For the same reason that I couldn`t have full surround sound! Wife doesn`t want unsightly speakers and, in the case of the kitchen, boiler on display!

Thanks. Glad that is the case. Looking at a lot of new build properties they all seemed to have the boilers on display.

I can only comment on BG as experienced, I can see from some of the responses that they are not everyone's cup of tea! I live in Bedfordshire so if anyone knows of a reputable installer I would be very pleased to receive a name / number. In my earlier post I enquired about my current...

Yes I do and I didn`t accuse anyone on here of being a disreputable tradesman. I am very grateful for the advice that people on here provide.

My current boiler is situated in my kitchen and sits behind a kitchen door to disguise it. Is it correct that this doesn`t meet current regulations and that the boiler should be on view without any obstruction?

This very true and I am so suspicious of getting in any tradesman because you hear so many horror stories. The cowboys drag down the good honest tradesman with them.

I know there will be a warranty on the boiler for the first year but Im sure it wouldn`t cover 24hr call out would it? Im not surprised that there will be many that have not received good service from BG but I have always found them reliable. Its the same though with any major organisation...

Somehow I knew there would be catches to the fabulous money I could save!! Thanks for the feedback.

I am considering changing my current boiler, an Ideal Classic NF40, which is over 15yrs old and getting British Gas to quote for a new one. As a Homecare 200 member there are savings offered but I wondered what opinions the forum has on getting BG to do the install? Also, am I likely...

Just returned from the hospital. Roads now back open and Fire Brigade just finishing off. Only Kidding. They work!! Now when Im looking for the bins down the side Im no longer going to end up walking into them!! Of course, as with every DIY project I take on, it didn`t go...

Got round to fitting extra security light and the junction box / wiring. Now await darkness to see if garden and side gate will shine in 150w light or whether my house will ignite in one big explosion!!

Cheers - Thanks

Thanks - just seen some. The purpose of the glands? Is it to stop water getting into the junction box? Presumably I take the wire from the mains supply into the junction box then feed the two security lights from the junction box?

Thanks for your reply. Any chance you could post some links to the weatherproof junction box and glands that I would need to buy?

Hi, I have a PIR activated security light in my garden and I want to add another to cover the side of my house. The easiest way, in my mind, to power the new light is to run a wire from the existing security light to the new one. Before doing so I wondered if someone could advise...

Thanks for the replies. My intention was to do my own system but I did wonder whether a demand exists for just a power flushing service. Im meticulous in whatever I do and wouldn`t want to take on something which I could end up destroying or not properly resolving.

I've been reading some of the threads on power flushing and wondered if this is something I, as a non plumber and without plumbing experience, could do. I am looking at the machines available such as the Kamco and would like to know if it a straight forward task to carry out. What...

Deja vu or not, thanks for your replies!

Thanks for your reply. I was surprised with your comment re the plumbing, I was thinking that the plumbing would be the hardest, although I had in mind getting plumbing, electrics and tiling done by someone else. Its just a question of how difficult the units are to install but if the...

Thanks for your reply Third Eye. It was a hot day and although the paper was not being put over other material except paint, the wall probably wasn`t in prime condition. I didn`t realise that there could be so many conditions that would cause the gaps I have seen! See what you mean about...
