Essex flange. Will do as you say. Thank you very much for your assistance. Regards Cono

Hi Echoes Many thanks for your quick reply. I thought it might be air and I removed the shower head and ran the hot water for a couple of minutes but this did not remove the air. I did have the same thing happen approx 2 years ago soon after having my boiler replaced. My pump packed up soon...

Hi I Have a stuart turner shower pump and it has started to momentarily switch on when a hot tap is turned off either in bathroom or downstairs in kitchen. If the tap in the case of a basin mixer is put in the cold water position first before turning off it does not switch on, if the hot tap is...

Hi Sorry for my late response but waiting to see what Stuart Turner had to say. Their response is: Problem caused by air trapped between the pump and what it pumps too. Well the pump only feeds directly to two showers. Also said it may well be a direct result of the boiler being changed but...

Hi Many thanks to everyone for their advice. The boiler is a GlowWorm 30 Hxi, it is an open vent, it is not a combi. I will go on to the Stuart Turner site and see what they say. Regards Cono

Hi Nige Thank you for the prompt reply. What I did not say originally is that it does not do it every time the basin tap is switched on, it is intermittant. Is there a way that I can confirm it is the switch, other than by replacing it? Are you able to advise me where the location of the...

Hi I wonder if anyone has any suggestions as to why my shower pump has just started switching on when the hand basin hot water tap is turned on. The pump is a Stuart Turner Monsoon. I guess it has been in about 20 years or so without a problem until now. I had a new boiler installed in...

Hi Many thanks everyone for advice. Decided to call in a sparks to fit the cooker. Cheers Cono

Hi Johnmelad502 Thank you for replying so quickly. I have looked much closer. The first live terminal has 3 pink wires going to it connected by bayonet connecters (one either side and one at the back-in a U configuration, below this in each case is a large pozi drive type screw where I...

Hi I am looking for advice on connection of cable. Oven make is Electrolux Model is EOD67043 The terminals at the back of the oven are L L N N N PE. The diagram indicates the live wire going into the first and 2nd terminals and the neutral going into first 2nd and 3rd terminals. Would...

Hi Dextrous Many thanks for the advice. Hope you don't mind if I ask some supplementary questions. The pipework as already mentioned is matt silver and has a rough mottled surface. Would this affect the joins/seals if I use compression or pushfit coppper? The combination valve has a facility...

Hi Fizz1 The kitchen is at the front of the house (terraced), the bathroom upstairs next to the airing cupboard, position of pipework would make it difficult to take a supply from there. I have no intention of touching the gas supply as am aware of the danger. I have a schematic of the boiler...

Hi I wish to install an outside tap in the back garden. The easiest method I think would be to take it from the mains cold water supply to the boiler which is in a airing cupboard upstairs, through the ceiling, across the loft and down the back of the house. What pipe in the loft would be...

Hi My daughter is purchasing a house. Its bathroom is in a sorry state. My intention is to replace. Budget is 400.00 pounds. I have looked at B & Q and Wickes, also the screwfix catalogue. The majority of baths appear to be made of acrylic with B & Q giving a choice of steel or acrylic at no...

Hi TTC Thanks for that link. I am interested in how and why it is necessary to adopt certain procedures for an installation. Although I'm getting a professional electrician to do the work (hopefully sometime in January) it is still educational to get other peoples views. Cheers Con

Hi Sam I think perhaps you have misunderstood my post. I am getting in an electrician to do the installation who is qualified to test and issue certification to Part P, see previous page. The question that I was asking is whether you can take the building earth to the shed thus avoiding the...

Hi Crafty Yes. The rating states 60/80 A 415 volts. To the left of this is a safeclip with seal (appears to be 32A) with a cable going from this in to the top of the service head and a cable coming from the bottom of the safeclip to the time clock (this has a 24 timer) and a cable goes from...
