Hi I have a first floor flat. I’ve got a CW pipe that runs from the bath feed, out the wall, and down 12ft to garden level, where it’s connected to a garden tap. I fitted a shut off valve and a drain valve inside the flat. My plan was to shut off the tap every winter to stop it freezing...

Hi It’s a Drayton Digistat, which can be connected with a battery or mains. Daljit

Hi Thanks for the responses. That makes sense. I’ve fitted a few of these over the years and each time I’ve had to remove a little wire/bridge on the boiler. So, I take it I should be using the terminals marked 24V? Daljit

Hi I have a Glowworm Energy(7) 30C and tried fitting a Drayton prog thermostat but it doesn’t seem to be doing anything! The boiler’s manual shows it’s pretty straightforward to connect a battery operated wired thermostat - just connect two wires to the eBus terminals. I’ve done this but the...

I’ll stick this on the front for the 30 mins to do job.

- No load on the supply - thick gloves - get a good grip - stand behind cupboard wall …and pull. Tape cardboard over exposed area before starting job. cheers

Hi all I appreciate the words of caution, I really do. I’ve seen these fuses in the stairwell of tenement flats, and aware electricians remove them to cut supply to specific flats. I imagined them to be similar to the old style fuses, which although exposed to hell, seemed pretty safe to work...

Hi is it easy to remove this 60/80A fuse to cut supply to the CU? Simple as cutting holding wire and pulling? cheers daljit

Cheers. Will go perfectly with door frame 47x95mm.

Hi Erecting a small internal wall (8ft x 5ft) with doorway and plan to use 15mm fire line on each side of studs. Door frame is to be 100mm to tie with existing. Was aiming to use C16 grade but not sure what size? Ideally, I’d have 47mmx68mm as that leave couple of mills for skimming either...

Just found out fan works when both door switches are activated. Anyway, will reassemble and see if it works even tho I’ve not done anything to it other than clean a little.

Hi Siemens KG30NVW25G fridge freezer is cooling the freezer, not the fridge, which sits above. I’ve removed inner rear panels and there doesn’t seem to be any obstruction to the shaft leading from the cooling pipes in the top part of the freezer to the fridge. It’s now been defrosted. When I...

Great, just what I thought. Thanks.

Hi I’ve read guidance about zones in bathroom. just want to check before proceeding. Am I allowed to use a standard light (ceiling rose, cable, bayonet fitting) in my bathroom if the bulb is at a height of 2.5m? Ceiling rose at 3m. The light would be positioned above one end of the bath. I...

Thanks for that link Ken. A quirked staff bead - who woulda thought! Ive not been able to open all the photos on that thread (on my phone) but it seems the OP opted to mould the corners out of plaster, rather than stick with wooden beads. Other posters suggested quirk created by channeling out...
