So basically I have two choices - get an electrician to do it or get it inspected by local authority?

Hi all, I am refitting my bathroom from scratch and will be putting a 1m square mirror on the wall over the bath central to a tiled wall. This will be attached to 6mm WBP using mirror adhesive then onto the wall. I have seen these self-adhesive demisting pads and want to fit one to enable...

Thanks mate, thought as much, bloody novices eh? :lol: I was being over cautious, I cut the plaster back and found a push fit socket. Pulled out the brass pipe and chrome pipe fits in there nice and snug :roll: Cheers all, Glen

I have just replaced the sink in our en-suite and have replaced the brass bottle trap for a chrome one. The previous brass waste pipe goes into the wall and to make it easier I want to join the chrome 32mm pipe to that (behind the concealer and recessed into the wall a bit). I thought I could...

http://www.flickr.com/photos/95171218@N00/90618935/ This is the way I thought I could plumb this in. With the jets on a seperate 'tap' to the overhead maybe I could adjust the amount I turn the overhead 'tap' on to get the right flow? With this configuration I thought that I have the choice...

Bloody hell, I thought I was clever :? I think I'm not quite getting what you mean, can you help further? I will be running a fixed head shower with 46x0.5 mm (approx) holes mounted at standard height. I am flexible a to what body jets I install, obviously if ones with fewer/smaller holes will...

Thanks guys, bloody hell..can of worms time then. So if I've got this straight in my head, you install a cold tank and a cylinder for the hot storage. The Combi heats the water for the hot storage and then you use this water to supply the shower only? Do you use a pump on the shower feeds? I...

I understood the responses but my reply was because they could have offered further advice in the way that Paul and Nige have (thanks to you both). I didn't realise you could have a DHW Cylinder on a combi, I thought it was either combi or std and tanks. Off I go to google that option...

Have a rethink! What options do I have from those reponses? a) Don't do it b) Don't do it!! Seriously though is this to do with the boiler? I could always buy a better boiler if it will work on another. I want to stick with Combi though. Any suggestions? The other thing, I take it the body...

I forgot to mention I will only be using one bathroom at a time. Can I check the flow rate by filling a water bottle and timing it? Also, is the flow rate more important than pressure then?

Hi all, 1st question on here so please be gentle! (For a wee while anyway) I am gutting and refitting the en-suite and bathroom and want to install 2 concealed body jets and a fixed shower head over the bath in each. I want to run these using triple thermostatic mixers (Hudson Reed) with...

The mains supply is via overhead cable. House is circa 1960's with what I believe to be the original fuse box - push in 2 pronged fuse, one for high amperage stuff one for ring main and one for lighting. So, if I need an earthing rod, what do you connect the cable from the rod to? ie the...

Thanks for all the replies. I take it the 'Fix' for this is probably to get a proper earth (rod or whatever) installed. What causes the earth leakage? I run about 6 PC's, quite a bit of AV kit, and other bits and pieces. Just in case I put it across wrongly, the main was reconnected after...

Thanks Spark, I live in Essex. I'll ask around for some recommendations.

**pressed submit twice by mistake**

Thanks for the input, I suspected as much. So what should this cost and what would be involved?

I am a bit worried about my house electrics. When my plumber friend fitted a new central heating/hot water on demand arrangement a while back he had to cut the main water pipe. Once cut he noticed a spark across the joint and received a shock from it. Putting a meter across the gap it showed...
