I have 16 rads in my house. Got work done a few years ago and moved the rad with some plastic pipe. The plastic pipe was connected where the rad was, and instead of drilling holes through the joist. The pipes where brought over the joist in the void area then back into the same room on the...

Never knew there was another section. Is there much difference between the regs in the UK and Ireland?

I like your thinking . Thumbs up!

Your honor, it was a local electrican who removed and put it back on. Re your comment thou, it is actually against the law/regs for anyone to open it?

O I know this isn't a diy job. Like I said on my last post, I wouldn't touch this or let anyone near it who's not qualified. Not a chance I'd put my life at risk letting anyone near it who's not registered and qualifed. All the circuits for the house are coming from above into this consumer...

Yes I'll be having a spark come look at it. I'm not comfortable even taking the cover off or even switching an fuse off in any consumer unit she wouldn't even attempt to go near this. Was just curious as to why you said bin and replace it. Everything working perfectly. It was an electrician...

What's your reasons for this thou.
