What about a small section of electric UFCH. Stick a few cheep floor tiles down and the warm air will rise and you wont need anything on the walls etc that might get in the way or damaged.

I've been told its a man thing. :)

Rather than purchase a split load consumer unit I like the idea of having a larger single load unit but using RCBO's. Apart from the obvious cost implications :( is this a good idea. The building is quite large and divides nicely into 4 (if you get my gist), so I thought I would break the...

Whats wrong with the garage? You could divert the warm air outlet from your tumble drier, put it on a timer to both dry your clothes and warm the car!

Doh! Should have used a pseudonym. :wink: I bet you didn't like the matrix either :D

I don't think you said how big your new place is but are you future proofing in any way by flood wiring for things like all house video, audio, phone, computer connectivity etc. or even any of the home automation stuff?

I am looking to tile our new shower area. The choice of tiles is infinite as is the price. Ive been informed that an inferior quality tile will hairline crack in 2-3 years. So the question is how do you determine wether a tiles a make or not :?: We like the look of the mosaics but not...

How come it blew up and didn't simply trip the RCD :wink:

It could be that the room is becoming starved of oxygen causing the flue gases to be drawn back down into the room. Do you have the correct type/size and location of air vent? I think that wood burners require larger vents then gas or oil.

Maybe we ought to rename the forum.......... How about Comedynot.com :wink: I don't know what you guys do for a living, but you should be on the boards with such wit!

I have an outside wall, I just have to go through the utility room to get to it. This is on the ground floor so no soffit.

I am looking for an extractor fan for a bathroom with no outside wall. Plus I would like it to be as flat and unobtrusive/quiet etc as possible but with a good draw. Has anyone had experience of inline extractor fans connected to solid ducting, and is it possible to use in reach of the shower...

Thanks everyone........ I think?

I bought some T&E from a well known Internet supplier S??????X, and was was very disappointed to find the outer plastic almost impossible to slide off once cut. I know Im pretty weak but this is very frustrating. :evil: Any good ideas on how to make it slip off a little easier without...

Sounds about right to me. We have recently bought a gas range and that required 22mm up to 1m from the inlet on the cooker.

Interesting that in the DIYnot - How To section it says the following.... "Routing the cable behind plaster The cable can be run horizontally or vertically but never diagonally - and cannot be routed through thermal plasterboard. When running cable behind plaster it should be run in oval...

Lot cheaper to make it into a nice feature!

Surely on the larger jobs you can still do all the chasing,running on wires etc (the crappy stuff) and get your friendly neighborhood sparky to do the connecting/testing side of things. Both are happy :)

Thanks for the reply. I have managed to order one through our local electrical distributors. Hefty price tag though!

Having asked the boiler manufacturer for a suitable type they suggested a Drayton RB1. Any ideas where I might get one, have searched the net to no avail :cry:
