Thanx Dextrous that is what ive done, basically linked the tank out i now have mains throughout.

Thanks for all suggestions really helped me loads. I have just found out when de-commissioning the electric shower that the cold water in the bathroom is still fed from the water tank in the attic ??? The new combi was fitted a few months ago . Will i need to pump the cold ? What if any...

Defo need the batten as the void is more than 65mm deep. This would eliminate the need for elbows.A little concerned about getting a good fixing for the batten,i will get a better idea tmrw when i cut out a bit of plasterboard and have a look what's there. Correct me if im wrong but do they not...

Its just a cheap shower http://www.screwfix.com/prods/47639/Bathrooms-Showers/Showers-Enclosures/Showers/Thermostatic-Mixer-Shower/Triton-Altair-Thermostatic-Mixer-Shower# Any feedback greatly appreciated. Could you recommend a mounting bracket ? Tmrw will just be getting the tails...

It is a dryline wall the the mixer is is some way up the wall and there's a bit of play in the cavity i was hoping to do it in one run eliminating elbows increasing flow and eliminating potential leaks.I realise there's not to much play in the hep that i have already bought and may need to put a...

Its a plasterboard wall so i cant chase it ! Its not a external wall i think? On the other side of the wall is my kids bedroom. There really is not any easier way of doing it, a false wall is never going to happen. So i cant run 2 lengths of hep20 down the back of the plasterboard ...

I am going to fit a new shower just looking for any easier ways or any help. I have gutted the bathroom took all the tiles of the wall(plasterboard walls). I have removed the bath too. I will be using push fit t-pieces and hep20 everything is in 15mm. I have marked where i need the...

Well all i have tested is continuity and resistance of each circuit everything is hunky Dorey. So there will be absolutely hundreds of thousands of houses without rcd protection in the uk. What do you mean the integrity of the circuits being supplied? Ive checked them they are all fine! Im...

If you had seen what was there before :lol: Anyway for the budget i had it does the job for now next year i will get a split rcd board. It doesn't have to be rcd anyway does it?

Fair play but all that is on the new board is 2x 30amp rings 2 x 6amp light rings 1 x combi boiler 6amp. all mcbs. It was a pretty straight forward swap. Cost me about £60 [/img]

Just with it being outside thought fp would be better than t&e

Ok it would be easy for me to go from appliance to appliance in 6mm not a problem i will have to make a calculation to see if i can do it in 4mm. Ok i would use 2.5mm from fcu to un-switched socket. Somebody told me they were phasing ring mains out and using radials (is this mince). .out of...

Hi there what it is is im am re-wiring my kitchen. I was wondering if it would be ok to just put a 6mm radial in for all my appliance's.....dishwasher/washing machine/fridge/freezer/double oven(fitted with a factory 13amp plug). Coming of the fcus with 4mm to un-switched sockets? I don't...
