Thanks very much noseall. Much appreciated. Bonce

Hello, Sorry if this is answered anywhere else but I looked for several posts and could never tell if people were talking about the point I'll describe as, at bottom of RSJ/ top of padstone, or at the point I'll describe as bottom of padstone/brick wall below. I just want to know is it...

Many thanks for that. I did look for concrete lintels at Wickes as someone had told me a lintel is the usual method, but they only seemed to have 65 depth ones, no doubt the local building suppliers will have one though. Thanks Again!

Hello, Have had some calcs done for removal of load bearing wall with RSJ resting on padstone. The padstone is to be 100(w) * 150(d) *300(l). Will a dense concrete block, the type that can be bought in all common diy stores suffice for this? Not doing myself but am interested. Thanks

I currently have a central heating system which consist of 8mm micro bore pipes. The heating system has never really seemed to get very hot or put out a lot of heat. Essentially I have 4 radiators downstairs and the same up which are all run to with the micro bore pipes. I realise if...

Thanks regsmyth and sorry about the length of the post!! Yeah I thought when I got home last night that I should have taken some pics, but my sister is in Nottingham and she aint got a digital camera. I suppose 150mm for the lintel would be do-able in a brick and a half but the bricks...

Hello, I am after a bit of advice. If anyone can spare the time it would be appreciated. Sister is wanting to move a door into an understairs cupboard. it already has a door from the kitchen (but its in a completely inadequate position, meaning they can not use it with the kitchen layout...

Ban all Sheds, I couldn't possibly say but there is an 'and' in the name and a Q and B. Thanks all again, from me (and my sister)!

Thanks all. I was just surprised by fitting costs they were quotoing for things like electrics etc. Basically kitchen iteslf maybe 3K but total price 6.5k - seems a lot and they were quoting the electrics as big portion of that. thanks again much appreciated.

Thanks all. Good news sister isn't comitted with the DIY fitters yet, but we did want to know whether they could just cut in to an existing circuit without updating that circuit to the 17th/part P but from what has been said the answer seems to be no to this. If they did nothing at all...

Moderators, Sorry managed to post this in plumbing and central heating unwittingly but could not determine how to move it,can you help out please, thanks. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- My sister and husband are looking at having their kitchen...

My sister and husband are looking at having their kitchen redone through one of the big DIY stores (fitting as well). They have an old style CU - wired fuses etc. I think 3 total, one for downstairs sockets, 1 lights and 1 upstairs sockets, I think. Their kitchen has a gas only cooker...

Thanks for reply twgas. Could you give recomendations of what I should use? or how you would do it? If I was to do as in the above diagrams I would need to make the connections somewhere for the 5 core flex. I just assumed something like a wiring centre/JB would be the norm. I'm not...

Sorry if this is an obvious question but has anyone used one of the Honeywell wiring centres in the above diagrams? Do they have cable clips and push fit connectors? I am asking with respect to accessability. Shouldn't all junction boxers now be accessible? I was intending to place mine...

I was reading this post with interest after finding the following document. http://www.voltimum.co.uk/news/9234//Designing-to-the-17th-Edition.html Near the end it has a section entitled 'Supplying the fire detection and alarm circuit' . It seems to suggest with battery back up that...

Thanks once again Taylortwocities.

I have been reading other posts with interest about central heating control centres and the use of 5 core flex but am unsure whether it is permissable/ a good idea to use 5 core flex between the control centre and the controller and what the standard colours are i.e. what is usually used for...

Thanks for that Taylortwocities, don't know why the link didn't work but I have amended above, but need to click through to get to the instruction manual. And yes I can only control the boiler on off and the pump for the central heating system i.e. can have DHW on its own but not heating on...
