    How to fix to pipework?

    Manual is pretty appalling to be honest, it's one of those badly translated Chinese ones. It doesn't even mention the two white plastic parts but seems logical they fit the connectors on the boiler to convert it to the standard fitment (1/2 inch as it fits the tap connector) Still, I have...

    replacing toilet in ground floor bathroom with soil pipe in concrete floor

    can't add a pic as i'm at work but currently it turns 90Degrees out of the back then a short run <40cm then another 90degree bend then another short run <40cm into soil in the ground. Groundworks isn't an option due to not knowing how the drains run under the house and have so far been quoted in...

    kitchen socket safety

    Yes I think I have been lucky. I'm only going to run one thing at a time until I can extend the ring main to cover this socket then the other spur should be Ok running from that. Thank you for your opinions and answers they have helped alot

    kitchen socket safety

    Thanks. Yes it is a ring circuit except these sockets. Until today it had been running a washing machine, tumble dryer, fridge and freezer all from that spur, which I'm sure would have gone above 13amps at some point in 6 years.. I might try to reduce the load on this set of sockets and add a...

    kitchen socket safety

    If I understand you correctly I can replace the plate for a fused plate? Sorry I don't know the correct terminology just going by what people have replied with. I presume the fuse stops the sockets from overloading the original spur?

A single wire out of the plate runs to the double socket to...

    kitchen socket safety

    The socket that is attached to the grey wire that leaves the bottom of the double socket pictured has no other wires so I know that it is the end. Above the worktop is from the ring main, I haven't checked the wires but I believe there are three wires. This led me to believe I have a spur...

    kitchen socket safety

    Could anybody tell me if the picture attached is a spur running from a spur? The white square box is running from a double socket above the worktop, the wire then runs from the square box to another double socket which is pictured. There is then another wire from that socket that is wired to...
