Hi I was wondering if anyone could help me with raising the central heating temperature above 55 degrees on the above boiler. Instructions read to go into the menu using the three bar icon and then use the up arrow to increase temperature. However I can’t set the temperature any higher than...

Hi Wessex101, yes the 4.5 m applies only to the rear elevation. The building inspector says that it is the bay window room that causes the issue. The new master bedroom has an escape window (the one between the stairs and en-suite) which has the sloping roof from the porch right below it . So...

Thanks for your reply. So are you saying there is no need for fire doors? Basically the bedroom with the bay window has more than one storey below it because the ground falls away. Is there a maximum height the escape window cill can be? My building inspector said the only alternative would be...

Thanks for your feedback guys. Could I narrow this down myself by switching off one by one each of the trip switches that fall under that RCD and see if the RCD trips when I switch the shower on? Or is it not that simple? Thanks!

Hi, I wonder if anyone could help me. We have recently done some renovations work and my electrician has installed a new consumer unit with RCDs etc. Separate to this is a small older unit which must have been installed when the previous owners had an electric shower installed - this is the only...

Thanks for your quick reply - I'll see if I can get the 101 locally and how much it costs. Do you know roughly how it compares to marine / exterior grade ply? And when you say 9mm from TP is this their standard ply or exterior? Thanks again!

Hi, I'm prepping for my new Karndean floor and in the past my fitter has used 6mm marine ply as a subfloor. But as my lounge is now about 4 times as big as the last project I'm wondering if I can use exterior grade ply instead? This seems a lot more affordable. The description says it is...
