Sounds good. Thank you, I will get one.

Hello I fitted a new stopcock less than 3 years ago and it is leaking from the gland. Does anyone know of a good quality stopcock which will last longer ?. Many thanks for your help.

It was an EICR. Lasts 5 years. Actually it was done by a highly qualified electrical engineer, a former aircraft missile designer. Cannot find him now. I have qualifications, but not qualified to test, so not just DIY. Did not think about costs, as ericmark has pointed out. So I will just...

Hi Labour charges vary. But what should be a typical cost for testing a new circuit running from the CU and supplying a single fixed appliance ?. Thanks for any suggestion. Property has a 5 year certificate.

Oh, lovely, thank you both. Will check

Hi guys This is an Opella dual flush cistern, and excess water is dribbling into the WC. I tried adjusting with the adjuster as shown attached, but it does not seem to work. DSC 0056 in 1st photo shows adjuster on right. 0058 Dual flush valve. Any ideas on this please. Thanks

Hello The First Floor of a house carpeted a couple of years ago has a section, joined with Carpet Joiner and now badly frayed. I expected it could cut away and joined with left over material but a carpet fitter has said, with explanation/description, that as it is budget carpet it will be...

Okay. Taking all the advice and good criticism into account, and the 600mm Zone, I have looked again at the issue. I have decided to place the switch in the cupboard as it will then be beyond the 600mm limit. The pump itself will be at a point near to both the bath and the hot water cylinder...

Okay. Thank you.

Thank you for all replies. Subject to the Regs, 600mm, 2250 mm, all points considered, and the finished look, I could not put it in the bathroom. Yes, only one T&E, because the pump is not yet on site. The height of the FCU is deceiving in the photo. It is about 300mm lower than the position...

Hi I plan to install a shower pump, so may need to add additional storage. The cold water tank in my loft is a Fernham 40/60, but I do not know what capacity that means. Can someone please let me know. Thank you.

Hello Figures 0035 & 0038 show where I plan to fit a FCU to supply a shower pump in the bathroom. I have decided to seek advice here in case the regulations do not allow it, as it is positioned above the staircase. The landing is to the left. Thank you.

Thank you to all. I will get rid of the SELV and use FCU.

Hello I once had an Electric Shower Pump in the bathroom on a SELV unit. That pump was removed some time ago. Now I plan to fit a pump such as the Monsoon or Salamander. Instead of fitting a FCU would it be Okay to connect the pump to the SELV ? Thank you for all replies/advice.

Hello guys I have a Potterton conventional boiler. The programmer is reading 23.5 degrees and radiators are very hot. But the room thermostat is on Zero and I think a normal/acceptable room temperature should be about 20 degrees. It is safe to assume the room stat is faulty ? Thank you for...

Okay, thank you. I forgot, wet hands.

Hi As far as the Regs are concerned is it okay to fit the Fused Connection Unit in the airing cupboard where the pump is located. Ease of access. Or next to Consumer Unit ?. Thank you for replies. Nitell

Hi Two leaves of the trim on my double glazing was joined by adhesive. This was done about five years ago. Under tension, that section has now come apart. Does anyone know of any adhesive which I can use to secure a permanent bond ? Thank you. The vertical dark section in the attachment...

Okay, Thank you. I will make at least 12" X 12".

Hi I am about to build a garage, and the overall width, wall to wall, is about 5.50 metres. I have an RSJ which is 5200 X 200 X 135 mm. Fitted in position, a pulley would be used for hoisting, for example an engine. I am guessing that a substantial brick pier at either end would be...
