Ok firstly let me advise on the current layout of the 1st floor from front to back. The house is a fairly standard 3 bed terrace property which has a Front Bedroom, then a long Landing leading to a Middle Bedroom, then the Bathroom then the Back Bedroom. Currently, there is a single gang...

I am looking to have a 2 gang light switch fitted on my Landing close to my Bathroom which is towards the rear of my house. One of the switches will turn the Bathroom light on and off and the other will turn the Landing light on and off. There will also be another light switch outside the...

Thanks for taking the time to respond. I've now managed to twist the body of the inlet valve and have lowered it down. It was all a bit tight inside the cistern but I lowered the body of the inlet valve by about half an inch each time and then refilled the cistern but the water was continuing...

Just to clarify, its not filling continuously. Once the water level reaches the top of the overflow pipe, the cistern keeps filling for a minute or two and then the water does cut-off so that the cistern stops filling. The water trickles into the pan until the level in the cistern gets down to...

Water is filling-up too high in the cistern and is then running into the overflow pipe on the flush valve. I assume I need to make an adjustment on the inlet valve to cut-off the water supply before it gets too high in the cistern but how do I do it?

Can you clarify this. I am aware that I need to drop the pressure before I remove and replace the defective schrader valve. With the boiler pressure dropped (reading the pressure gauge on the bolier), once I have the new valve fitted, do i then recharge the pressure on the expansion vessel...

Just ordered a valve removal tool and replacement valve off t'internet (y)

Thanks for your reply. Just so i am sure what actually needs to be removed, is it a) just the little brass insert inside the circular valve housing ie the thing that you press in to let the air out or is it b) the whole unit that connects to the top of the vessel?

I have a Main Combi 24 which was working fine up until a couple of days ago when I noticed that the pressure gauge reading had dropped to zero! I checked for leaks and there were none that I could see. I also checked the PRV outside and it was bone dry. I topped the system up to 1.5 bar via the...

Apologies for the delay in getting the photo below which shows the underside of the boiler. The boiler is connected via a plug at the moment, but it will eventually be wired into a spur unit. The original cable from the damaged room stat appears to have been completely removed.

Unfortunatley, I'm no longer in contact with the people who did the work for me...... Long story! Other than the mains cable, there isn't any other cabling that I can see coming out from underneath the boiler but I suppose he could have chopped the cable back leaving it still connected at the...

Sorry, just to clarify, I had other people working in the house and it was them who damaged the room thermostat. The guy had already removed it and said that the boiler would still work without a stat being fitted to it. I am not sure if he completely removed the cable at the boiler end or just...

I have a Vaillant ecoTEC pro 28. The house that it is in has undergone some recent refurbishment. The boiler was tested before the work started and was working fine. The only thing that is different now is that the original room thermostat is no longer present as it was damaged during the work...

I have solid floor in the Kitchen/Diner in a 1900's terrace house which I am refurbishing. The existing floor is out of level, sloping by about 45mm over its length from front to back. The floor had timber floorboards laid directly onto the original concrete and the floorboards have now been...

Why unfortunate?

No, they are just normal socket outlets and are there to plug anything into

He is. He has put a ring main in but has also put a separate radial circuit in for a couple of sockets on the same floor. I thought this seemed odd as I just expected all of the new sockets to be on a ring main. If it complies though, then I do not have an arguement but I just thought i'd ask -...

I am having a complete new rewire carried-out in a residential property. Regarding the installation of the new sockets, I have two questions: i) is it compliant to have any of the new sockets on a radial circuit fed from the board rather than on a ring main and ii) is it compliant to have any...

I have an AEG 79852G Gas Hob which is shown below In the off position, all indicator lights above the control knobs should switch off however, you might just be able to see from the photo that the 2nd one from the right hand side does not? I have removed the control knobs and the...
