My boiler is right next to an outside wall and i can take the condensate either outside through the wall( there is a gully right outside too) or I can get a flexible Mcalpine pipe and bend it around a gas pipe and twist it around to get eventually under the sink. I am trying to avoid any...

I’m re plumbing the kitchen and need to resolder the cold and hot water outlets to the boiler. Do you leave the fittings connected while soldering or you remove and then re attach? I’m wondering if the water valve might get damaged.

I bought a house last year and discovered the boiler is a 2015 Ideal Logic + 30KW Combi that has it gas feed on a 15mm pipe. The distance between the gas metre and the boiler is around 1.3m pipe run, possibly less as it is installed adjacent to the wall of the gas meter. There are 3 elbows on...

The glow calmed down. I think what I did is tried to top up the boiler and open the two valves on the fill loop to raise the pressure but I closed the return and flow valves also so the pump was constantly running hot as the tado thermostat was staying on as no water was moving around. I’ll...

Open the cover up from an Ideal logic + 30kw and saw this glow. I can’t think it’s normal but is it something to be concerned about ? Is it likely an attachment that needs replacing ?

I have an Ideal C30 boiler it has a filling loop. I cannot see an isolator valve to the cold feed. I am refurbishing my kitchen, shall I add an isolator, thinking of adding a pegler full bore for the boiler cold feed so it is easier when we change the boiler in the future. Shall I add one or...

Can I please check, what sort of torque settings you use for the blue flying RCBO lead of a 32A, 20A and 6A Hager RCBO? The manufacturer says 2Nm2 however I see the 32A has a 4mm cable and not sure what size is the 20A and 6A, looks like 2.5mm stranded. My electrician used around 1.4Nm2 after...

Just bought some and it says Made in UK. So all clear.

Have you guys got any preference over these two makes of cables? I have heard that Prysmian are now manufactured in Turkey?

It is a recirculation hood.

Thanks so much, I don't understand how I could not think I could use one cable as the cable is the spur! One of the thing I read is that the cooker hood needs to be able to be isolated easily without having to reach for a chair hence I did not want to keep that socket at the top of the wall...

My cooker hood does not have a fused isolator They put the cooker on the ring with a double socket next to the top of the cooker hood I want to bring the isolator next to a socket. Above the worktop for easy access. Am I allowed to connect the fused spur as in the diagram. So basically I...

ok I see

Manchester, I will use my own electrician as I want a Hager board with SPD and a few blanks for future installations such as an electric car circuit
