Hi Adam and Chivers67, Pic of Square D CU as requested!

Hi, Chivers67, yes I'll upload a pic on the morning. Do you want it with the cover plate on or removed or both?

Hi All, I need a new consumer unit - the old one is a Square D, and I need an uprated mcb for a more powerful shower - anyway, the electrician says I need to have the supplier come out and fit an isolator and the work should be free of charge... he also said its illegal for him to pull the main...

I TOLD you to look on youtube!

Re:wrapping the ptfe... If in doubt, look on youtube for a demonstration! You asked: "For draining one rad down would I need to worry about adding inhibitor back into the system?" Well, what I did recently was to capture the drained off water, filtered it through a sheet of Plenty kitchen...

Yes, but it's good practice! - to get accustomed to that sort of activity - once you've done it once or twice its no longer a big thing. Hopefully you put plenty of ptfe wraps on the tail. If you do have to remove the tail then it's best to rewrap the threads. Do look on youtube for best way to...

As above, there's a guide on youtube

No, you'll need to undo/loosen the nut from valve to tail b4 tightening up the tail (I take it that the new tail's got flats for a spanner, not internal hex for an Allen key, unlike the older union tail..)

There is a really good guide to various fixings available for pb walls. Well worth viewing:-

Yeah, some sound ideas there! Thanks muchly-appreciate your time.

Hi All! Am replacing a smaller imperial sized rad with a wider metric one. The old rad brackets are attached directly onto plasterboard with those anchors that you attach with a setting tool. The wall is now tiled with ceramic tiles , except where the brackets are. (I tiled around the...

Isn't this particular forum for projects and NOT to ask for specific advice.....?

Hi, just to explain about BSP sizes: ½ inch BSP actually measures ¾ inches OUTSIDE DIAMETER, and ¾ inches BSP actually measures 1 inch OUTSIDE DIAMETER....! Yeah, I know! The BSP refers to the INSIDE DIAMETER of the pipe. That rad valve of yours looks like a ½ inch BSP connection to the rad...

There's a really gr8 youtube guide on exactly what you're asking about! I'll post the link when I find it... This guy is really good!

Hi All! My rising main stopcock or stop valve has started weeping from the gland nut all of a sudden and after years of being OK. (house was built 40years ago) I've tried tentatively to tighten the gland nut, but the stop valve is twisting so I need to take some precautions 1st - especially as...

Perhaps the OP could get advice from his council's planning dept take a sample of the stuff in to show them?.. I've just googled cob houses and it's a possible.

Thanks Both! Appreciate your time and advice

Hi All! Had a little accident a few years ago while in tbe loft and put my foot through the ceiling to the room below. This ceiling was beautifully artexed. Anyway, patched it up from the room below (spare room) with a batten, but years later need to return this room to a living space, so got...

Dunno if this will help, our house has interior walls of soft cement blocks that have the texture of an Aero chocolate bar. You need to use a special plug, BUT my neighbour has a method he's recently revealed to me, and that is to plug the hole with car body filler or that wood filler you mix...
