I missed the indoor bit earlier, in that case as above foam is definitely the way to go as it'll prevent any drafts from the cavity too.

I get what your saying John, that max demand does include the new load from the new charger which is 40a as diversity isn't applied to it. I also can't find what diversity rating would be applied to our solar install so if you assume that's 0 too then that would be 72a that diversity can't be...

Are you suggesting it's wrong John?

The calculator on tradecalcs.co.uk shows a max demand of 139a so I've supplied that figure to national grid and I'll see what they come back with, so far they emailed this morning asking for a photo of the cut out. I understand that a 60a fuse would be fine as the evse ct clamp will reduce the...

I wouldn't bother with testing, treat it as if it is asbestos, double bag it and ask your local council about disposing of it, most tips take it but it needs to be double bagged. Removing it is just a case of being sensible and careful, don't break it up or chuck it about, definitely get a...

Expanding foam then a collar or expanding foam then finish with some of that cement in a tube

Hi all, I'm applying to my dno to have my cutout fuse upgraded to 80a ahead of having am evse installed and they want to know the maximum demand. Both consumer units contain all the following circuits and I've listed the mcb or rcbo size too. Cooker circuit b40 Downstairs sockets b32 Garage...

If its something thick or hard I'll normally core in about 15 to 20mm then use a long 6mm drill bit on hammer and drill around the started core, with most of it stitched out by the 6mm drill it's a lot quicker and easier to core the rest out.

Went with the wife and daughter in September, no issues and didn't see any signs of any trouble.

Good afternoon all, I'm looking at having an ev charging point installed at home and have a question regarding CT clamp placement, I think I'm right in what I'm about to say but would like to double check. So currently I've a consumer unit that feeds the house and a seperate consumer unit...

In the aptly named ludicrous mode it's the equivalent of 610bhp so yes it gets down the road well enough.

Sorry I missed out the per month bit after the overtime, so the car cost 21.5k as I said, the loan I took out is £290pm which is just under £50 less than I get for a days overtime at work. Hopefully that's clearer for you and as I only work 3 days a week 1 extra shift at work a month isn't a...

It's a Tesla Model S P100D. Tyres are 245/35/21 fronts and 265/35/21 rear, there the correct tesla spec Michelin pilot sports which are £1500 a set, fortunately there brand new so I'll not have to worry about them for a bit.

There no worse than any of the other sportier cars I've had so I'm fairly used to the harsher ride they can give, there certainly better than the run flats bmw provide from the factory

I'm not jumping on any bandwagon and saying electric is the way to go for everyone, I said to the dealer just before I left today there's a possibility I'll be selling it on again in 6 months and can't get on with the whole electric vehicle thing but I want to give it a go and decide for myself.
