Hi, sorry for the delayed reply, ive been away. I notice on eBay i can pick up a ACO kit for £60-70. My worries lay with the flexibility of the drainage channel. The concrete slopes on either end, therefore the channel will need to have a slight flex in it to match the concrete edge. This could...

Hi all, I have a rear patio which is made up of concrete, it slopes towards the house and there is no drain. The water pools outside of the rear door. I have confirmed with the waterboard that we have 2x drains, 1x foul sewer and 1x surface water. The plan was cut out (using a grinder) a...

Plug Top...

Double socket with probably a dryer plugged into it. Un-switched spur to feed 2x lights, 60w bulb and 400w floodlight.

Thanks all, I could always fit a double socket, and use a plug top instead of a unfused spur. :) As time goes on, we are removing the bodges. It currently has a 2.5mm from inside the house, into a wooden porch. The porch has a double socket, which feeds the garage (via SWA) and a light switch...

Thanks for the reply. Do you know of any large terminal sockets? Id rather go with a deep back box, and some nice termials that trying to squeeze into something tight and shallow..

I was thinking of 4.00mm, however will face issued with 2x 2.5mm and 1x 4mm cables in the back of a socket. Any ideas? Could go with 2.5mm I guess, but its not best practice. The socket may have a dryer plugged into it. Un-Sw Spur will be used to reduce to 5A for an outside light, the socket...

That's the boiler, look outside at the same position, the vent will be there... you could even open a window and peer out..

Red 2.5 mm cable within the Consumer Unit which has earth tape on it, this needs to go into the 16A breaker. The cable is not long enough to terminate into the MCB. This is an old immersion heater cable, which is now a dedicated supply for the alarm. I will fit it we moved the order of the...

Been told some Duff Gen.... thanks.

We would run a 4.0mm radial off a ring, which explains the 32A, however new radials from the board would be on a 20A, rare to run though due to the cost. Appeared that 6.0mm was cheaper than 4.0mm..

Sadly there is a 4-way brown Wylex board with no RCD fitted. To have a new board (£300 fitted by Leckie), all circuits need a CPC

^I thought 20A radials were always in 4.0mm. As previous in the post, replacing 1.0mm Twin (without Earth) with 1.0mm Twin and Earth. Currently all fittings are plastic, therefore the only issue is with light switches screws, its been acceptable for the past 20 years... I could have just been...

Thanks all, thanks awarded.

17th Edition Lighting Reg's - Is it still okay to use 1.0mm? Local wholesaler had a shortage of 1.0mm compared to 1.5mm, offered 1.5mm for the price of 1.0mm. I remember 1.0mm was 6A MCB, 1.5mm was up to a 10A MCB (if required)/longer legs. The house I live in has a lighting circuit in some...

Hi Agile, I spotted MrCentralHeating has some TRV4 clones, they are liquid filled for about £9 just for the TRV, the lock-shield obviously is extra therefore closer to £12 for both. The labour to change over a rad, a 1840mm x 420mm to a 900mm x 600mm single is £50. We will supply the rad, its...

Nige, I do appreciate the replies and the help from the Forum, there comes a point when people just dont read what you put, despite the pictures. It clearly is a flow and return system, its 2-pipe. I have even had a plumber around, looked at the system, provided me with a quote and is...

House was built in 1975.

^ LoL. Read my posts, and not what you want to read.
