Just as a reminder, the house is a new build, built 2022. Would this have any bearing on the likely fuse size? Also, would it make sense/be safe for the CU Main Switch to be 100A if the main fuse is smaller than that? I'd have thought the biggest 'fuse' would be 'closest' to the incoming mains...

I can't find any reference to different tariffs based on who the installer is. As far as I'm aware the only EV tariffs they do are Go and Intelligent Go (Intelligent Drive Pack being currently unavailable for new customers), the difference being you can't be on intelligent go unless you have a...

Well this seems to have kicked off quite the discussion! The fuse in the meter box says '100A' on it. However having rethought this, it may be better all round to see if it's possible to split the supply at the meter box (Henley block?) to a separate small CU for the charger alone. Practically...

Thanks for the reply, I have a few further questions though so will ask them below... 1) You can't supply an EV from that consumer unit as it stands, as it does not have a dedicated RCD for the EV supply, and I would need to see if the RCD is bidirectional as well. The Easee one states that it...

Hi, My partner lives in a 3 year old new build. She is looking to get an EV charger installed. I have an Easee One that's been removed from another house and would like to use this. In the garage there is a square black wiring 'box' with a twin and earth cable that apparently goes back to the...

Thanks for all the replies! We've had the fitter out and they have said that they lined the carpet up with the edges but that the carpet is not 'square'. The picture I've posted below would tend to disagree with that. It's a picture from above (yes, that is a chopping board) showing the angle...

Hi, Recently had stair carpet replaced and the pile (?) of the new carpet doesn't line up with the front edges of the stairs, both in the straight and corner sections. Carpet fitter has said that this is due to the carpet being fitted straight at the edges of the stairs but that the carpet...

I guess you missed this bit... 'Please ignore the mass of cabling - it's the remnants of a decommissioned house alarm system'

Thanks, would you expect this to be covered by the warranty on the tank? Pretty sure it was at least 10 years. I mentioned the cold as it seems rather a coincidence to me that it would happen the night I get back. Should I be concerned about the tundish not coping with the flow of water when...

Hi, Bit of background. I have a 180L Stelrad unvented cylinder, professionally installed 6 years ago into a 30 year old house which previosuly had a vented CH & HW system, and had no problems with it until now. Went away for a couple of weeks and returned yesterday. Unfortunately while away my...

Thanks for the reply. I have since spoken to NHBC and they very much are interested, especially as this issue affects more than one property. I think I can safely say you have never been in this situation. It's been a constant stream of initial poor workmanship followed by a never ending drip...

Just a quick update on this.... Thanks for all the advice, the tiles are now back on - no evidence of tanking but at least the tiles are actually stuck to the wall so I guess it should last long enough until we decide to replace ourselves. Anyway, in the mean time it's come to light that...

This is what they appear to have used/will be using - any good? Good enough? The date on the lid worries me as it has a 1yr shelf life. Sorry for all the questions but this job has to be 100% right.

Just to update this thread... The tiles have all now been removed, none were attached particularly well. The tilers have prepared the surface - no idea what they have used but could probably find out. This is how it looks now - anything I should be worried about? I notice I can still see where...

Thanks for the reply. I'll reply in more detail soon, but just to remind you - this is a new build house. If they have built it like this I would imagine NHBC would be interested, as would all the owners of the other houses in the development, which have likely been built the same way. I have...
