Thanks for the responce and helpful advice Is it possible to bolt smaller timbers together to reduce the overall height of the building and still keep the strength over a 4.5m span ? Also I have been researching the roof insulation and was going to follow someting I found on utube .... or I'm I...

During the recent snow I had a completely flat battery so I had a go at jump starting the car but although it was turning over I got nothing not even a splutter I have now noticed I have the green key light flashing on the dash so the ECU is not recognising the key same thing with the spare...

Hi all I hope in posting this in the right place I need some advice on sizing timber beams for a flat roof. I'm building a garden office that will be 8m x 4.5m it will have a flat roof so I'm looking for the correct timber size to span the 4.5m the beams will be at 400 centres. By what I can...

Was thinking If I could get this in the existing unit ? Alternatively fit a shower unit with rcd but not as easy as space is limited.

No the incoming main is underground. There is also another old unit for storage heating on a E7 meter. I know it all needs updating but just need a shower as a matter of urgency so just looking for the best way to add this until everything else gets done

It has one of these old rcd's before the consumer unit ? The 16a breaker on the left is not being used so intended to swap that for rcbo. I cant find a compact 40a I was just concerned about the space in the Unit to accommodate Wheres the best place to order one from as prices vary quitea bit

I need a 40a supply for a shower rather than fit a dedicated shower consumer unit is it posible to fit a rcbo to this existing unit ? If so will I have any problems with space and the extra length of a 40a rcbo ? Or is it better to fit a second dedicated unit for the shower ? Just a bit tight...

That all sounds perfect for me so happy days. Just to satisfy my curiosity do I not need a 16a breaker for the oven given it will now be fed from a 32a supply? Also the hob on full power will presumably draw 7400 watts around 30.83 amps will applying the diversity factor be adequate to allow for...

Ok great thank you So I still have the issue of a 16A oven to connect to the same 45 amp cooker point as the induction hob The instructions say must be hard wired to a16a supply

I'm currently fitting a new kitchen I have removed my old range cooker that was fed from a 10mm t+e cable 32a mcb to a 45amp isolater then 6mm t+e to the cooker. I'm now wanting to fit A induction hob 7400w (30.83amp) ? A single oven 3450w (14.375amp) ? My question is can I use the...
