    Identify system?

    Hi, I'm trying to understand my mother's heating. Pics below. Boiler is a Potterton Netaheat, valve is mid position, thermostat on tank, room thermostat and new siemens programmer. Thing is, the new programmer was a plug in replacement for and old Honeywell which was set to hot water, or...

    Need Vinckier MCB's

    Hi, I have a Vinckier consumer unit in the house, I need some spare MCB's for it. 6/16/32/40 (20?) amp. The markings on them are M6 Type 2 and the amperage. Does anyone know where I can get hold of them - I've searched the net with no luck. Thanks in advance, Neil.

    Damp proofing Log cabin Concrete Base

    Thanks, I don't think I can ditch the wooden bearers - they're grooved to accept the first log/plank. I am considering cutting out the channel though. If I put a DPM on top of the slab, should I run it under the bearers or in between the bearer and the first log/plank? I've been...

    Damp proofing Log cabin Concrete Base

    I've had a 4 x 5 M concrete base laid for a Log Cabin (Lugarde kit), but no DPM underneath, it sits on 5 piles. I've built a berlin wall to retain soil on the high side (see pic) and dug a 4" drainage channel around the perimeter of the base. The base is slightly oversize (about 100/150mm all...

    Concrete Slab Levelling

    Thanks, I'll pack it level. There is something else worrying me; The cabin will be 5 x 4m dead, but the base is 5.2 x 4.2. It was dug into a slope (2' 6" to nothing) and only shuttered on the low side which sits out of the ground 6". I've dug a 5 inch drainage channel all around the...

    Concrete Slab Levelling

    I've had a 5m x 4m (6") concrete slab laid as a base for a log cabin (kit). The base has a 20mm belly/dip front to back in the middle of the 5m run. I think this might cause me problems with the build and windows/doors and weather tightness between the interlocking logs. Cabin is built...

    Which spec Fireboard?

    Hi, I'll be building an interior false chimney breast (inset above mantlepiece) to house a balanced flue from a gas fire (ground floor). The fire also convects warm air into and out of the air space in the false breast. (side vents) The fire installers have advised me to to make it out of...

    MCB in on position, but still have broken circuit

    Hi, Sometimes my 6amp MCB trips when a bulb blows, however, this time my son switched on a light upstairs and a bulb blew, but the MCB did not trip but the circuit is broken. Is the MCB itself blown? Can it fail and stay in the on position? I have a spare to replace it, but don't wish...
