Hello, I have stripped a floor, which is not level. As the picture shows, the difference in level can go from 0 to -71mm, with the area on level 0 being the most different one from the other areas. The floor is made of concrete and old. I do not think there is damp in the floor but I could...

OK, so replacing it all it is. Thanks

Thanks, I did not know that the old heating systems were not pressurised. This will be use a gas combi boiler.

To those of you who wondered what happened about the the mysterious box, I opened it and found the fuses inside: Also, I think I was right in my worry about the earth cable; all there is is this flimsy steel looking bundle of wires coming out of the supply box and going into the fuse box...

Hello, I have bought a house which I believe was built in the early sixties. I am going to carry out a full refurbishment on it. The previous owners carried out little or no maintenance on it so I guess the heating system was left to deteriorate. I am replacing everything in the heating...

Yes, I would not bother to ask for the change to PME if I did not have it already, I only wanted a good earth wire from the supply and an isolator switch

The gas is cut off while I refurbish the house anyhow, then the plumber will do the necessary connections. Just because I am a worrier, can people confirm if this this the proper gas cut off for the whole house, with the lever in the position shown on the photo (in the meter box)?

I spoke to the DNO and they told me that the tail gauges were fine, that larger gauges are only needed for 3 phase installations. They said that some people are saying that because there was once a panic about the current carrying capacity of the tails. About the earth conductor, they offered...

Thanks, I do not know the rating, I need to check. It is a small house. Am I entitled to a meter upgrade? or are they likely to give me trouble? Also, I take it they should not charge for the upgrade. Oh yes that's right I have just noticed that meagre earth conductor. That would not be...

Oh thanks, so I take it this is not the main gas supply but it is connected to the gas supply pipe which must have another branch going to the boiler. right? (there is no boiler there)
