Wow. Thank you so much for looking at this for me. The thermostats are not programmable - there is a separate programmer (ChannelPlus H37XL). I was expecting to simply change this for the 3 channel Wiser hub. I could, of course just join the live and switched live wires at the thermostats and...

Here is the wiring centre (and a photo of what is printed on the lid). Anyone know which will likely be the ones that go to the 2 room thermostats? It would seem to be 2 and 3 according to the diagram yet 3 has nothing going to it. Also 2 has a brown and grey going to it (like brown and grey at...

Found it in the airing cupboard. It is marked Danfoss - will open it up to take a look tomorrow. I take it I need to work out which is the live and switched live to the two thermostats and join them in the Danfoss box. Can I then safely remove the thermostats and 'bury' the cables in the wall...

That is what I thought you might say! I have seen people talk about a "wiring centre" where I guess the other end of the cable will be. For my system I do not know where this might be. All I think I have is the existing programmer (which is a ChannelPlus H37XL). Where will the other end of the...

I am going to replace my existing heating system controls with a wireless smart heating system (probably Drayton Wiser). In doing so I want to remove the two existing room thermostats I have (I have two zones for my central heating). They both have three wires (as well as the earth) black...

Thanks all for replies. Decided to call an electrician as I could not see how to remove the MCB without removing the cover and in case there were other faults. Changed MCB and now fixed for £45.

I have checked the ceiling rose and pendant - have even removed it. Looks fine. Have just checked the MCB switch again as suggested - pushing all the way down. The switch is "floppy" when I try pushing it back up - the others have some physical resistance before they "engage" in the on (up)...

Everyone, The lightbulb in the main light fitting in my living room exploded yesterday when I pressed the switch to turn it off before I went to bed. It tripped the MCB. The circuit has lights on it - in my living room, hall, kitchen and utility room. Now the MCB will not switch back on. I...

The gas pipe would go across the doorway to the kitchen. I can live without the heating for the first foot as you walk in the room - but if the first yard is cold...

You are right - chipboard... My plumber won't even contemplate having just waste pipe never mind no ducting!! Cites Corgi regulations...

I need to run a gas pipe under the floor of a new kitchen and also want electric underfloor heating. Does the undefloor heating need to be positioned away from the gas pipe and if so how far (the gas pipe will be in a duct)?

I am converting my garage to a dining room and would like/need to reroute the gas pipe from the gas meter (which is in the garage) underneath the floor of the garage/dining room. The floor is currently concrete but will be built up about 190mm with polystyrene/styrofoam (not concreting to save a...
