You can get a polymer sand which sets up like glue. Might be worth a try?

Technically, they need to be fixed as @JohnW2 said, but I've seen similar by professional electricians behind kitchens. I'd leave them.

You mix the hot with the cold in the bath?

The other option would be to turn up the temperature so you can use less hot and more cold. I think most immersions can go up to 80 degrees?

Like @robinbanks says I would run a bead of adhesive foam along the packed stud and then screw the board as usual.

How about a 100x65 PCC lintel vertically into the space with a 100x50 oak beam in front? Or a 100 X 60 box section: https://shop.buyabeam.com/suppliers/baker-steel-trading/rectangular-box-section/Rectangular-Box-Section-S235/products/100-x-60-x-6-rhs

If you have room you can use foam to glue on 25mm insulation and then 9.5mm plasterboard.

Could you not buy some insulated spade crimps and crimp them directly to the mains cable? https://images.app.goo.gl/VJ8mRTiDGBHp1ZrG6

Gary What tools do you have? My suspicion is that since you're asking you probably don't have the right ones (eg a mahoosive bandsaw or radial arm saw). You can use a circular saw to cut 100mm from the front of the worktop but as big all says it'll be too thick as a normal upstand is 12mm ish...

I would build a base using a sheet of 25mm WBP ply screwed into 3" fence posts laid flat. If you want to go the hardcore /concrete route then minimum 100mm concrete. Ram down the hardcore with a sledgehammer. The concrete will stay on top.

If the joints don't line up with joists then you need to either attach noggins behind or remove the boards and trim. They must have wood behind or they'll crack.

Medium oak possibly?

How do I know if the pump is old enough to be used with the original PCB? On eBay they are just shown as CDI pumps. Am I just looking for one that's not labelled as ERP?

That's a good idea, forgot about fixed price repairs!

Thanks @gazfen so you would replace both? Do you think my estimate of £500 is about right? I'm just a bit concerned that I do this and then next month the hex goes or something like that.

Hi Does anyone know the FD numbers that require a PCB upgrade with a pump replacement on a 30 CDI? My plumber says the pump has a slow leak on the casing. He explained certain FD numbers needed a PCB replacement with the new pump and was supposed to get back to me with a quote but is now on...

Sounds like it might be easier to go for a 750 bucket rather than scraping trench walls, especially if clay and going to 2m. But any thoughts on my question?

Just checked. It's fine.

No my plasterers have always preferred tapered edge for skimming too. No chance of scrim showing through. No extra costs, the first coat just goes on a bit thicker at the edges.

I have a very similar Bosch Series 4 oven. It came with bare wire ends as shown. This turned out to be helpful as the electrician wanted the oven on a plug/socket in an adjacent cupboard rather than hardwired (easier for testing apparently) so I needed only to drill an 8mm hole for the flex and...
