Hmm looks damp near the dishwasher.

I read the meter this morning and it was on 607.0296 and not moving. Ran the tap for a few seconds and the meter started to move and went up to 607.0302 I waited 1 hour and the reading hadn't moved, so if its a leak its a very small one.

Here's a picture of the kitchen whilst it was being renovated. The pipework is above the concrete in the picture but goes into the concrete just out of shot on the right.

Burnerman, not sure where the DPC is but I think its the black line 3 bricks higher than the juntions box rather than below the junction box.

Hi, The kitchen is on the other side of the wall so yes there is a radiator, sink, dishwasher etc. But note the height difference. The window sills in picture 1 are waist height when you stand in the kitchen. So the damp patch is below the floor and the floor is concrete. Also note in...

Hi, This section of the wall always seems to look damp. Any idea what it is or what I should do? It hasnt rained at all today when I took the pictures. Thanks

Nope, mine are about sheds. I recently bought a shed.

OK Thanks, I'll see if the back box wanted to come out or not. If not I might do something along the lines of the plugwash solution.

That would have been the ideal solution but the original spur doesn't reach the single box. A terminal block behind the double, to a switched fcu on the single and then feeding the hidden sockets and looping back to the double too might be an idea. It means I keep the double withe 'downside'...

OK Thanks. A single is fine for the existing outlet, it's only used for hoovering. Think I'll put a dual there then and just remove/plaster over the blanking plate.

They're not inaccessible, just hidden. That brown lid you can see comes off. It's a pain to do though because its 2 metres long and has various ornaments and lamps etc on it so an external switch would be handy. There's nowhere upstream of the double to put a fcu. Guess I'll have to replace...

Hi, I want to sort out this eyesore. There's nothing behind the blanking plate, it's an old phone socket. The extension is 4 gang with a small load (5w lamp, cordless phone and a charger) and is hidden in the brick unit. I was thinking of a spur from the double socket to a switched fcu...

Thanks, yes it looks like the cost of a new electric shower isn't that much more than the cost of repair.

Hi, My Triton Ivory 2 is leaking water from the white plastic bit shown in the picture. Not sure if it has an O ring in it, the screws are not easily accessible. I looked on the Triton spares site but they only list Ivory 3 and 4 so I guess the shower is quite old. Can the gap be sealed...
