It's a double oven going into a tall housing. Hob will be 300 mm away, and there's a 300mm base unit in between the oven housing and the unit the hob will be in. Hence I'm thinking the copper pipe might need positioning before units go into place.

Thanks. Would copper pipe need first-fixing before the units go in? I had assumed we'd just use the existing hose, and get a CORGI fitter to connect it up.

Sorry - my error. Should be Ok now.

Hi We are having to move the kitchen wall forward by 90mm to get rid of a dog-leg. We are doing this by attaching 75mm studs & noggins and 12mm plasterboard. The gas tap currently supplies a free-standing gas cooker. When the new kitchen goes in it will just supply a gas hob. Existing...

Hi. Wife keeps getting a small belt (one only) if she touches the pins of the plug on her hairdryer after using it. I've experienced it too; it's basically nothing painful - a bit like a spark you might get off a wooly jumper as you take it off. Apologies for being a bit thick, but...

Thanks for the responses guys. Spark came today and seems to concur with you all; complete new ring main in 2.5mm for all the sockets - cooker onto the existing 6mm cable salvaged from the little radial circuit. He wants to run the cables, but happy for me to chase all the plaster out and...

With apologies if these questions have been answered many times before! I'm planning to fit a new kitchen soon. I have an electrician coming next week, but I'd like to get some feedback if possible please before he turns up, so I know what to expect. The Kitchen is currently fed one...

Thanks for all the responses - very much appreciated. Just to give you an update....it seems to have spontaneously fixed itself! Woke up this morning to find all the rads working fine. They are still slightly warmer at top than bottom, so I think a full system flush might be a good idea...

Sorry? :?

Ok - thanks I'll try it. Sorry to sound thick; do I drain the system from the boiler itself? TIA

Thanks in advance guys! Also apologies if this fault has been covered before; I couln't find it. The Boiler is a Worcester 28CDi RSF Gas Combi approx 7 years old. Quick version:- Disconnected & reconnected downstairs radiator yesterday, re-pressured system, and CH seemed to work OK...
