Hello, Made a bit of a mess when getting rid of air in a radiator. Worcester Combi boiler now reads 0.9 bar when heating is off and 1.8 when on. Last week i put the pressure back to 1.5 via loop. When i did this the heating had been off 1 hour. Can't find a leak anywhere

where can i get hold of one? i have a manual override mechanism in my door but a crank handle would make it easier to use. looked everywhere on the net but cannot find one

I did and the funny thing is that all the boxes are thicked with no Xs but the comments are to have a rewire done due to the age of the existing installation and the fact that stuff has been added wired at different stages over the years :?:

there already is an rcd protected cu on the old system which we got in the first week we lived in the house for our protection. i've had two electricians in and they both say a rewire is needed since there is black rubber wire in places and the some kitchen sockets were connected to a cooker...

I assume the temp stuff is RCD protected...

Hi all, We are having a rewire very soon. The elec said that we will have power during the job as we are stopping in the house. Is this quite common? I originally thought that all the old installations were removed hence you would be left without power. What do you guys do when a customer...

oh yes, live tails flapping about when sat on the toilet!! A tail may flap onto something and may hurt a little bit, a bit like Frank Gallagher in Shameless... I think that service fuse needs to go :wink:

will ask next week. I thought of replacing the CU because it was not certified to BC by vendors. I'll have a chat with him to discuss this. yes there there is a cover sheet for the boards but i am planning on making a better one. I would like to install a sink in the cloakroom (to the...

it is a rewire. board not certified properly (to BC) but tested to bs7671 so i have requested to have it replaced anyway so thats why i think service fuse needs to come out. Besides I have asked to have the CU moved to a higher level so tails will have to come out. You don't seem...

I am posting a few pics of the existing layout in the house i have recently purchased. I'd like your opinion on the status of the equipment. I notice that the service fuse box has screws (and seals) missing. As mentioned in a previous thread I am looking to have some work carried out in my...

Hello lectrician, I have work planned in two weeks time and UU have a four week waiting list to fit a switch. Either the spark decides to work live (which i assume is illegal) or I have no option but to call off the job. I don't want to pay a lot of money for something that may not be...

Thanks John. I have one of those but it is on the non RCS side of my MEN CU. :cry: Wish I had a separate one like on your pic.

you got me wrong here. I am reluctant to tender 4000 pounds worth of work if our supply is not up to standard. Having to wait over one month for a supplier to install a switch AFTER agreeing a date with a contractor does not seem a good idea hence why I asked the question. Now I will have to...

Hi all, Could someone tell me how does an isolator switch look like. I have to commission some work in my house (rewire) but before doing so I need to know if my supply has one. Between the meter and the CU there is only wire. Before the meter there is a black box but from the outside i...

Hello, We'd like to have a new bathroom. There are two existing layers of tiles which I want to see removed. How much money in percentage would it save me if I ripped out these tiles myself and got someone to put the new ones in (rather than get a professional getting the two layers out...

Thanks. I have the external loop with two valves. What should I use to open the turn the screw on the valve? I don't want to break it. Is there a key I can buy?

When using the loop to put pressure back in the boiler do I have to switch off the boiler?

Manchester. Btw the filing loop is external I think (flexi pipe is not in the boiler I mean). I am looking for a reliable Corgi guy btw. :) Round here it's three week waiting list and I need my boiler serviced. It is currently running at 0.6 bar after i bled radiator :cry:

Hi all, Where can I find the key used to open the filling loop on a Worcester Combi 28SI boiler? I live in the North West.

Hi, I've been looking for our boundary stop tap. There is a little manhole cover kind of V shaped on the footpath outside the property. It has a big "W" with "ductile" written under the W. Is this phone, electrics or gas stuff or could it be the boundary stop tap?
