Hi guys the wife wants me to change single socket on the landing to a double. Not difficult however the electrician who wired the house when it was built has cut the cables too short, my original plan was to place the new back box in the middle of the old one, but I can't as there is a stud...

Just a update,I had the intergas fitted last week, bit of a pain as the cold feed from the tank in the loft was partially blocked, anyway seems to be sorted now, fit into the cupboard with a bit of a mess around with pipes. Had to move the end panels that box the boiler in a inch forward to...

My cupboard is 600mm wide by 960mm high so hopefully it will fit

Also do intergas fit into standard cupboards, my potterton currently fits, but the pump is above the boiler, with the top mounted flue instead of the rear exit, I am not sure if space will be a bit tight

Thanks, think will go Intergas, the bosch fitter commented on how good their backup and warranty repairs and spare part availability is, but hopefully intergas wont need the spare parts! Not moving from the Hive controls as its wife friendly! So its simple for the hive to be wired into the...

Hi guys, finally getting a new boiler after years of deciding, the Prima B is starting to slowly die! Current Open Vent system, like for like replacement, looking at the Intergas OV or the Worcester Bosch 15RI, 2 different installers, 2 different recommendations, We currently have British Gas...

Thanks will try the x200. The noise gets louder when I turn the pump down Also currently Looking at a new intergas or Worcester boiler

Hi guys, my Potterton Prima 40b Open Vent has started making a droning noise, this only started after British Gas did their annual service (The guy seemed to have problems putting the bits back inside the boiler... could that cause the noise?) It only happens after about 30minutes and is...

Hi guys we are thinking of changing our dining room to led spots from a single drop pendent as part of a refurbished project. Currently the downstairs lights are not rcd protected, it's a split board with sockets etc rcd, but not the lights. Would the downstairs lights need upgrading to rcd...

So ball valve adjustment is possible/probable? They are here between 8 and 1 tomorrow, hopefully its nothing too major, don't want to have to start digging pipes etc out if walls

i don't think anything is fed from the cold tank, as when I turn the main water off under the kitchen sink, the hot still works, but non of the cold taps/toilets work

Hello, need some advice, i was putting stuff into the loft and noticed a dripping noise, its a noise of water dripping into water, i would guess from the F + E Tank in the loft or the cold water tank. We have had some work done to the heating, new towel rads in the bathrooms and the radiator in...

Hi guys I need some led plinth lights which are a warm white colour. Looked online relatively difficult to find. Any recommendations on brand and where to buy them from Thanks Chris

Its a outside wall, so no option of a socket on the other side, the fitters spoken to the electrician, they are going to fit a fused connection unit up there, I like that idea of repair as it means I can fit remote LED lights up there now if I want :D

It won't need to be plastered over as it will be behind the unit if that makes a difference?

I have spoken to the electrician on the way home, he said he would probably be able to crimp and heat shrink the cable, as long as that's safe then I am happy, granted a replacement cable would be better, but if there is no major problem with crimping all should be good, the repair can be...

Its behind the fixing points of the wall units,

Yeah he will be! Just wanting to know if its going to be a big job to repair and take more time up! Can they use a wago or crimp the neutral, would this be acceptable?

I am not sure, I haven't seen the damage as I am currently at work, but I presume its in a allowed zone as everything else seems to be... Changing the whole length of cable could be problematic as there is a newly tiled bathroom floor above!

Hi guys, my kitchen fitter has drilled through the neutral wire on the ring main while fitting the kitchen units, it tripped the RCD and he's joined the neutral with a connector block and got it running again, I know this is not a correct repair, What's the best way to repair this, we have a...
