Errrmmmm........what tank? :lol: :lol: Only tank am aware of is the hot water tank in the loft. :?

In the past few days we've had two pipes which were connected to the heating system but sticking through the kitchen ceiling capped off and a radiator taken off the wall then refitted for the plasterer. Just wondering if we have to manually refill the system to replace lost water or if it does...

The socket was a touch loose. So might be worth checking for loose cables. I did notice there were two switches on the back of the unit with IIRC 8 or 16, or maybe it was 10 & 16. :? Ring any bells?

We have an old back boiler system in our house, and recently had the controls for it moved from one wall to another wall in the kitchen. All was fine until the other day when I noticed the timer is not moving anymore. :? It's a Landis Staefa timer which has been in around 10 years. It has the...

Electrician fitted a 20A radial for it using 6mm cable this morning. Kitchen's bare and ceiling was down so fairly easy from what I saw.

It's on the side, hidden by the packaging. :lol: 4.4kW is what it's rated at. What kind of circuit should this be connected to??

We've bought a Bosch double oven for our new kitchen and the installation instructions make no mention of how much power it uses. Anyone have any idea how much power this oven uses? Can't see a sticker with the power requirements on the outside of the oven either. ...

We're currently in the process of having our kitchen and dining room knocked into one and currently looking at ideas for flooring. Considered tiling it, but there's these old what appear to be vinyl tiles on the concrete floor, which have been down since the house was built in the 1950's and I...

The electrician came around tonight. I told him exactly what I wanted and what not and he advised me what was best. He also looked at the main circuit board(or whatever it's called) where all of our trip switches are :? He recommended I have that changed at some point, talking all technical on...

Went to a lighting store earlier on. Saw a fitting that we really liked. Used 6x40W G9 bulbs though, which were attached to three wavey arms. Only thing is they were £130 each, and I thought we might need two though I'm not sure. Looked online and can't find anything similar to it either nor is...

Hi Ed.......I'm totally at a loss as to what to do tbh. I just wanted to cover all angles before making a decision. I'm not too sure how much those square recessed lights with the 2D bulbs in them give off, and would be prepared to go with something like that but don't know how many I'd need...

Anyone know what those CFL GU10 bulbs are like??

They look really cool!!! But I don't think I can justify £600 on say four of them. :oops: If I were to install downlights, how many would be needed then? I really don't know what to do now. Willing to spend upto £250 now on lighting if they look decent, but finding it hard to find anything...

Okay, so I'm looking towards fluorescent lighting now. Maybe something like this? http://www.thelightingsuperstore.co.uk/product.asp?productid=35399 How many of those do you think I need in a kitchen of that size? Or there's this which I like...

That's exactly what the sparkie said!! :lol: But I thought he was just trying to wriggle out of the faff on installing them!! Was looking to pay around £150 for the downlights and bulbs, so what could I get that would adequately light a room of this size? Ideally something that doesn't...

I'm after some downlights for our new kitchen. And have opted for mains voltage GU10's. Just wondering how many is an ideal amout for a 4.7m x 3.4m kitchen? Was thinking 8 might be sufficient but I'm not sure. I'm going to buy 4 or 5 Exergi LED bulbs and use them, and have halogens in the rest...

So if he says it's £80 or so extra on top of the £400 or so he quoted, would that be it? i.e I wouldn't have to pay extra for someone else to certify the work? Sorry for sounding dumb.........just I know absolutely nowt about these things. :oops: Also, there's already an electric oven...

:lol: I did..........he said something about it costing an extra £80 or something, which I wasn't sure about at the time i.e was he trying to rip me off or just put me off from asking him! :? There's a wall coming out in the kitchen, which has two double sockets in it, an oven outlet...

Hi all. I'm soon to be getting a new kitchen fitted and my mate, who is an electrician for the local council will be doing the work of moving the sockets around for the oven and hob and installing some mains voltage downlights. What I'm wondering is, he is Part P certified through work. But will...
