This thread has somewhat proved that apparently there is no official correct way of doing this and therefore it is open to interpretation to the individual. Based on the helpful feedback received here we have decide that as a company we will make it our own rule that in cases of failed EICR's...

Thanks for your help all.

Hi Guys, Wondering if any NICEIC registered engineers (or anyone who isn't but is ofay with the regulations) might be able to help.. I work for a small property maintenance company who use contractors for specialist trades, electricians being one of them.. I am having problems with...

Hi There, no it is literally plugged in to the front... Armoured cable goes into a junction box on the wall than then connects to a new internal cable that comes through the wall and then has a plug on the end that literally plugs into the socket.

The armored cable is approx 8 meters long. Currently feeds directly into a triple socket. Sockets will be for nothing in particular really.. Maybe charging a phone, that sort of thing. Don't have the panel heater yet so open to suggestion, but it won't be anything too powerful.

Hi All, After some advice if I may regarding taking power to my existing outbuilding.. I already have power to the shed, but it is done a very crude fashion and I am now looking to do the job properly. At present I have an armored cable essentially plugged into a kitchen socket, taken out...

Hi Guys, Just a quick message to say thank you all very much for your help! I have now changed all plumbing back to the original 15mm as it should have been and fitted my new pump. New pump probably the same sort of pressure as my old Salamander, but way quieter so that is a result! Things...

Hot water cyninder out... Ths smaller 15mm pipe coming off goes straight down to the pump

Old pump and new pump.... New pump sat in new home waiting for me to connect to...

Hi Guys, thanks for the heads up on the isolation valves.... they were actually fitted by a plumber the last time the pump died as it actually split and flooded the house! The other two times the pump has died it's been a gradual process with it sounding worse and worse and eventually just...

Hi Andy, That is the pump I now have to go in... Hoping through a combination of taking the pipework back to 15mm and fitting the new pump I will resolve all problems... Ps - here is the cylinder stat that doesn't feel as though it should even be able to move...

Bristol indeed! Anyone know why the dial on my tank thermostat would be stuck stiff? Literally feels as though it isn't meant to move...? Going to renew the pipework this morning, so any further advice very welcome. Thanks again all

So you don't think the sudden change in pipe diameter would have been causing an issue then? There's me thinking I had cracked the case! Haha

Hi Guys, After a bit of a advice if I may... I have a gravity fed thermostatic shower with a salamander pump giving the shower some extra 'umph'.. Now we have always had problems with this shower from the day we moved in! In fact, in 6 years we have been through 3 pumps! Something clearly isn't...

So.... Did we have a definitive answer on the best way to do this guys?

Hi Guys, I went with a 9mm MDF board in the end. Gave me a nice blend of being a good, durable material and also being relatively inexpensive at £10 a sheet. Have already fit 1 wall using this board ans plan to fit the other 3 soon.

Hi Guys, was wondering if anyone might be able to suggest an alternative to plasterboard to be used on the internal walls of a small outbuilding I am in the process of building? The structure is timber framed and the material will be secured to studs as you would with plasterboard. I was all...

Hi All, After a bit of advice if I may... I am about half way through building a timber frame shed / outbuilding in my garden. I have decided that I would like some sort of electrical connection in the shed, ideally a single socket and a single fixed light. Am I right in thinking that I...

Hi All, Wondered if someone would be able to help me out with the above? I am in the process of building a basic outbuilding in my garden. The building is a timber framed built on a timber raised deck type base. I had purchased some very cheap second hand UPVC windows from Ebay with the...

Hi There! Yes, that absolutely would work for me given the space I have to play with. To be honest, I will finalize the dimensions a little further down the line to ensure it suits my needs. For now, it is the actual planning / building of the thing I want to make sure I get right.
