This is going to have you rolling about :lol: :lol: :lol: details of a c/m mishap On saturday MR X .XXXXX Reported that he purchased pioneer dvd recorder , which had a European two pin plug fitted. His wife received an electric shock when attempting to ( force ) plug it...

Is this any good? Could it cause damage to roof tiles when the foam starts to expand? Is it really waterproof/stops leaky roofs?

Thanks. That's what we were thinking but neither the present owners (wood still looks new :? ) seem to know anything about it nor were they told by the previous owners. Something to worry about? He doesn't want to spend money on a survey only to find it's a problem. Would any...

apparently all over.

A friend has visited a property he likes but when he went into the loft he saw what could only be described as a second set of joists roughly 1.5 feet above the original with beams running up to the roof beams and a column at the gable end. No one seems to know (or want to say) why. Is there...

Come to think of it, rotting fish would be closer than rubber.

Thanks On the other side is my second bedroom. This is a good idea. Hope the wall is thick enough to bury the cable with whatever conduit is necessary. The walls are really thin. So thin you can hear the neigbours rustle a plastic bag on the other side :x Any way of determining how...

mine does the same and a plumber neighbour said it could be due to loose pipes under the bathroom floor. Can't get to mine as the floor is completely tiled so can't verify.

Only two tiles above shower so this would be the better option. Just have to figure out the route for the initial run up into the loft first. Q. If the previous shower (a manky looking 7.5k Triton) was used for 9 years on same cable and same 30A fuse, surely that should have caused some...

Not easily. CU is under open staircase. Would you mean coming down through some sort of waterproof conduit or still break tiles?

thanks for all the info guys. 2x4 time to the guy that installed the bathroom. Now I will have to break the wall tiles, remove the bath and screen, break the floor tile (damn expensive ones from Italy and run a new cable as I BET he did NOT use any sort of conduit inside the wall where I...

B4 work yesterday I switched off the main switch for the shower downstairs. Got home last night and took a look at the fuse. Spark123, you were right. Is a 30A :shock: cylindrical fuse in a plastic holder. My God, my house could have burnt dowm. It was this that was giving off the smell...

Guy who told me it would be ok was the one i bought it from. He said if wiring had been fine for 7.5k it would be ok for 8.5k. Problem is I don't think the guy that did the bathroom put wiring in conduit of any sort. When he pulled off the old shower, that wire was just buried in the plaster...

Bought a house with old bathroom. Changed old Triton t80 7.5kw with Triton t80si 8.5kw as the guy said the wiring was of the right gauge to take it. Started using the second step in the power (not heat) setting and I started smellimg a rubber smell around the house. Never put two and two...

After the heavy rain we have had lately, i've noticed a small puddle appearing in my bath. Went into the loft and noticed that on the boards there are two or three wet spots. Looked up and some tile are showing daylight. No Felt. 1) Can I install felt or something similar without taking tiles...

thanks. don't really want to re plaster etc again. will have to go through the council and see if they can do something.

Moved into our new house in June and the neighbours on both sides were the best you could ask for. Unfortunately, one side was renting and now that they have left, the new family is a nightmare. Banging doors, running up and down the stairs and loud music until the wee hours. Is there...

It's a Triton T80si, just instant heat i think.

Why is it that when I turn on my electric shower, the two R80 spots ( i know, shouldn't be in a batroom :oops: ) dim then go brighter again? Am thinking to install one of those combined spot/extractor units and one other appropriate spot later instead but need to know what problems to look...

Just moved into our first house. Owner left all kitchen appliances. The microwave is rank as is the gas hob and the oven doesn;t work. :( I suppose I should have checked. The hob I de greased and am using for now. Q) Is Baumatic any good? Seem to be fairly cheap.
