Thanks sparkymarka, Do you ever work over the border in North Derbyshire, could with quote!

Hi, My alarm activated at 4 am a couple of mornings ago. It is four and a half years old. The alarm is connected to the same switch as the outside light, the bulb went and tripped the RCD, am I right in thinking that the reason it activated is because the battery is flat? Had a power cut...

Oooops

My Veritas 8 alarm activated at 4.am a couple of days ago after working faultlessly for 4 years. The tamper light was flashing. I managed to stop it by entering my code but it continued to go off every 15 minutes until the battery was flat. Didn't have a clue what to do, and my neighbour...

When the electrician hard wired he replaced the 1.5 cable that came with the oven for 6ml, and now the oven smells like a very hot oil had to open window and door.

Unplugged the oven and stopped using it. Electrician called and said the oven should be fine wired to a fixed 13 amp spur with omnipolar circuit breaker as installation instructions stated. I told him I had only used the pyrolytic cleaner 3 times and the insulation in the plug had melted...

Apparently this oven needs to be hard wired regardless of Smegs electrical installation instructions that it could be a fixed connection or a 13amp plug as long as adaptors and shunts are avoided. This oven is rated on the specs. as 13 amps. Bosch pyrolytic ovens are rated 16 amps. Lesson...

Not really, the hob is on the opposite wall and the oven is on the same side of the kitchen as the RCD so I suppose it would be easier to hardwire the oven. Thanks knowall intended to buy a new plug and socket not hopefull though.

I have a Smeg 220-240v Pyrolytic single oven with a connected load of 3k. The installation instructions state that if a fixed connection is used fit the powerline with an omnipolar circuit-breaker. If a plug and socket connection are used avoid the use of adapters and shunts as this may cause...

Thankyou Xenon, I agree I won't be paying £3000. It is a busy business they do a lot of commercial buildings I think they have over quoted because they are not really interested. The roofer who quoted £1400 wouldn't leave the existing felt on he quoted for new vapour barrier and...

Hi everyone, I have a flat roof extension to the rear of my house, external wall measurements are 4.50m x 3.50m with one upstand to original building. Existing decking boards are good so is the felt considering it is 18 years old. No leaks. I require new UPVC fascia's the original wood...

Thanks, I did wonder about that.

I have a flat roof which a builder inspected a couple of weeks ago and declared ok for probably another 10 years. However, the wooden fascia boards are rotting on the corners and I would like them replaced with upvc and at the same time a warm deck installation. The builder didn't seem...

Thanks dann09 Builder #2 came today very puctual, spent a good 30 mins inspecting the bay. Nothing wrong with lead or boards in fact there is no leak above the bay, the reason for the small damp patch in the centre of the bay that is showing indoors is simply because the silicone seal...

Actually the roofer called it rubber so it was EPDM.

Yes they are upvc windows, it is an exposed bow window, semi detached with hip roof. The windows finish directly under the roofline. The fascia starts at the corner of my neighbours house and goes straight across the back of the two windows to the opposite corner on mine with a straight joint...

Well well well, banning all sheet lead applications. Not sure what you mean by fascia mitres the bay protrudes beyond the fascia which is straight across and is upva so are the windows. Thanks

I have a five section bow window with leaded roof. Water is getting between the lead and the wooden boards, as the lead is not damaged it is assumed to be getting in as a result of damaged felt allowing the water to bypass gutter (which means when the fascia and soffits were replaced years...

Well now, 007 is just the licence no: to kill, so there could be loads of them out there, you see my 007 wasn't called Mr Bond. Any how, Napit say it is not necessary to have ip rated downlights in bathrooms if the lights are GU10 LED. It is possible that some moisture is getting in there...
