Sorry, i thought i'd sayd in O.P he lives in Spain on contract with work and can't get home till after Christmas. I love him to be but he does some dodgy DIY lol which is why i wanted to run it past people on here

Tbh I think they're being over cautious or just petty for a lack of a better word and tbh I (and so does she) just want her back home. If that's what it takes rather than waiting for their official reply etc its a small price to pay. From all the research and questions i've asked on forums "it...

We did ask if there was any finacial help OR if their O.T (Mediquip) could help but sadly they said they couldn't with regards to fitting sockets. They did mention a charity but after they contacted them they said they only help over 50's and she's 39. I'm buying the stuff to do it today with...

Tbh, nor do I and nor could my uncle. When my father had a hospital bed he had the bed, the mattress, his laptop and his TV plugged into the one extension. The O.T which came out yesterday said it NEEDS to be plugged directly into the wall for safety otherwise they wouldn't class the room as...

i think this was my fault. I said we needed it urgently and explained why. I get the feeling that's why the price was so high. The lowest offer said he couldn't do it for another month. Yet they won't let her come home until there's a 'safe' room to return to. At the moment this room only has...

Sorry i didn't see your post. It will be earthed and our board is RCD protected. I'll be honest not sure what the 'bonding' is though?

Thank you for your reply and good to know all the info ive been given is correct. Honestly, ty.

The plugs will be used for a hospital bed, a hoist type thing which weve been told need to be plugged directly into a wall socket. I wanted an extra double incase anything else came up in the future with the same requirements. Other things like a TV, a laptop, an electric photo frame etcbut...

We were recently quoted by three electricians £370-£470 for doing this and sadly we don't have the money and it's somewhat urgent (see additional information). I have spoken to my uncle who used to do a lot of DIY when it comes to electrical work and while I trust him i just wanted to run it by...

excellent ty guys!! lol

Maybe a silly question but i'm a total novis at 'rendering' We moved into a house last year and it has a BT wire (now dead) going from the outside to the inside. It seems like the hole has a 'sealant' in with the wire. However, I wish to remove this and fill it in. The hole is about the size...

I've checked the main stopcock )(fully open) but haven't checked the small one on the showers water supply. I'll give it a few quarter turns. Its currently turned to 12-6 position with the pipe running vertically. ill give it a few turns I am comfortable with looking under the cover but not...

When I say "Scolding" i don't actually mean BOILING i just mean You can't keep your hand under it for more than say 2-5 seconds. I will admit am sensitive to heat (dreading the next few days due to the weather lol) but my wife isn't. She can literally get into an extremely hot bath thats been...

Sadly, No the shower head was attached still. 90% of it went into the jug as I was holding it close to the head. I Just went and checked and from the cold taps it's about 5-6 seconds. The shower was set to ECO mode (If i put it on full i wouldn't be able to even hold my hands under the shower...

Ty for the reply! we have quite a big shower head (hanging over head) so not sure how accurate this will be lol but ive just checked. On the temp knob turned up it takes 22 seconds to fill 1lt jug. When the temp knob is turned down to cold it takes 12ish seconds. Both are scolding hot. There...
