Was just thinking about it being right next to the hob, but point taken

Nah, not for a strip of flexible edging. Way too ugly.

Any recommendations for heat-resistant adhesive? Most everything appears to be iron-on edging, but there's no room for an iron in there...

Good idea. I think that'll be the choice

MiL got inset hob replaced recently, but new hob is smaller than old, so fitters filled the gap at rear with a plain piece of wood. I'm now called upon to find something to cover it with. The worktop is years old, so unlikely to get anything to match. I need something thin, maybe no more than...

Boiler in garage, which is only 'room' on ground floor apart from entryway and stairs. Flow and return pipes disappear into brickwork next to boiler, with half a dozen rads at first floor, and five at second floor with two rad-style towel rails. No sign of a manifold anywhere. The radiator...

Time to try replacing the fan motor, or the brushes on the motor ???

eBay for a wall wart / mains adaptor that outputs 3v, and either Take the panel off, and solder/crimp/ other connector to the internal wiring or Cut pieces of dowel to the size of the batteries, and use these to squeeze the bare ends from the wall wart against the terminals as they are

What is "inferred" in this context?

If you don't actually WANT a smart meter, and the only reason you're getting one is because your supplier is pushing it, then don't.

Our house is built into the side of a hill, and at ground level to the front we have a downstairs hallway with front door, and access to the garage via an internal door. All other accommodation at one and two floors up. The original builders didn't fit a radiator down there, and for years we've...

There's life behind Bosch's Whatsapp customer support, once you get past the automated response and wait 2 hours for a reply; "Hi, we aim to respond to each message within 2 hours. Model HBS573BS0B is a 13 amp 2.99kw appliance. We can confirm that a B/S/H/ appliance under 3Kw can be fitted...

OH is just back with a photo of the info plate on the existing oven, a Creda 48149V - that plate says it's rated at 5.2kW at 240v, and 4.8kW at 230v, which seems like WAY too much for a single 13A plug and socket. Yikes. To add to the issue, I've yet to establish if there's any other sockets...

Reason for ... what?

If they get a dedicated cooker cable run from the consumer unit, and a 20 amp (?) double pole switch at the oven end of the cable, can the switch go in the adjacent kitchen cabinet, or does it have to be accessible above the worktop? In the cupboard would be much easier.
