are you saying they should not all be on the same circuit? are you saying one of the appliance should be going to a different fuse on the wall?

i don't know. the fuse is on the wall and i think they all connected through the ringmain.

Hope you guys can help. I have an electric cooker, electric hob and cooker hood all on the same circuit through the kitchen fuse. The fuse is 13A and it blows every 3 months or so and normally when the cooker and 2 hobs are on together. Any idea why?

grass will need maintainance going forward. looking for a lazy solution. :)

definately agree with you there. i wouldn't dream of doing it myself if i needed a drive as the weight of the car needs serious foundation. this is to be used for have a picnic on so that you don't get dirty shoes after the rain and the soil is still wet.

cheers, i will try this. i have actually laid paving slabs directly onto bare soil many years ago and they seemed fine. my other half insists that we put down sand before plonking the paving slabs down this time but i thought this would just make it worse as it stops the paving sinking into...

does your paving work ok this way?

Is it ok to put paving slabs directly onto bare soil in my back garden? I don't want to do the proper patio thing. I just want some even area that is not muddy to have summer picnics on. Should I pour sand on top of the earth to help with levelling? Someone suggested this, but I think this...

My builder has proposed that he cut a panel off the stud wall with tiles on them to put pipes behind in the bathroom and then put this whole slice back. This will save having to hack the tiles off and retiling. Is this possible? How would the piece be put back? Won't the slice be prone to...

i will need to see if the bottom of the cold water tank is at least 70mm above the shower. I think it should be. The cold water tank is placed at the top of the cupboard in the bathroom. the cupboard has this cold water tank at the top reaching the ceiling and the hot water cylinder is at...

cheers. i will have a look into this. the reason i mention that the cold water tank is the bathroom is because some low pressure shower need to have cold water fed to it from a cold water tank that is situated in the loft so that the water fed to it has at least some pressure.

can you recommend a link where i can have a look at this sort of shower? is the pump within the shower itself or is it separate? (the cold water tank is the cupboard in the bathroom so i don't have gravity for the cold feed from the cold water tank.)

from the replies, it sounds like i will need to put one in as it seems to be required under current regs. i assume that this would stop the person in the bath getting an electric shock if water gets into the pump?

i am worried that the person in the bath would get an electric shock from the water getting into an electrical item placed under the bath. a leak from a faulty or old bath seal will make the wall damp and would take a while to damage the wall if not fixed. overflow of water over the bath...

the shower feed is from the mains and the pressure from the mains to this flat is often low. it is a plumbing problem in a sense but it is also an electrical problem as i am uncertain if an electric pump can be used to pump water to an electric shower. i have read that you can, but the blurb...

My Triton electric shower often has the low pressure light on and the hot water stops coming out because the mains pressure suffers from low fluctuations. Is there a way to fix this? Can pump be fitted to feed cold water at pressure to the exisitng shower? or is there a simpler way? i...

i am thinking of the times when water leaks out from the bath because someone forgot to turn the tap off and water overfills the tub. or when water leaks down the side where the bath seal has become damaged and needs replacing. the builder says he is going to spur the pump in the hot water...

my builder proposes to site a new electric power shower pump under the bath, is this safe? i would have thought not as it would be prone to water leakage, which is dangerous for electrical equipment?
