I have fitted a new Mira Thermostatic Atom shower (large fixed head with diverter). The temperature is just warm, not HOT. I have adjusted the temperature to max behind the temperature handle as the instructions. Every other Hot outlet in the house gets very Hot. The pressure everywhere...

Definitely paying! The hob will be a gas hob but obviously needs a socket for the plug/spark to light. Would this need to come off the cooker circuit too? Or fine off the socket ring? We have mentioned it a few times, the quote does say 'alter wiring for 2 ovens' but nothing has been altered...

I will go through it again with the electrician when they come back. It seem daft while we are doing the kitchen for them to maybe cut corners and then when come to use both ovens at same time it trips or sn't a worse.This isn't just an 'odd jobber electrician' either, got quite a few...

Thanks. Would the best way be to have the old cooker cable feed a box? and then have 2 feeds off this to 2 single sockets? Or alter the wiring from the double socket to 2 singles? But the ovens would then stil be running off the same circuit? I have gone through this with the electrician and...

Everything would be supplied by the same kitchen ring circuit. Maybe just a toaster and a slow cooker which wouldn't be on at same time as ovens. The hob socket and extractor also. We wouldn't have anymore machines as fridge and water boiler is the other side of the room which is a different...

Much appreciated for the response. I am no electrician. But it didn't seem right to me. So the cooker cable feeding the double socket for 2 single ovens, then hob and extractor, and the other double sockets off the normal ring main be ok?

We are currently redoing our kitchen. I have got an electrician in so I am not doing any of the following work. It's just to check really as looking online seems it's not correct. Layout is: Double socket number 1 loops out and feeds double socket number 2, loops onto hob socket,this spurs to a...

Just thought I'd let you know how I got on. Put a non return valve on the cold feed which has solved that problem. Pressure is low but it was anyway due to being tank fed. Also had a look and the shower feed does come off the mains (teed off before the feed goes into CWSC) so now I know I can...

Thanks. If the decision is made to take the storage tank out then a plumber will be recruited. I won't know until I go back and see if the previous shower was connected to the tank or comes off the mains.

Much appreciated. I will let you know how I get on, will be over the next week or so. I will check the shower first and if it is already mains fed leave as it is. I tested the old shower before ripping it out and seemed good pressure and. temperature. Am I correct in that shower doesn't...

As it stands at the moment I put a NRV on the cold as the hot is higher pressure. What if I do as above and 'convert' cold supply to mains pressure for the basin, put a NRV on both? Or will it then be balanced so no need?

Would that just be a case of trying it and seeing if the pipework is sound enough as most of the pipes run under the suspended floor so can't tell if there is a leak? Any kind of pressure test we could do?

Thanks. I will fit one and see if it fixes the problem and if still get water from the cold. I'd say hot is definitely higher pressure going on the main bathroom bath and basin.

Much appreciated. I will double check the shower plumbing and see if it definitely does come from tank or is mains fed already. The cold pressure is quite low in main Bathroom and en suite so if it does come from tank I might look at getting the tank removed. Would it have been left in for a...

Just fitted a new basin with a Grohe mixer tap. The tap has 2 flexis pre-installed which I have connected to hot and other to cold. Our system is a Worcester 28i Junior boiler, cold tank still present in loft feeding all cold taps in Bungalow (except Kitchen). No hot water tank. Hot water...

Is not that because Qvis is no good? Or another reason? Any recommendations for a replacement?

I don't have a manual as it was already installed in the house we purchased. I haven't worked out how to view yet, if it's all switched on and recording to the qvis box, how do I the view this?

Looking at the CCTV the house has. I don't think it's anything high end. We don't currently have internet access at the house but we will do on the near future. We will want to be able view the cameras over the internet/via an app. So of I need to upgrade anything I will do beforehand. Already...

I've got a shower tray to fit, a 1000 X 800 offset quadrant. It is only in a small ensuite (1800x1550) and we were thinking of just having glass on the 2 sides and having the quadrant part open. Shower tray will be raised off the floor on a plinth and a rainfall shower head. Do you think much...
