Hi i was hoping someone might be able to give me some objective advice. I would like to put vents in my soffits to increase ventilation in the roof space, however i've been told that the soffits are made out of asbestos. I have spoken to two builders, the first one said he wouldn't put the vents...

Hi i'm installing a fused spur switch for a ceiling fan and have bought a switch for the job. Unfortunately i've just read on the installation instructions it needs to be double poled. No where on the switch or the packaging does it say whether it is single or double pole? How do i know? Are all...

THe oven is a zanussi zuf270. Any help would be great

Thanks for your reply. The oven is zanussi and the hob is Samsung C61R2AEE and the oven is a zanussi built under double oven. I will need to check the model number when i get home.

Hi i'm currently fitting a electric ceramic hob over a built under double oven. Neither the hob or oven mention ventilation or anything in the installation material. Is there any problem with doing this, as the hob will be almost sitting directly on top of the oven. Would this be ok or would...

Hi just a quick thank you to everyone who has helped me already it has been much appreciated. Two last questions. i'm currently adding a spur to a socket in the house. Most of the cable will be run behind a cupboard. Is it safer to run a cable above the plaster on the wall or dig a channel into...

Thanks for that. i'll seek out the info

Hi this might sound like a stupid question but i currently have a Double Pole switched fused spur which has a 13amp fuse in it. If i wanted to change the appliance that it connected to to one that said it required a 3amp fuse would i just be able to change the fuse within the switch, or would...

Hi just a quick question. I recently had a 6mm cable cooker circuit wired into my fuse box. At the moment it has 32 amp fuse. If in the future i needed a greater load, for an induction hob for example, would i just be able to increase the fuse to a 40 amp fuse or is that too high a level for 6mm...

Hi thanks for that. Do you think i need to fit any additional bracekts to ceiling or anything or do you think i'm being way too cautious?

Hi i'm currently redoing my kitchen and have come across a little problem. One wall which i am hanging kitchen wall units on i have now discovered is a paramount wall. I think that's what it is called anyway, it's a thin internal wall with plasterboard both sides and a egg box honeycomb thing in...
