I have a potterton kingfisher mf50 floor standing boiler. The pilot flame lights but the main gas burner does not. The boiler flame indicator light comes on when the pilot lights. Room and hot water tank therms are working ok. programmer (horstman) indicators come on with the pilot light. Pump...
I've just made 2 bathroom wall cabinets from mdf and painted them white with Farrow and Ball Estate eggshell water based paint. They look fine but I'm wondering if i should apply a varnish or some other type of clear finish to give them a hard scratch resistant finish, and if so, which type?

I have worked in many buildings (including hospitals) where the flooring/ceiling was designed to be accessed for cabling and maintenance by lifting carpet tiles or ceiling panels. Why should domestic properties have different rules on accessibility?
Regarding the ladies not being happy...
Thank you gentlemen, the responses were illuminating. The shower booster already has a 1.0mm t&e cable to a ceiling pullswitch so completing the circuit to a separate fcu with a 3/5 amp fuse would be convenient. Also I can drop all cables down to a convenient built in hot water tank cupboard in...
Thanks. So the first FCU will have one supply and 2 load cables from it with one of them being dropped down to 3 amp via a second FCU?
Would it be ok if these FCU's were in the loft? I thought at least the fan heater FCU would need to be ouside of the bathroom wall and visible?
After much soul searching and contemplating my navel for a year and a day I have come to an unequivocal definition of 'accessible'.
Back in the days when the judiciary still used to hang murderers, the criteria was that the perpetrator had to be 'guilty beyond a REASONABLE doubt'.
I shall apply...
I have a spur from the ring main, terminated in the loft in a fcu. The fcu supplies a load (approx 600 watts) to a shower booster via a pull switch in the bathroom (C U protected by rcd).
I want to fit a bathroom wall fan heater (1kw). Can I install a j/b in the loft and branch off a cable to a...
Thank your for your input. These would do the job. I presume that both switches would be acceptable outside of zone 2 but perhaps the pull cord would have the safer edge? I would prefer not to have to put the switch outside of the bathroom as there is already and existing fcu in there (no...
I want to install a wall fan heater for the bathroom, however, I want it to switch itself off after a given number of minutes (just in case I shoot off to work and forget to turn it off).
An ordinary timer will be subject to the time I set it to come on (plus pull cord override) and go off...
I need to change an indirect cylinder in my daughters house that is clogged with limescale and about 30 years old. I can get a replacement from Wickes for £150 but I'm not sure what size adaptors are needed. I am assuming they will be 2 females at 1"-22mm and 2 males 1"-22mm.
I want to get...
Gentlemen. Thank you for your advice. The reason for the question was that we were fitting new radiators and pipework when we came across a birds nest of loose and exposed wiring and 2 interlinked junction boxes just lying in the void. The lights to an extension had been spured off to a fcu and...
John,
I have an instance where the ring cable L and N wires have been stripped but not cut and a spur cable has been connected via a round jb. Unfortunately the earth wire from the ring cable has been cut short, consequently the two ends have been pieced out using two earth blocks. I.e. the spur...
Can you define accessible for me?
A ring main joint in a back box with a blanking plate over with 2 screws is visible and accessible. A junction box under a short floorboard screwed down with 4 screws is accessible but not visible.
Does accessible mean visible as well as accessible?
