Hello, I am replacing an old double electric oven with a slightly smaller single oven. The old one was hard wired using 40amp cable to a switch box in an adjoining cupboard. The new oven appears to come with a 13 amp cable (without plug). I am assuming this new oven will need to be fused at...

Thank you everyone for your replies. I’ve now managed to fit my radiator and it is working just fine with no leaks that I can see. I avoided having to drain down the system by tying up the ballcock in the expansion tank, pushing a wine cork into the vent pipe and stuffing a carrot in the 15mm...

Good morning, Can anyone recommend a good jigsaw (and blades) for cutting holes for hob and sink in 40mm laminate-on-chipboard worktop. Bear in mind this is a one-off job so I don’t really want to be spending a ton of money on something I may never use again. Thank you.

Thank you for your reply EricMark and sorry for my belated response. Interested in your flexible hoses option but not too sure how this would work as I would need to be able to connect both ends. Basically, with my old rad gone, there are the two copper pipes left poking out of the floor with...

Thank you for the reply. At the moment, the switch feeds both ceramic hob and double oven via two heavy duty cables (one for each). Assuming I leave the hob’s cable as is, are you saying I can run a new 13amp cable from this switch (in place of the oven’s old heavy duty cable) to a new 13amp...

Hi peeps, I’m re-vamping my kitchen and I’m looking to replace my old double oven with a new single oven. The old oven was hard-wired in but I’m not sure whether the new one (awaiting delivery) has to be hard-wired too. If it turns out that the new oven comes with a 13 amp plug on it (there are...

Thank you John. I’ll certainly think about what you’ve told me. All the best, Keith

I’m no expert but it’s an old-fashioned system, vented with header tank I’m pretty sure. Oil boiler as I live in the countryside and no gas around here. The boiler is a Grant Vortex, external).

Basically, the old radiator was taken away and the valves either side closed - and left closed - 20 years ago. This was because of installing a longer run of cupboards in a small galley kitchen so no longer any room for a wide rad like before. A small electric heater was installed at the other...

Hello, I’m new to this forum so hope my question is reasonable. I want to install a new radiator in place of an older wider one in pretty much the same position. The pipework for the old radiator is still in place and shut off even though the old rad was removed years ago. Question is, can I...
