Thank you for all the replies. The one from the prince of darkness could be useful.

A cooker hood has to be connected to an existing hole of around 10 cm diameter. It is not easy to tidy up the wall from inside. For this reason I am looking for a cap that can be fitted to the tube that will connect to the the cooker hood. My hope is to find a cap that is in some way...

I am trying to find a fitting to cover an external vent fitted from inside a flat, and without using a scafolding. I am thinking of something that functions like the Rawlplug Spring Toggle used for plasterboards. The idea is to be able to push the vent thru the hole on the wall, and...

If electric boilers are 100% efficient at the point of use, does it mean that for a 2 bedroom flat, with only one shower, it is not necessary to have an storage heater as well?

The cost of bringing gas to my property and installing a central heating system is prohibitive. I am considering alternatives. I would like to be able to remove the internal cold water tank and the imersion heater and install instead an efficient electric boiler instead. is there one you...

Thank you all for your replies. The flat will be refurbished completely, and this includes rewiring, and replacing the fuse box. I have checked with some neighbours and found they had no problem with the supply.

I am most grateful for all the replies, particularly for the one from Plugwash. I was hoping that the solution to my problem would be simply to change the board to one similar to those shown in the pictures. It seems I could be wrong. Please confirm.

Thank you for the information

Many thanks for the reply. The flat is on third floor of a small building. Since there is a very large water tank in the loft, residents in flats like mine have removed the small water tanks from their flats. Some of them have gas boilers and others water heaters placed on a platform, leaving...

Thank you for your replies. The pump was installed around 5 years ago. It performed properly until recently. I do not believe the fuse was ever an issue. Hence I had no reason to check the fuse box until now. There I found, and replaced, a 13 Amp fuse. I am happy to follow any advise you...

Thank you for your replies. Following the first advice I have changed the fuse (13 AMP), but the problem with pump remains. Any other suggestion?

Thank you for the reply. The fuse connection is as shown in the photo. I have just checked for fuses in the local shops and they produced 2, 3, amp fuses. Do I need to buy a 20 amp fuse?
