    Understanding Solar Panel Meter Readings

    That meter is your PV export meter and sits between your CU and inverter. The display will periodically swap between the import and export readings. The value at the lower left corner of the display (000 or 010) tells you which value is displayed at that moment. The import value displayed is the...

    Creating spring-loaded/spring-back blinds for conservatory Windows. Genius or potential disaster?

    I suspect that a spring-loaded roller blind will sag significantly, unless the spring is fairly strong. A strong spring may also be quite difficult to manoeuvre, when using a pole to place it. You could build a temporary frame to try one, set to the same angle. Guide wires will be around 0.6mm...

    Ducting - novice query

    It would be useful to measure the internal diameter of the two ducting parts. I suspect the white duct from the extractor is 100mm and the grey roof duct is 110mm. You could fit a 100mm straight round pipe connector or a short length of 100mm pipe between them, but may have to pad the 110mm duct...

    Shower Wall Panels - Before or after shower tray?

    I would suggest you check out shower trays with built-in tiling upstands. The shower tray is recessed into the walls, so that the inner face of the upstand is flush with the wall. The panels are then fitted with the bottom edge inside the upstands, to keep the water inside the shower tray. Use...

    Dishwasher Built-In Door Seal/Skirt name?

    This sounds like the upper seal strip and the side panel strips.The upper strip should prevent damage to the underside of the worktop when the door is opened and hot air/steam is released. Try Ransomspares or others.

    Sealing an outdoor socket

    IIRC the Masterseal boxes are intended to be wired through one of the conduit KOs and do not have any mehanism for wiring through the back. There is also a requirement to drill out the bleed hole to 5mm in some instances, depending on the conduit arrangement. Having said that, it seems an easy...

    Accenta G3 question

    Assuming you have the door sensor connected to Zone 1, then you need to set the zone to 'timed' and the entry and exit times to the required delay time.

    Kitchen extract through flat roof

    You could search for a flat roof extraction vent, which will probably take you to a supplier of Ubbink or Klober vents in a variety of pipe diameters. I have fitted a couple of 100mm Klober units in the past.

    Solar PV

    Just a couple of points: You have mixed up your use of the terms kW, kWh and kW/h, which does not bode well for the rest of your figures. I think you are going to be extremely disappointed when the generated power fails to meet your expectations, by a long way. Based on my knowledge of a 4kW...

    Ideas? How do I fit a curtain pole here?!

    You might be able to use an offset ratchet screwdriver to fit the brackets, but it will be really awkward

    Shower cubicle strip and rebuild

    A couple of thoughts, in addition to the advice from Terry: Find a shower tray with built-in tiling upstands. Consider using Multipanel, or equivalent, in place of tiles, and and fit it so that the bottom of the panel is inside the upstand to shed the water into the tray. Use good quality...
