I agree. Thanks for wise advice

There is enough slack on the cables however it appears that some cables are coming from the back of the unit as well. About qualifications dont have but have enough experience i think.

This is the pic, appologize for the 90degrees turn. The rcd box has to be horizontaly around 25cm in order to get the cables coming up out of the way for the gas meter

I mean the whole box like this: http://electricalguys.co.uk/wylex-10way-high-integrity-consumer-unit-nhrs44204.html?gclid=CJHUi5b1nMsCFVG6GwodwOYOrg I should have said "consumer unit"

Hi my gas meter is going to be moved in order to leave room for a washroom under the stairs. SGN has agreed to move it less than a metre from its current position but the RCD box has to be moved slightly to the right (around 20cm) in order to comply with the 150mm clearance. Is this something I...

Hi all, Our kitchen extension is nearly finished and we have been quoted £300 for pumping mineral wool in a cavity wall around 3x3 metres. The other wall is internal so it does not need insulation. Does it sound reasonable in Hampshire?

Hi all, We are building an extension to our kitchen which will extend about two metres into the garden. The builder inspector noticed that there is a sewage pipe running under the garden (there is a cast iron covering a bit of it). He now wants to know where this pipe goes so he is kind of...

Hi all, I have been given 5 weeks minimum by SGN to move my gas meter outside at a cost of around £800. I would apreciate some expert advice please. We are building a bathroom under the stairs so we need the gas meter out of the way as quickly as possible. The picture below shows my gas meter...

SGN quotes me around £500 to move the meter outside. Does any one knows if they are the only ones authorised to do this job? or can i shop around?

Yes this is exactly what i mean thanks. I did not find it in the toolstation or screwfix website but found them in Maplins an hour ago. I will put it back tonight.

Hi thanks for all your advice. I think you are right I need to replace the cable. How do I carry the insulation test? I have a tester but I am unsure how to do the test. The RCD fuse also blowed up (the water tanks is in energy 7 and has got an independent fused RCD box downstairs. The fuse is...

Hi the clables that go into the immersion heater are brown and blue (the blue one it looks green because of the burning) At the moment the brown goes into the thermostat and the blue to the other pin. The yellow-green goes to earth. None of the cables were traped I do not know about the rating...

I keep in touch with the owner and he confirmed it has happened before

Hi no the damaged cable is attached to one of the terminals on the heater (the other one goes to the thermostat). The yellow and green is connected to earth correctly. I just moved into the place and found the installation like this. Thanks!

Hi all, I am having the same problem from time to time with the connections to my hot water cilinder immersion heater The cable attached to the pin seem to get burned over time with no apparent reason (see pic). This time the cable got detached from the immersion connector. Any one has got any...

Hi all, I need to replace my hot water cilinder switch. Do i need one with a fuse or can i use a normal unfused one? Currently i have one with a red led light but i do not think it is fused. Thanks!

Interesting. Thanks

Dear all, We are planning to install a bathroom under the stairs but the gas meter is a bit in the way and we would like to get it moved about a meter away from its current position. I assume it has to be done by British Gas? Or can it be done by anyone with a gas safety certificate?

What I like about vinyl is that you can chose within a wide range of designs and give a "funky" touch to the shed. Felt is boring, probably better but boring.

Mmmm not sure if I want to risk leaks ...I may stick with just felt and no window. Thanks anayway
