Inside the consumer unit I have a 30mA RCD and my question is, is there any advantages (or regulations meaning you are forced to) have additional RCDs to protect things like an electric garden strimmer or a shaver socket in a bathroom ? also... I am going to get a Grohe Wireless shower...

thanks! - Thought so ! Is there anything else I should be asking them for ? What about stop taps - Are there good & bad ones (compression / push fit etc ) ? What about these stop taps that have a remote switch on them - Are they any good ?

I am soon going to be getting my old lead pipe replaced that will feed a three bedroom detached house. The moment the water enters the house it will then feed a 22mm copper supply that tees off to 15mm pipes for each item that has a water supply. My questions are: - What size pipe shall i...

thanks guys I thought my hopes where going to be dashed as I had hoped that this scheme would incourage people to have standard boilers to get them replaced with high energy efficient ones. I think the maths currently show that the savings in fuel bills after getting a condensing boiler...

Actually the guy said it was a full days work for 2-3 people. It included 4 holes, moleing, connection to water meter in the road, connection to internal pipework, new stop cock (gave me the option of one of these new switch ones if I wanted it) plus any reenstatement (tarmac etc). Plus as...
