I'm not hoping i now have someone who is going to fit it. I have however taken away the risk of someone obtaining a sub optimal fit product by just popping to screwfix and getting the next best thing. And why would you think that? does a proactive approach to procurement not sit well with...

Hello, thankyou so much for all of the replies, this has really helped understand what the requirements are and consider what i should buy. I've decided to purchase the item myself from TLC and will take the cost of the units out of the equation. i went for a flush 10way, with SPD, and have...

Hi, I have just got a flat and think i want to have the consumer unit replaced, purely owing that it appears quite dated. the wiring was installed in 1987 ish, everything works fine. Is it good practice to replace this unit below?, and if so I wanted some advice on what consumer unit type I...

hi thanks for the replies, hopefully the pictures help... it is the last picture that the pipe to the outside behind the tank absolutely pees out when boiler is on. i have noted that expasion pressure vessel and heat exchanger test may be things to try before searching any more for leaks. i...

Hi, I am seeking help on what could be potential faults with my central heating/ hot water system. For over a month it has been losing full pressure after one use. i.e., re-pressurise to 1+ (1.5 bar when on), on long enough to get a tank of hot water and it loses all pressure in that duration...
