Neighbour is coming round today, he's already had a look and it is the element thats perished, just wanted to say thanks very much for all your advice, you've saved me a lot of money :D

hi and thanks again for all the advice, its nice to know i've got some background knowledge to quote when the neighbour comes round! Softus, the upper element/switch was left on 24/7 as recommended by the previous owners of the house. I take it now that when all is fixed, we leave the...
