It’s all RCBOs!

Whilst renovating our bungalow, I had plenty of circuits put in. Partly to isolate faults more easily, but also as we were renovating room by room, it meant things could be kept live in various areas, whilst others were in bits.

Hi all, I've noticed the past week a bit of condensation forming on the back of the layboards. The temperature has been down to about 2degrees, and very wet until today. The insulation is a bit untidy, but it is continuous, The space between the warm flat roof space and the loft is...

I covered mine with plastic pots. Was easy to make a hole for the cabling. (All LED, so limited heat) Those lights look like the back of mine - Aurora Enlite EN-FD101W

You think every customer should validate any readings? I never do. I may check usage now and again, but if by DD doesn't get updated, I feel I am safe to assume it is roughly correct. When our water meter started under-reading the water company came out and spoke to us, and then replaced the...

Lutron Caseta is only available in the US. In the UK you need Lutron RA2

I have a very similar model, and for the money it's fine and has done well so far.

Absolutely, Kingspan GreenGuard is good for this. But isn't it quite common for cavity construction to fill the cavity below a certain level, thus creating a cold bridge? We have a busy family home, and with complete external insulation and modern well fitted windows, the house is a...

Were they travelling folk...?

Solid blocks and insulate externally.... may as well make the blocks part of your 'heat store'.....

Not really good enough, 100mm of Rockwool won’t have the same U value as the probably 90mm PIR in the cavity. He should really fit the same spec of PIR and seal it well. Could take him a while….

Yes 100mm is whats recommended.... I applied using a 4" foam roller. I'd just keep the contact adhesive in the house, and run it out when you do the work, and you will be OK. @Notch7 picked up my mistake - yes nail through a batten on the overhanging excess rubber, nails alone will pull...

Good that there will be drips and kerbs. Yes glue the rubber down over the whole roof. If you have excess rubber where the damaged fascia will go, bang a few clout nails as far down the wood fascia as you can to seal it all up, and when the drip goes on that rubber will be cut off. Don't...

I guess so, it seems there is no gutter then? In that case water will run down the fascia and against the side of the building, which isn't good news. A drip edge / trim is always pretty important. I'd also not want to trust glue on the top if a thin piece of fascia as the only method to stop...

Sounds unusual, the EDPM would terminate within the drip trim. The fascia would be below that, and about 25mm further in....

Some of the replies here are exactly why people don’t bother asking questions. Some people have to act all high and mighty, though, sadly

Well who do you need to show the report to?

Yes it will, so where heat is being lost rapidly will show as cold. Certifications are worth very little here.... who needs to see the certification?

COM1 and COM2 are the same as COM on the old. Without being able to edit your photo, on the new switch the top COM1 and L11, L12 are for 1 switch, COM2 and L21, L22 are the other switch. Get the COMs in place, and the other 2 wires for each side are interchangeable... if you get them the...

Surely a thermal camera is the right way to go?
