Hi, I'm looking to engage an electrician who can help troubleshoot a tripping RCD issue on my garden lighting and water pump circuit. I live in Wetherby, Leeds LS22. I have posted details of the job here. I would be happy to discuss with anyone. Thanks.

Thanks noseall, I guess that's good to know. I'm pretty sure this crack occurred as a result of pilling being performed in the field next to us where they are building lots of square houses as I've never noticed it before.

I noticed recently a crack in a long stone lintel above a large window on the ground floor of my house, which was built 24 years ago and I have lived in since new. As far as I can tell, it appears to go all the way through the lintel, but obviously I can really only see a small part of the...

Yes Google is brilliant, but I had already found those and they are similar, but not the same as they don't have the small peg that fits into the shelf. I also used Google Lens to search by the photo, but that didn't find a match!

Yes, that's the plan if I can't find the same support, but thought I'd give it a try first.

Job perfectly done leaving lots of room to fit the new oven: The cutout I made to the plywood at the back of the cupboard next to the oven unit, gave access to the gas pipe:

One of the four cupboard shelf supports has gone missing and I can't seem to find a match anywhere. Does anyone know where I can source some of the following? They are quite unusual (and clever!) as they prevent the shelf from moving around. It's not obvious from the photos, but the back of...

So, I'm looking to purchase a 2-gang socket to replace the cooker socket shown in my earlier photo. I'm a little concerned about the size of the 6mm wires that will be feeding the socket. The following photo shows the cable end that was removed from the old oven and the oven circuit cable is...

So, the hob gas pipe has been re-routed and I've ordered the oven, now that there's the depth to fit it in the oven cupboard. I've gone for a Bosch HHF113BROB, which comes with a fitted plug according to the online installation manual. The manual also states "Only licensed specialists may...

I'm not sure exactly what route the gas pipe takes. As you say, it appears to run horizontally along the wall and is fed from the right of the oven to the corner, where the boiler is situated. The big problem is how to access the pipe through the back of the units, without wrecking them. Yes...

I agree, a multitool would probably cut out the wood. I seem to recall cupboard units tend to use special screws, which are quite short, so it would be possible to cut close to the edge with the multitool. I assume as the cupboard is in place, removing that back piece won't really affect the...

I have considered that, but it is a rental and replacing the perfectly working gas hob is an expense I can do without. Plus the tenants have expressed a desire to stick with a gas hob.

That wouldn't surprise me in the slightest as the guy who owned the house before us (we have owned it since 2015) was a complete diy botcher as I'm still finding out! I suspect he also fitted the kitchen units.
