hehe, thats very true!! Didn't think of it like that. heatingman, I will check that out thanks.

Although I don't like these as much, would these 'extract' ok above a hob? http://www.bathroomandkitchenupdate.com/news/fullstory.php/aid/4653/Ventilation_fans_from_Airflow_in_a_range_of_modern_shades.html As they look a bit more stylish than normal white plastic ones.

Good idea about cutting it down actually. Whats actually inside the "chimney" bit? Just a flue? 100mm diameter?

Here is a crappy pic of the unfinished kitchen. Hopefully it will show where I'd like the hood.

I would like a new Extract chimney hood in our new kitchen like this: http://www.appliance-world.co.uk/Bosch_**+DWW062460B_60cm+Chimney+Hood.html?osCsid=430669d69502b3f81da9df6a5b0c194c Although due to the kitchen being small, and the Hob near a sloping roof, the ducting/chimney wouldn't...

lol, as she's 80 and hasn't a clue about anything :lol:

What does that mean guys? lol

To be honest she wouldn't know what she has unfortunately. All she does know if the water needs to be hot before the heating. So I guess it is gravity fed. In terms of wiring, I guess it's a single live input, with two outputs; One for water, and one for central heating?

Oh yeah, thanks for that. Looks simple enough for her. Will that be ok for her needs in terms of she said about needing to heat the hot water before the heating?

Holty, your link doesn't work? Spraggo, is she correct saying she needs to heat the hot water before the central heating will work? Should that timer just wire in the same as the current one?

Hi, My grans Central Heating and Water Heating timer has stopped working correctly and she's struggling with it now the cold weather is here. This is the 40 year old beast: Can you get a really simple one? Something like this, but with two on, so she can easily do it? She...

I need to find one of these for my girlfriends sisters loo. But can't seem to find one the same? I went to Homebase, and got one of these....but it didn't work http://www.screwfix.com/prods/44070/Plumbing/Toilet-Fittings/Fluidmaster-Multi-Purpose-Washer-Black-Pack-of-3 Should it...

Good thinking! Just checked though in the cupboard, but there isn't anything there unfortunately. Seems weird how this has just happened, as no one will have touched anything, other than pressing the switches. Cheers for the suggestion though :)

helpful.......

We own the flats. But to be honest I work in heavy industry not domestic, so might get someone in. Where do you think the problem could be? In one of the roses somewhere?

Yeah :) The emergency lights do come on when the fuse is pulled out.

Where I live we have 4 push, timed switches for the hallway. One of them is totally separate for one of the flats. The other 3 are all linked together, and turn on 3 lights. The problem is, the lights have started staying on! Except for the one on its own. I've disconnected all the...

Thanks for the reply. A friend asked me about, and I didnt want to bullsh*t him thinking I knew about, so thought I'd ask, as I new I'd get the right advise here :) The current fitting is in zone 2. So obviously would be worth changing to something with at least IP44 Rating.

Oh yeah sorry, I know that part. But how it is now just with flex, does it legally have to be changed? Or is it allowed to stay like that? It will be getting change by the way, I was just curious.

If you had a bathroom with a light which was just a piece of white flex with a lamp on the end, what's the best thing to change this to? As its an existing installation can you get a shade for it, or does it legally have to be changed to suit the zone? Cheers
