Thanks for taking the time Bernand. Much appreciated. Given an MCB comes as 50amp or next up is 63amp ... I assume I should be going for 63amp. I would be tempted to go for a 50amp as rare we will have more than a couple of hobs and ovens running at same time. What would be the issue being of...

Does that imply an 85amp fuse?? Manufacturer says 53.

Getting the power to the cooker isn’t an issue - it’s just working out what power, what cable size and what fuse

Hello all I am taking a range cooker to france and the kitchen fitter in France has asked that I check if the current feed at the house is suitable. To do this I believe I need to check the size of the current cable and the dedicated fuse from the fuse box that feeds it. The oven...

That might be a great idea ... as I am very concerned about getting the holes aligned to the fitting!

thanks all - wood treatment purchased

So i think my only option is to diamond drill the wall, use a 2 part resin and rods. I need to hope I get into actual stone versus mortar on this! Any others ideas are welcome!

Haven’t yet worked out how to fix this into the stone and mortar wall but this is a good idea once I have.

Here is an old wood support that is being attacked by the weather and wood eating bugs! Can anyone suggest the best way to treat this ... I can not replace it just yet but I want to stem the flow of damage. It is partially covered but is open to elements.

I have an old concrete floor in a barn that is perpetually dusty.. I want to apply some some of seal to it to allow it to be more easily cleaned. Hopefully this will also keep it from creating dust too. It is a quite a big volume. Any ideas of what to use?

I have a quite brittle old wall I need to fix the following bracket (for a heavy basketball hoop). The instructions for fixing is attached but I feel I need a substantial fitting. Can anyone recommend? Would I be better using a resin or an anchor of some sort?

Reposting - any takers?

Hello all - have discovers the below tiled floor from the early 1900s under the bathroom floor. Looking for advice on how to clean them up? Is this a chemical fix or do they need some sort of heavy abrasive? Any advice from anyone who may have done this before or is in the tile trade!

Coming back to this ... would this be suitable to replace the existing old light fitting? And does it require a driver (it doesn’t say)? https://www.ledfirstchoice.co.uk/v-tac-slimline-6ft-batten-light-60w-6000k.html

The room behind is also a bathroom. A bath in fact. So might be lucky and they are fed from there. Will have a look

Now that is a good idea. There might be enough play to just push them down into the gap...
