Their website seems to think so... https://www.wagobox.com/how/ I sort of assumed that meant from a regs perspective they were. It's not especially well defined is it?

There is no finer reason for doing anything. We must help this man.

I had my first encounter with one of those Wagobox things recently and I have to say I was impressed. Having cocked the wiring up at one point I had to 'de-wire' one of the terminals and it took the strength of Samson, some pliers and a degree of swearing to get the wire out again. Yes - I could...

Hi Did that, and PM'd you. Hope it works.

Likewise. Despite doing many DIY things before, I'd never fitted a sink until recently. I just could not believe that basin waste was still so arcane. 3 attempts to fix it drive me apoplectic, until I discovered basin mate. Why the hell is this just not standard in every waste kit?

Thrapston area.

[/url] Yeah - why not - although what I need is a bit more basic than that! Where are you based? Send me a PM if you like.

Fair comment. May not be much cost differential. The existing fire doesn't actually look very old, but I suspect it may be around 10 years or so.

Hi Was at a friends house last night and they had this remote controlled gas fire, which I have subsequently learned (bit of googling) is not unusual, but I was amazed!! Press button - flame up. Press button - flame down. We'll be putting men on the moon next. We have quite a nice LPG fire...

??? I'm not in Epping Forest! I'm in Northants. EDITED TO SAY Oh - must read the post. I thought you were being generous. It was only a stopcock...

It was a rather cold weekend... I'm amazed people don't know where the stopcock is. Anyway - you sufficiently instilled panic in me to go back to the house and switch off the stopcock feeding the shed / kitchen from inside the other end of the house (its a stupid piece of plumbing). No...

Thanks. The house is used pretty much daily despite being empty at nights. The wife takes the kids to school in the same village and does stuff there. It's rarely left for more than 12 hours (although, yes, 12 hours is a heck of a lot of water). The heating is on a low setting and the valves...

It's been a very exciting Sunday. Our new house is still unoccupied for reasons that pain me to explain, but we went there anyway to do some DIY here and there. I walk past the outbuilding and hear a bad fizzing noise. I look at the wall on the outside - Flemish bond, single brick. It's damp...

I must admit to being a bit worried by this statement. Before you're messing around with the socket / FCU (Fused Connection Unit - which is what your heater is wired into) you really should be isolating the circuit, regardless of the time of day. Proving that it is truly dead may be difficult...

Lots of people have said 'overcurrent protection' but to make this clear in laymans... It should have some means of protecting the circuit against overload and/or short circuit. In simple parlance, this is a 'fuse', but nowadays more likely a miniature circuit breaker (MCB). This will sense...

I'm really staggered by this. This is a forum that from time to time screeches 'get a professional, get a professional - you don't know what you're doing', and yet, as a reasonably competent DIY'er even I could immediately spot what was wrong here. If it was installed by a 'professional'...

Got PX42 written on it, from which I deduce it is made by a company called PX Cables. They seem kosher enough based on a quick google.

[/url] That's the stuff. I'm going to go and see if its got "Atom" written on it later. Looks EXACTLY like that.

I bought her an ironing board once. For Christmas. She didn't seem to like that. And I wrapped the f***ing thing.

Don't think so. But maybe. I can talk about tools all night.
