On of the stair steps collapsed, I found out a piced of wood that held it in place had been like paper. It was the original wood from 1906!. How do you fix it as it is the second step and have not great deal of access. I am thinking to compact some sand at the bottom with mortar and add bricks...

it’s a bosch

I’m wondering what height do you install the cooker hood from the top of a ceramic electric hob? The manual says 450mm for an electric hob but I find this far too low. Even 650mm feels low. What height do you use?

Ok I see it’s got a black lever and when you turn it it does nothing. I presume you need a radiator key in order to drain it so you turn the black lever into on position and then you turn the little screw with the radiator key?

I need to drain the system on my BAXI 830 as my plumber has passed a pipe through the wrong side of a kitchen leg. He has not fitted any drain valves on the radiators. Does the BAXI 830 has a drain hose attachment? This is the back of it.

Sorry one more thing, I asked him why he did not do the insulation resistance test as some of you suggested and he said because he has to disconnect almost all the lightings and fittings and boiler etc in order to do that and as this was a fairly recent installation he did not feel he needed to...

Hahaha!!!

THE BIG REVEAL! The electrician came back today and he said he put one of the neutrals in the wrong RCD bars! 1 minute fix. All good.

Yes but he is coming on Saturday to check.

UPDATE: I've got the feeling the wires were not connected properly after the EICR. I made a video of the fault. The two RCDs work fine on their own but they seem to trip when both are on without anything plugged in. The external socket seems dry. Also On the left RCD that does the downstairs...

This is the full EICR, I also attach the first results of the EICR that failed, plus the recommendations that were actually carried out.

So yes all the sockets have been working fine for 3 years. The only other thing I suspect one of the issues that the EICR first failed was there were no glands on the cables entering the CU so wondering if after putting the cables back in is what cause the issue. I will go with a henry hoover...

My tenants moved in and they say the rcd is tripping when they plug the hoover in the three rooms in the house but it works ok in the kitchen. The CU is a split load with two RCDs protecting two sets of circuits. The kitchen is on a 32A ring circuit where the rest 3 rooms are on a 20A radial...

Ok great will do that thanks

I have three neutrals clamped together on the light switch. I want to install the neutral on the smart switch. Do I just take one neutral and connect it to the switch and leave the other two joined together or can I connect all three neutrals to the switch?

I’m moving out of my house and will rent it to possibly Nigerian tenants here in a small 2 bedroom terraced house in Manchester Is it worth putting glass balustrade for being low maintainance or would you rather just raise the side wall and put some painted mdf ? My house is the one with the...

I’m having a new door put in by my joiner on Monday. There was a lot of movement on the frame. I took the trims off and there is a gap around the frame with some wooden blocks What is the best thing to stabilise the frame and can o get really long screws that will bite to the brick rather...

My joiner carved out intumescent groves on a fire wooden door in our factory where the groves were already on the frame! Is there a fireproof filler I can use to save a new door and new fitting? Can I use this...

I have not insured the house!
