Okay, I found the problem and nothing to do with boiler: Noticed on kitchen mixer tap there was a drip from tap, every 30min or so. After isolating both taps independently, discovered it was hot tap dripping. With hot tap isolated, turned cold tap on... no noise. Soon as isolation opened on...

Hi, I currently have issue that when cold water tap turned on in kitchen and Bathroom, the hot pipe from Combi Bolier (Worcester Greenstar 8000 Life) vibrates. This also happens when shower turned on or when toilet cistern fills. Call British Gas Homecare as Boiler is under warrenty (fitted...

persistence prevails :), found stock that can be ordered by the meter, company called Distrelec in Netherlands.

Okay being (what i thought) smart, decided to purchase CLIND2BK-C which is rated 6400w and suitable to hard wire into outlet. Just open the box to gloat over my new purchase and, would you believe it, cable is located on opposite side (right) to were i have outlet (left). this means cable is...

Hi Guys, thanks for all your responses. having read your comments, and the MI several times, i'm inclined to go FCU route. I think the MI is miss leading, mixing EU and UK instructions together which the manufacturers should sort out.

Cooker circuit is 10mm and 40 amp protected. okay, so i can provide second FCU from outlet, attached picture of current sockets. that's what i thought but, this hob regulates itself so consumption does not exceed 3000w draw...

Hi Guys, I have 2.9kw single oven on 13amp hard-wire, spurred from cooker outlet. I'm looking to purchase induction hob which also requires 13amp hard-wire...is this possible, how many 13amp hard-wire spurs can you take from cooker outlet (rhetorical). Am i restricted to selecting hob with...

hi, yes you are correct, there is a double socket on the wall and it is on the ring so, spur or extending ring is an option.

thanks for all the comment guys, certainly given me thought. I'm not keen on going diagonal either also, after measuring length of wire that would run diagonal, its not long enough. I think cable run will be kept the same, by this i mean in same configuration as plan provided. But i take your...

I was thinking of safety zone, which i believe mean you cannot install diagonal...or am i wrong? sorry, forgot to label, yellow box without description is junction box, were feed rises from floor.

no, as ELFImpudence say's cooker switch will move to left indicated by red box; 300mm from hob top on it's nearest side and 150mm from work surface from underside of switch. To better explain here is the design looking straight on. Included in this is a cooker hood and will depend on if wiring...

Ban-all-shed's got it nearly; there's a small mark on the wall were i temporarily marked unit locations and will be to right side of yellow line. currently at work but will upload the plans i created when home this evening. Again, ericmark you are really close regarding apprentice and central...

Hi all, I'm planning to refurbish my kitchen, fitting all units myself which is no problem. however, for the electrics i have two different electricians coming in a few days to provide quote. i will need the cooker switch and outlet moved to the areas indicated in red. Blue lines indicate...

Great, thanks PrenticeBoyofDerry. I was aware of safe zones but not of min wall thickness, makes sense really. You mention protection by 30mA RCD, you are referring to main fuse box as pictured:

Thanks for replying and for the information, certainly helps focus what to look for.

Hello all, Currently looking to start re-modeling my kitchen in the next few weeks and, will require moving cooker switch and outlet 500mm to left. whilst i can do the basics (swapping sockets, switches etc) this is one i will not attempt, preferring to live a little longer and enjoy kitchen...

hi john, Yes, glazed panel is fixed to wall with no movement, its just at this point were frame meets sill which is not fixed. Here is a picture showing the full panel:

Hi, can any one help with advise on the best way to anchor door post to concrete sill. At the moment it moves forward gradually every time door is closed and, i have to knock back inline with mallet on other side. As you can see, frame is currently out of line by half inch but lines up by the...

Thanks WoodYouLike, also just to satisfy curiosity, if bonding wood flooring do i realy have to leave a gap at the wall for exspansion as surly being bonded it should not move?

I want to lay BQ solid oak flooring, but instead of laying it as a laminate, i want to bond it like parke (think thats how you spell it?). Could any one tell me if this would be ok. :?: Cheers...Dom.
