Thats my plan exactly :) :)

I'm planning to install some 3 core 6mm/sq armoured cable ready for the electrician who will wire up my EV charging point. I need to run it along the side of my house, along the inside of my fence and accross the front of my garage. Based on BS7671 AMD 3, what are the main points I need to be...

It is a deal with Hyundai, free charge point. 32a as well :)

While he has the power off, only take him a couple of mins to install the cables, while he is at it :) I will provide drinks and biscuits :) :) PCP I think, so you can just give it back.

Having tried a Leaf, BMW i3 & Toyota C-HR Hybrid, I went for a Hyundai Ioniq EV. For the mileage I do, it seems like it should fulill my needs and both save me some money on fuel as well as do my bit for the environment. There are some amazing deals around for 30Kw Leaf's at the moment, from...

Thanks both, I already have a DP 100a isolator after the meter, kindly installed by the DNO when they borrowed power to feed next door, during a cable issue. So isolating the henley blocks is not an issue. I also have already purchased spare tails, 25mm, can't cut them to length until the DP...

I will be getting a new car soon, its going to be an Electric Vehicle. I can get a free PODPoint installed, this requires a 32a supply. My house is on a modern estate (12 years old), with the garage adjoining a couple of others in a shared car park (for 4 cars) at the end of my garden. The...

Hi all We have an outside wall that we built 3 years ago. It's 6" concrete block and rendered by a professional. We painted it with a latex paint suitable for outside. The side walls are fine, which have soil and plants behind them. The rear wall is partly soil and partly hollow. Each year we...

Ok, it seems to be the Honeywell 272848 unit that's faulty. It seemed to be stuck open/on. Upon removing the metal cover I moved the internal switch arm off the micro switch and everything went back off. This is the one that controls hot water, central heating continues to work normaly using...

Thanks guys There are two valves in the airing cupboard, how to identify which is which? Is it possible to swap the switch only or does it have to be the whole head or unit? Both are inline with only one in and out, not three way. One is Honeywell and one Drayton.

Morning All We have a Ideal HE15 boiler that's around 10 years old. Recently I have noticed that the pump in the airing cupboard seems to be running continuously. Looking at the boiler it has 'c' on the display which means 'boiler is active for central heating'. Currently the wall timer...

I'm currently planning a narrow gutter for a M (double hip) shaped roof over my decking. I will need to install gutter in a W configuration where the gutter from the end runs across the front and down the other side. The gutter from the middle of the M then joins the gutter running across the...

I will look into a photo. There are fences both sides, approx. 6ft. There will be a clear 2ft min gap between top of fence and bottom of lean-to. The lean-to will not be right up against the fences, there will be a gap of > 6" at least.

Why would you view this as a car-port? It's open on 3 sides.

It's a ideal icos he15 model.
