Thanks for your replies.... Hi BN I have had more of a dig around and I must apologise for my less than descriptive previous posts, I was trying to talk like the big boys but can`t quite hack it ! Anyways... I have looked at my CU and it is a circuit breaker type (not fuse wire). The...

Hi All I need to run some electrical cables (10mm and 4mm) behind a built in double cooker. I don`t know how much heat is generated behind the cooker but are there any precautions I should take ? Cheers in advance Lee

Thanks for all your replies. I have discovered that if I take up the bathroom floor I can gain access to the socket ring in the kitchen ceiling, so I am planning to extend the ring to put it two seperate ccts; one to a FCU to run the hob ignition and the extractor hood, one to a double...

Cheers BN I will have another look, and get back to this post. Cheers Lee

Thanks for the replies. Brown-n: 1, I have moved the cooker isolation switch into a double socket sunk into the wall above the worktop. 2, The original cooker was cabled on 10mm2 cable, this is wired into a 40amp circuit off the CU. 3, er, yes 4, 5, The hob is gas, so the power...

Hi Guys, I have done some rewiring in my kitchen and would appreciate your opinions...... When we moved into the house (about 3 months ago) it had not been maintained for about 20+ years. In the kitchen there was an old cooker that had an isolation switch that was fitted into the...

HI All, I have been advised to fit a new boiler and cyclinder. I have had several quotes, some engineers strongly recommend fitting a condensing boiler, others are aginst the idea and want to fit a standard boiler. If the regs next year stipulate all new installs must be condensing...

Hi All, There is probably no definitive answer to this, but how far off the ground do you reckon a chimney cooker should go ?? We have just had a new kitchen fitted and the fitter has put the hood about 5ft from the ground. Now I am no Jack the Giant but this seems a little low. Any...

I am putting in a new kitchen and want to know if there is a safe or "building regs" distance I can put a gas hob next to the side of a larder unit ??? Many thanks Lee

I am not sure what the cylinder is, but I do have an expansion tank in the loft. Also, to confuse matters more, I dug out the boiler handbook (stelrad ideal w rs450) and it looks like it is connected fully pumped with 22mm pipework, not 28mm req for gravity hw. Now I really am lost...

Hi All, I have the following components in my central heating system; acl switchmaster 600 prog, stelerad boiler (not sure what model), honeywell T630 room stat, honeywell L46something cylinder stat, red pump and a honeywell v4043 2 port zone valve. I am assuming I am the proud owner of a...
