Masterseal socket in bathroom may or may not be rcd protected, No Saddles in the conduit or pipe or whatever feeds it, Does not look like an apprroved mk termination into the socket and would be better if it had entered from below for water ingress protection.

Why would it not provide enough mechanical protection???? Its in the floor unlikeley to be drilled screwed or nailed into and if its suitable for use with water/gas pipes then is more than upto the job of carrying a few T+E cables from A to B .Have you got a price from the above company for...

Hi I would also go with the in screed ducting option as it allows for more cables to be added later if required in the future. The following link is a supplier of plumbing screed ducts http://www.bes.co.uk/ search for pipe ducts. All you need to do is dig the channel out of the...

That will be because the edge trim is quadrant shaped, when met at 90 degrees by another tile trim there will always be a bit stuck out as the trim at the top is cut at 45 degrees and butted up leaving a sharp corner. Most manafacturers make a corner piece which as a rounded profile to match the...

Hi I use a brother PT7600 for all my jobs, excellent label printer many many options and the labels are mostly laminated which is a great bonus as it should never rub off unlike some other dymo type printers i have used in the past . Plus side aswell is the variety of coloured labels they can...

basically the ibox is universal and will work with any of their range of valves, you need a thermostatic valve body which will come with the trim of your choice, have a look on theitr site for the desired finish option your looking for. Nick

Try looking at the hansgrohe range, you will need an Ibox to flush into the wall and then the trim and valve posibilities are virtually endless. Nick

Think you will find it is silicone impregnated heat resistant sleeving to stop the cores from touching should the insulation ever melt. Its to protect the PVC cables Nick

Sorry widdler but i beg to differ with you, they ARE upside down unless they are below those adaptable boxes and you have managed to photograph water defying gravity . ALL MK switched commando sockets have the switch on the right and the socket on the left. See this link...

Covers are off of them and they are mounted upside down so the angled outlet will face up as opposed to down by the looks of it. hence the reason why the abb isolator is upside down in the panel. Definitekey are not suitable for that location. Nick

SALOPIAN Dont reply to posts that are over 2 years old, its highly likeley he has fixed it by now and maybe moved house had 2 children and a divorce LOL oh and 3 different cars and even a sex change is a possibility :) :) :)

Never seen an oven element with a earth tag anyways so probably an error in the description Nick

Give us a clue Lec how much you paid and how many did you buy from them. Also did they charge for delivery ??? I am seriously considering buyig some. Nick

I would just leave it till you get back then as it has been like it for quite a whie a few extra days/weeks wont hurt i imagine. Just ring them when you get back . Nick

Leaking tar (bitumen ) from your mains cut out is a sign that there is a loose connection or high resistance joint inside causing excess heat to make the bitumen liquify. Call your local electricity suppliers emergency number and tell them there is bitumen leaking from your service head and they...

It depends on how long you want it to last. ? think about it , you do not see many office buildings with plastic glazing bars for a reason of longevity. plastic can and will become brittle over a long period of time if exposed to UV radiation. powder coated aluminium will last forever. go...

Wickes sell it aswell mate

You do have a fuse box mate, that big grey box with lots of cables going into it is an old fusebox. you turn the switch to off then the front comes of to show your fuses in ceramic holders. Nick

Try changing the fuse and dont just plug it in and switch on, gently move the switch to the on position and it should be ok. Mines the same, mine tripped a b32 MCB the other day when i didnt do the soft start method , and to boot managed to blow up the charger for the cordless phones downstairs...

I think a call to your insurers is in order, a defect of this size could cost thousands to rectify properly , and is most likely beyond the realms of a diyer. Nick
