Ok thanks

Thanks, I do appreciated your reply. I was looking at the other posts on the same subject, most have a single cable entering the BDR91 from the boiler whereas I have two. I take it that this is just another way of wiring up to the boiler? I noticed too on my installation that both positives...

Hi, My boiler is the Worcester Bosch Greenstar CDi 29 Classic which is installed in the loft. It has the Honeywell BDR91 Wireless Relay Box located between the boiler and the fused spur. The programmable wireless room thermostat, CENTER EHE0200361 RF is in the hallway. I want to replace this...

Thanks for your reply. I installed the felt in the usual way clout nails and adhesive on the joints

I recently purchased a roll of roof pro torch-on roofing felt underlay from Screwfix by mistake, I meant to buy roof pro torch-on roofing felt cap sheet, both the same price £66.99, just clicked on the wrong item. Anyway, I only realised the mistake after I came to installi and had cut the first...

I have a bath with a jet system fitted which is never used. Given that the bath is in as new condition was thinking of removing the motor and pipes rather than renewing the bath. The obvious snag of course is how to seal the holes. Is anyone aware of an available product such as white plastic...

Thanks kindly for the good info

Hi. I have 4mm SWA coming into my garage connected to a small plastic garage CU. The CU is located in a really awkward vulnerable position at a low level, the access cover of the CU has already been damaged. It's my intention to raise it to a higher safer position. I have purchased a...

Hi I have the yale mains powered external siren. The instructions state that there is no need to change batteries as it has a built-in battery, and with the 12v dc supply connected the battery is disabled and the on off switch has no function. Does this mean that there is an additional...

Thanks. Reassuring to know that. This property is 1970’s previously owned by a qualified electrician. In the time of my ownership have uncovered many bad electrical installations. In the kitchen, the oven and hob were wired to a suspended in ‘mid air’ junction, spurs on spurs with no fused...

Thanks for all your replies, it's appreciated. I fully understand your points, the fact that I would be creating unnecessary work etc, so decided to take your advice and just go with the radial option. The only reason that I was considering the other was to avoid having two mcb’s for the...

I'm adding two sockets to a bungalow bedroom, because of the way the ring is routed and the loft being boarded, could turn into a bigger job than it needs to be. As there is an existing redundant 2.5mm radial from the CU to a junction in the loft I intend using it. I don't really want two mcb's...

I have a question regarding a 13 amp fused spur of a radial circuit that is spured from the 32 amp mcb of the final ring circuit. Can the fused spur be located at an accessible point in the loft rather than the bedroom. Is this permissible or does it need to be accessible in the room?

Hi, My initial concern was the 1.5mm cable but now the cable size has been established (thanks) it seems that I should be OK. Looking at the highest load of 2000 watts of the router combined with the 1400 dust extractor and the lighting of 100 watts…3500 seems with your estimated margin. That...

20m is the total length, 8 of which is the 4mm SWA
