Some people fit a condensation trap that the built up moisture drops into and exits the building separately. Found this little video, interesting that the bloke fitted a 2nd fan: Inline Vent with Condensation Trap. Plus another one with insulated ducting

Is there any Isolation switch upstream? The Black or Grey should be the Neutral and switched live but impossible to be certain. One should have been sleeved blue and one sleeved with some brown to denote it's a switched live.

A good read. I'm happy to keep the 80A fuse we don't have excessive power consumption. Nothing to cause overload on a 60A let alone an 80A that's for sure

Fellow DIY NOT people We're thinking of going fully electric car wise sometime in the future, we currently have an 80A fuse on a PME supply. Today we had our faulty Smart meter replaced by Octopus Energy, the chap even fitted a Dual pole Isolator! He mentioned to my wife we should contact the...

I'm in agreement with EFL, there's plenty of cable length on appliances to pull out for maintenance. It's not often people need to do this, a simply single socket behind them is fine imho and less clutter above work surfaces/tops. anyway. Grid switches can be fiddly to install too.

At the top of the board is an SWA cable which looks like it could be moved over to a knockout further to the right. The Tails with the "service loop" could be re-installed to enter from the top of the board but may not reach the DB main switch so could need re-wiring with longer tails. If the...

Thought B-A-S was back for a split second!

We have two showers that work off the combi boiler but don't use them simultaneously. I've recently seen a free standing Haier Heat Pump that is quite low power https://www.linkedin.com/in/graham-hendra-a0b0426/recent-activity/all/ have no idea how effective it is but that could feed your new...

As long as the circuit has RCD protection then yes, if it doesn't you could get an RCD socket or even change the FCU to an RCD type to protect whatever's on the circuit. I don't like seeing the gardening tools so close to the unprotected cabling, could easily get damaged if not careful.
