Firstly apologies as I had origninally posted this in the building section but think it would be better suited in here: We had a conservatory built by a reputable local company about 18 months ago. They handled the entire construction, base, walls, windows and the roof etc - the ground works...

Hello, I am after some advice, hopefully you'll be able to help? We had a conservatory built by a reputable local company about 18 months ago. They handled the entire construction, base, walls, windows and the roof etc - the ground works included removal of the existing patio. We have...

There are no dead legs on the "circuit" that supplies the shower. There is one cold feed dead leg that used to supply the old electric shower but this has water going right to the cap (an inline valve). Any further tests I can do or look for?

Dead legs?? How do I clear the air?

Hello I'm after some advice. We have a non pressurised heating system for our hot water (and central heating). A gas bolier but not combination so the hot water is stroed in a tank. A few months ago we had a new shower installed that feeds from the hot water tank but is pumped via a 3 bar...

Here are the pics of the meter and the only earth bonding that I could find, which was connected to the gas pipe. The water supply comes into the house via a plastic pipe to a metal stopcock. http://www.albionimages.co.uk/test/meter.jpg http://www.albionimages.co.uk/test/meter1.jpg...

Will post a pic tonight, we didn't choose him he was contracted by the builders of our conservatory

My wife has been told by an electrician who was at our our house to install some sockets in our newly built conservatory that there is no earth bonding to our water pipe and that he could not find any other earthing for our system!! I am not sure if it was that he couldn't find it or if we...

Thanks for that found it fine. Easy when you know what you're looking for!!

Hello having moved house earlier this year I have noticed a problem. I have a small radiator in the third bedroom that has no bleed valve (the radiator is newer than all the rest in the house and has obviously been replaced at some point). The problem that I now have is that having drained the...
