I followed the wires coming down the wall to the consumer box and see the cooker wire (thicker one with an earth) going to...

Thanks guys, will look to get a sparky round to check it out, probably just change the consumer unit out.

I have had the cooker fuse blow and the fuse holder must have taken a good load because it had burnt signs on it, the back part of the fuse that goes into the fuse box also has signs of being burnt, I will change the fuse, is this red piece in the photo also replaceable?, is there anything else...

The room at the back of the house is the kitchen so if I extended that, the pipe would run through the kitchen. The drain for the soil pipe goes off to the right, my thinking was that I could leave the top part, run the lower floor level through the lean too roof to the right hand side of the...

I live in a 30 yr old house, I noticed water leaking from the waste pipe from one of the upstairs toilets. The horizontal pipe goes from the sink to outside, on the outside wall there is an elbow and it is here that basically the pipe has come out of the elbow, leaving the water to run straight...

I notice there is a check valve isolating the softened water side although there are 1/4 turn valves in the system. I would like to put a tee in the inlet line to the water softener and use that tee to run through the water filter, that should be ok?. I should really make a better job of the...

I noticed the water filter stopped working, traced it back to the self piercing valve the guy installed when fitting the filter / water softener / kitchen, seems the valve is clogged with scale or something so I have plugged this off.The only other place I can tee off from the mains is below the...
