Thanks for all the useful answers :). The work is being done by a mate who is Corgi registered. His day job is repairing appliances, not fitting them. It has been years since he fitted anything. I know some on here will say he shouldn't be doing it if he hasn't got the experience but as long...

My god, why can't people just answer a simple question instead of constantly giving stupid comments? Who said anything about doing it myself?

Hello All, I need to upgrade my gas supply pipe from 22mm to 28mm for approx 8 mtrs from the meter before reducing back to 22mm. If the first few inches of supply pipe from the meter are in 22mm would this cause a bottle neck restriction i.e. 22mm-->28mm-->22mm? TIA J

That sounds very expensive. Why not just use TRVs?

Anyone :?:

Hello All, I have a WB 30CDi System boiler and an unvented tank which I am trying to work out the electrics for. The 30CDi doesn't have the optional diverter valve kit fitted. There is a dual thermostat, 2 x 2 port valves, and timer/room stat to be wired in. Ideally I'd like to use a...

Hello all, I'd like to fit a wireless room stat but would like a bit of advice first. We have a wireless internet connection which went down if the microwave was used in the kitchen due to interference. We had to move the router but have since been told that any wireless product will...

Hello All, We are considering installing a GW Ultrapower 170 system store. Has any one had any experience with this product, good or bad? Also, will it provide a mains pressure shower? Thanks, J

Hi, I would like to links 3 300W PIR security lights in series. Would this be possible? Or would linking cause them to dim? Does this look right? MAIN RING<--T+E-->FCU 13A<--ARCTIC T+E-->PIR<--ARCTIC T+E-->PIR<--ARCTIC T+E-->PIR TIA, Jim

Hello All, Simple question. Is solvent weld conduit ok to use externally, secured to a fence/wall? TIA, Jim

I'm sure you're right. Every house in the UK with an outside light or other electrical appliance has to be notified? What happens if it's not? I find it hard to believe everyone declares it.

Thanks for the repies guys. Think I'm getting there now (can you tell electrics isn't my trade, lol). You mention it being notifiable. What makes it notifiable? Would a single security light also be notifiable? Or is it the amount of lights etc? Cheers again, jim

Internally gas pipes should be a minimum of 25mm from any electrical cable, 150mm from any outlet not sure about externally.

Hello All, I am planning to run a spur from a socket to the shed to supply an external socket (IP65) over a distance of approx 15 metres. Is this feasable or should it be on a separate circuit? Also, we will be putting 5-6 lights in the garden. Having had solar powered ones before which...

Don't need a storage combi but I want to get the best one out of the 2. It's only £100 difference between them so cost is irrelevant. TIA

Hello All, I am about to change my current, aging Baxi BBU with a new condensing combi boiler. I am torn between these two. Anyone had any experiences with either? Good/bad reports? Suggestions? Many thanks, Jim

2 bedrooms and an en suite. No basement but the shed idea is growing on me :lol:.

Unfortunately lowering the ceiling is a no-goer. It's a cottage so only has 7ft ceilings. The apex of the rafters is approx 210cm at the moment. So it would mean lowering by too much :(. Jim

Thanks for the advice. It was brought to light when the plans were drawn. We haven't had them finalised yet, just recieved the first drafts for approval/ammendment. The architect has said it would be tight but possible with the current roof. Looking at the plans I'd only be able to walk...

Hello all, We have had plans made up to convert our loft in to a large bedroom. Unfortunately, we have a ceiling height problem, ie not enough! Adding dormers will add some head room but not enough. The pitch of the roof is too shallow. Is it feasable to raise the height of the whole...
