Thank you. So maybe the conversation I should be having with the installer should include duscussing having an additional separate CU for this and including a surge protector.

Thank you. Not sure if these photos help. The incoming tails are inside the stud wall and enter that square horizontal conduit. They then connect in to the henley type connectors then each split goes back into the wall and down to each CU. The right CU has spares and is shown below. Doing...

Thanks. The only cabling currently going to the garage is a ring for sockets and a lighting circuit so nothing that will do. So it will need an additional circuit. I am guessing that a new CU might be required as you say. If so - I assume it would be sensible to add surge protection in that...

I know. I was just hoping to do some basic learning before hand.

Hi, To start with, I will be getting a qualified professional to install my EV charger. However, in preparation, there are some things that I would like to understand a bit about before engaging someone to do this work. My home was fully rewired in 2019 and hasnt been touched since so is a...

Hi, I have four UFH zones, each with a wired thermostat (230V). I would like to have app control over the thermostats, but prefer to reuse the existing wired connections. Can anyone suggest a good option for replacement thermostats? Thanks and regards

Thank you. I was hoping to stay away from using any abrasive products. How much damage can these do if used only once? You mention a non-abrasive cream cleaner - any specific product recommendations?

Hi, I am really struggling to get some stains off my white uPVC window frames (UK). I attach a picture. This problem is on the bottom frames where the rain water runs off the window pane. I have tried a number of products - - HG uPVC cleaner - Sandtex Trade -PVC cleaner - No Nonsense...

I am hoping someone can help with some information about the apps used with start TRVs on radiators. Can you create and control zones of multiple radiators? e.g. where a room has three radiators and I want to control the room, or if I want to control one room and a hallway together. I want to...

Thank you. The laminate is (as far as I can tell) is laid on top of a concrete floor and definitely goes under the skirting. Not removing the skirtings would be my preferred option, but how would I get the final line of flooring laid as I am not sure how I would get this under the skirting on...

Thank you. So I assume that I would then need new skirting, and slide this behind the pipes? I need to check, but I hope the skirting is not glued on or it might be a nightmare to remove any of it.

Hi, I am wanting to replace the laminate flooring in a room, however, it looks like the flooring was laid before the skirtings and the radiator pipes are right against the skirting. There is a radiator on the other side of the room with a similar problem so can't really just slide the flooring...

I was thinking more og inhaling it rather than it exploding.

We actually carry a CP detector when travelling on holiday.

Thank you for this. I appreciate that gas has a strong smell - but was thinking what might happen while asleep - would the odour waken someone up?

Hi, I am not sure if I am posting in the right forum. I have natural gas (boiler and fire) and have the needed CO detectors installed. This got me thinking as to why we don't install gas detectors? Will CO detectors pick up leaking natural gas - I didnt think so. Can some one help with my...

Thank you. Should I use a Forstner or a flat wood bit? Or hole saw? The timber is 69mm thick so need to go to a depth of 40ish mm.

Hi, I am joining some timber worktops using the normal tie rods. However, because I only need to do a couple I am not purchasing a jig. I plan to route the straight line for the bar; and then drill the wide holes at each end to hold the fasteners (the end dumbells). What diameter should...

Do the likes of Hive, Nest or Tado do what I need?
