Yes. The grub screws on the handles.

I'm stumped. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/38656701/tap.JPG I can't get the caps off. Grub screws are out, even removed handle. Tried twisting and gentle coaxing with a screwdriver but seems like a solid stop. Any ideas? I'm trying to get in to clean/replace the inners as its...

Ladies, Gents. I have a new Oak banister, newels etc. Which trade would normally Tung oil that for me please? I would normally do it myself but the love of my life is running out of patience and the Tour de France has just started... Painter and decorator? ? Wood floor trade with a side...

I have got 10 35w halogens in the kitchen on a dimmer. A couple have popped rercently so I thought Id try a couple of 'warm white' dimmable led jobbies: http://www.simplyled.co.uk/GU10-LED-NxtGen-Series-II-Dimmable-22-piece-SMD-5050-430-Lumens-50-watts-equiv_A11CDY.aspx?nh=1...

Sorry Safesinbad. Its simple matt electric UFH heating for under tiles. Thermostat controls just the bathroom.

The thermostat will be 1.3 m away from a sink and 1.5 away from a bath so according to the Wiki guide it is beyond zone 2. Any conclusions please? Regards, Scott,

Not sure as he hasnt turned up with it yet. We requested something like an Aube digital one or anything similar http://www.floorheatingsuperstore-shop.com/aube-digital-thermostat-th-132f-982-p.asp Certainly not IP compliant in any way by the looks of it.

Cheers Londonboy. So back to the Original Post. Is my electrician correct in saying he fit the t-stat in this zone? Rgds Scott.

Thanks for the replies. I can do some measurements tonight to see if it is in Zone 3 but Taylortwocities is implying thats not worth doing?? Any more clarity on this please? Im more than happy to challenge my electrician but the two posts here seem to conflict. If someone points me to...

I've had a look through quite a few posts on this but haven't seen a definitive answer so any help welcome. My electrician has done a first fix for an electrical underfloor heating thermostat in my bathroom. I have read that this may not be allowed but other posts seem to say that it may be...

I am running a plastic water pipe from a rear tap on my house under the garden in trench to a new hose reel at the bottom of the garden. Is this covered under regs? Would I need it inspected? I live in Surrey and plan to take it down about 50cm which I hope is enough. Help welcome. Scott

Specs on dishwasher say 0.5 to 10 bar and 5-10l min so should be ok. Not sure about washing machine yet. I might be thinking ar** about face here but the reason I was half thinking about it is I have a combi that I want to keep fully supplied with CW feed even when appliances filling to avoid...

OK...it's a mad idea but let me ask the question anyway. Can a 50 gallon CW tank in the loft supply CW feeds to Dishwasher, & a Washing machine? I dont know if they require mains pressure to operate but am guessing that they might.... Rgds. Scott.

Hello. Can I chase down one side of an internal block wall to the drill through to a light switch that is being fitted on the other side of the wall? Sounds a bit dodge to me but thought I'd ask the question. I'm doing this as prep for the sparky when he comes in so I cant get it wrong...

For me its all flat-lander as I'm from Sheffield......

Thanks Dextrous. I live in Ham which is inbetween Richmond and Kingston.

Very helpful dextrous. I'm going to do some testing so I get the basic information needed. I t sounds like the electric pumped shower from a the tank may be the way forward. Do you know if you can get 'concealed' ones where all the pump and heater are hidden? I know you can get...

Thanks Dextrous. So mixers arn't good at imbalance pressures? That suprises me a bit as you say I imagine a lot are HW from Cistern and CW from mains. I'm off to screwfix to buy a pressure gauge.... What would happen if the tank ran dry in any of the above scenarios? Do the mixers cut...

No worries lifesagas. We haven't bought anything yet so anything is possible. Let me just clarify that the CW feed is around 14l/min and combi feeds out a good flow rate when its just feeding one tap - not sure on pressure as I cant measure it but its not a geyser.. I was trying to...
