Thanks for your reply. 1. The dryer will be about 1 foot away from the toilet pan. 2.I dont know what the IP rating the machine has. It will be sited outside zone 2. 3. I will try it and see how it works. I can always move it if does not work well. Since it is a condenser dryer and the drying...

Thanks. The RCD is a MK 30mA one. Will post a photo soon. Thanks again. The metal fuse box is the old installation. The centre Crabtree enclosure contains the MK RCD. The CU to the right is for the Economy 7 night storage heaters.

Thanks for your reply. Just to clarify, that having the RCD at the incoming mains is sufficient and that I can go ahead and plug my tumble dryer into the socket in the adjacent room.

Thank you for your reply. There is a 30mA RCD at the mains incomer thats all. The wiring is very old with rewirable fuses. I could plug in a 30mA RCD in the socket and plug the tumble dryer into that. Better still, I could renew the socket outlet incorporating a 30mA RCD.

I want to place my condenser tumble dryer in the bathroom (it has a container to collect the water and does not need to be plumbed in). It will be well away from the bath and the basin but close to the toilet pan. I can run the mains cable through the wall to the adjacent room and plug it in...

Thanks. The bulbs are low wattage mains energysaver candle bulbs 11w. I think as long as they're not illegal, I will leave them in until the kitchen is redone at some stage. It is solid wood cabinets, handmade but very dated though everything works, sink drains away, 30 year old solid Canon...

Thsnks. Maybe I will rip them out and fit new lamps.

Help please. I've looked at WIKI help but could not find an answer. My kitchen has pelmets under wall cupboards and there is a lamp affixed under 4wall cupboards (see attached photo). Each lamp consists of an MK shockproof socket (held in place by a metal band tightly screwed in as shown in the...

Thank you for the clarification. I will leave it as is. Its no problem as I dont need to use the two items together. Thanks again.

There are two 13A socket outlets, each one is wired with its own 2.5 sq mm cable into one 15 Amp fuseway. (is this referred to as a radial circuit?). My question is " does this conform to regulations.?" Clearly if both outlets were used simultaneously each drawing the max 13A, the circuit...

Thanks for the clarification. Just one more question. Is it OK to stick another layer of felt on top? There is an awful lot of dirt and debris on it which no doubt can be swept away and hoovered up, but will it be clean enough for the extra layer to bond?

I dont think laying a new layer of felt on existing covering is possible. Again I dont know for sure not being an expert. Is it usual to stick another layer on top?

That is what I would have thought. All I am doing is merely replacing a perishable membrane with another one.

Thank you. Please can you clarify that I need to or do not need to upgrade the insulation?

I am thinking of replacing the felt on my flat roof. The roof is trouble free, has been up for 20 years or more, no leaks or any condensation. I simply want to renew the covering to avoid any problems as these coverings have a limited life. My question is, do I need to obtain building...

The slope on my 20 years old trouble free felt roof is inadequate (in my humble opinion). I have not had any water problem though. I get a puddle in a corner. The puddle forms whilst it rains and gradually increases until it starts the run off to the gutter. Once it stops raining, the puddle...

I am having my flat roof felt renewed. There is no problem with it. It has been in place for 20 years without any problems. The structure consists of 4 inch by 2 inch joists and firring pieces with roofing deck on top. The ceiling underneath has a vapour barrier(though this has been breached )...

Thank you. I cant implement this method in this existing roof but it certainly is a very interesting concept. I think I will stop worrying about the puddles for now and when the covering is replaced, I will most likely have them investigated and resolved.

Thank you.
