The one thing you need to check is the ESB (Electricity Supply Board) will connect the houses that you wire. They are very strict with the sparks when they are called out to new builds or rewires. Most sparks are RECI or ECSSA registered. Quote from...

Sorry I did not get back soon but I just sorted the door yesterday. Firstly I took off the handles by taking out 2 screws on the inside handle cover and both handles then slipped off easily. I then took out about 10 wood screws on the side of the door holding in the 3 point mechanism. I had...

Thanks yandownie I will do it monday morning and let you know how I got on.

Thanks HandyHands. The door mechanism works easier when open. Its still noisy though. But I have noticed that the top roller cam is loose where as the bottom one is solid. So there is a problem with the mechanism. I am prepared to take it apart to look into it further. All I was afraid of, was...

I have a Potterton Performa System. If the temp switch is at 50% and I switch the temp to 100% should the boiler fire up straight away? I have found that if I switch off the burner (after waiting 5mins) and back on with the temp switch at 100% the boiler fires up straight away. Have I a...

Thanks Taydo. But, I was wondering if the 2 showers were being used, allowing for enough hot water, would the pipe work need to be seperate. 99.9% of the time they will not be used together so I don't see any problems with the tee'sbefore the pump.

At the moment I have a mixer shower in the en suite. I am planning to add a pump to increase the water pressure. I am also planning to add a shower to the bathroom. I have contemplated an electric shower but they do not supply the water pressure of a power shower. My question is; To install...
