I'm not saying that this specific socket was wired in mind for 2 x Portable 3kW heaters. These 2 are the only 'plug in' heaters. I don't know how these are connected, all I know we run: 2 x 3kW in one room 2 x 3kW in one room 1 x 3kW in one room 1 x 3kW in one room Thanks It would...

Well, said twin socket must be suitable as it's been running 2 x 3kW heaters for years (simultaneously). Was looking forward to the task at hand, but it's proving to be more trouble than it is worth. :( Thanks anyways for the posts

But this is not my duty is it? As we already got the electrical certificate - That certificate is telling me that the socket is rated upto 26A. The only way for this socket to reach 26A is by plugging in 2 x 3.2kW appliances simultaneously. I'm not overloading the socket, so why is this a...

Because 2 x heaters are being installed - Each having it's own plug, both plugged into a twin socket.

Recently had a Electric Shutter fitted from a reputable company, now he done a good job on the door but the way he ran the flex from the door to plug illustrates to me that he is no electrician. The conduit was not secured properly it was just 'jammed' in the corner held by force, it is now...

Hence why I said "Isolate Mains".

Thanks for the posts. So would just fitting flex and plug to an appliance, secured with cable clips and plugging it in fall under the HSE's 'simple task' statement? Or would this have to tested and inspected? Already got certification that sockets are capable of running upto 26A...

or something like that, cant remember if socket below or above trunking :lol:

Thanks Q: With no electrical Certification; I am able to: 0) Isolate Mains. 1) Remove trunking cover of existing electrical installation (Galvanised). 2) Drill through trunking in order to add compression glands (top and bottom) or add steel conduit to trunking circuit(top) and add...

Hello, upon reading the laws and regs in a domestic setting - as a diy'er you are allowed to replace sockets, switches, run spurs except in kitchen/bathroom etc even replace a shower if current circuit 'is there'. My question is with regards to a commercial setting... I'm sure I read that you...

[/url] Hi mate, they look good, thanks for the advice, Seen something similar in CEF: http://www.cef.co.uk/catalogue/products/644288-sunslim-radiant-infra-red-heater-3kw Roughly how much do these units cost? Also as it is 3kW, I assume I can connect flex/plug - Would be convenient as...

Yes, I heard that, 2 litres per hour on some of the burners :P

Hi mate, thanks for the reply! Yes, It makes sense in that setting, I see what you mean 8) Not suitable for us then, I'll just stick to the electric heaters and focus on keeping the heat in, I thought about the humble butane heater (as pictured above) but I fiquired the heat will just...

Thanks John for the post, I'm still very dubious about using one. Perhaps it is not suitable :? Basically they have to be used in ventilated area, which defeats the object of trying to keep the place warm :lol: I guess an option would be to create something like a temporary ceiling...

Hello, hope someone can help me out ! I have searched for forums about this and a few people are saying Propane should never be used indoors. But machine mart are selling them, in particular the "Little Devil Propane Heater" stating that it is suitable for 'small workshops' or the 'home...

Sorry, it was 10 - 4 - 1 ~ s/l/c Just checked it out now, quite surprised, its rock hard and looks much lighter than the previous coat, set overnight, as its only 2-3mm thick I think I'll carry on using the same mix. I think what has helped too, is by using a paddle mixer. I am putting the...

Hi mate, thanks for the post. The only reason why I wanted to use just lime is because I am aiming for a light colored render. The rugby cement is lighter than others, but its still grey and looks like cement :D Anyways, did a test yesterday... Mixed up 10 Sand, 5 Hydrated Lime and 1...

If the answer is yes you must use cement with hydrated lime, what is the minimum amount of cement to lime, sand ratio ie would 5 - 1 - 0.5 be ok, sand, lime, cement i imagine it would look quite light in colour with that mix, but I dont know if it will be good enough many thanks

Hi, looking to render a small wall over the weekend. I put a scratch coat on 6-8mm with ordinary cement 4-1. Put another coat on {10mm} and floated that off, 5 sand, 1 cement, 1 hydrated lime 5-1-1. Now I want to put on final coat, perhaps a pattern/effect. Reading the sites on the...

What others have said :) Only thing I can recommend you on, is a decent respirator. As my job is supplying RPE equipment :D You need the FFP3's. The disposable ones I suggest are 3M 8835, 3M 8833 or 3M 9332. Give me a shout if you need one, just pay for the postage and I'll send you one.
