It is totally illegal to run cables in cavity walls as there are still quite a few cavity insulations that dont have a fire ratting. Especially the blown in types. Some do, but many dont.

Remember RCBO's are the best way to go as if one trips its only that circuit. But a normal 12 way board with 2 RCD main switches + 12 fuses is around £70-£80 with fuses. If you want RCBO's add around £200, So £280.00 + sundries @ £100 = £380.00 + a fair £500 labour for 1 days work £880.00 +...

I was just thinking of upgrading my gravity hot water system to a sealed system on tank side of things. Sods law the boiler just packed up & we think it might be the heat exchanger @ around £600 + fitting. Now i cant afford to update everything & was thinking of going down the combi route...

Ditto with the others, that's the main intake, not solar.

We often on larger jobs 2 plated everything, running live & neutral in & out of the switches & a 3 core & earth to each light. We was covered for most eventuality's. We would also fit 35mm boxes every ware. This made fitting light fittings so much easier with just one cable.

Seems to work well for the Arab/Muslims community's as well

Sounds like a 1/2 blockage & you really need that manhole cover off. It will give you the opportunity to rod both ways up or down the soil pipe.

There is quite often an engineers code on alarm systems, so you have to call them out. When your decorator cut the wire, its quite possible he may of blown a fuse in the alarm panel. I would call the engineer & let the decorator pay.

Hi, thanks for the feedback. we are looking at a 200lt tank & we have 4.1 bar with a flow of 10lt per 28seconds. hopping this should be more than enough. thanks

Hi, looking to ask our plumber to fit an unvented hot water tank as we live in a bungalow & need a better head of pressure for some taps & 2 showers. Now, we fitted a 25mm poly main years ago & have a great flow & pressure, so time for an upgrade. Now most tanks we looked at only have one 22mm...

I got some 100w led floods from china "Where many are made" & replaced the floods around the house. I needed 5 at £12 each. At that price i purchased 8 & over 3 years i have used the spare 3 i had. Not as long lasting as promised.

Its called a war. Why are people going on about women & children being killed. No bomb or missile can tell us what its going to kill. In world war 2, did the Germans ask the women & children of the UK & many other country's to go to a certain town & we wont bomb it. No! its called war. The Arab...

A friend is doing up an old railway ticket office that used to be fed off a local level crossing supply. This was for just 2 lights & 1 double power point. They now want a 40amp supply & asked to local lecy board for a new main & was quoted quite a few thousand pounds because it needs a...

Ah! Thanks, that will save me bashing my head on the wall. They said at owl that its via a 3rd party weather station, but didn't say if it was a problem. Thanks

Hi, has anyone lost the weather repot on the top left of there owl intuition Browser like below ?? Thanks.

Just on a separate note, i found my bathroom was very steamy even with a good fan fitted. Good insulation will help, but what really helped with my one was a larger radiator. With more heat i don't even get the mirror misting up.

Hi, thanks for the input, but it is staying at http only.

Hi, hope you can help. i have a CCTV DVR which i would like to access remotely. I have registered with a DNSdynamic as i don't have a static IP address. Now this seems to be fine & i can get to my login page via this service for the CCTV DVR, but it wont except my user name & password for the...

Twin cable were about in the 60's but not the 80's. So you can assume it was an upgrade in the 80's. Instead of fitting RCBO's could you not fit a 17th addition board board fitted with 2 RCD's & a main switch as it will be a lot cheaper than RCBO's. (Around £60 for the board with fuses) The...

Ah! thats the nice thing about forums is that you can get pointed in new directions & this page http://www.fish4parts.co.uk/Plumbing.81/Pipe-Clamps-%25252F-Clips.10930243/ should solve it as i can get the old clips out & support from above.
