Hello, Just had a quote to do this. He told me he won't use cheap thermal blocks but use solid concrete blocks. We didn't go for insulated shed as the quote was £10k but a non insulated for £6k with rendering outside with elec socket and flat roof. Is this a good price?. He told us no use...

Hello and thanks for the reply. Is this based on cheaper options, i.e. concrete blocks and flat roof. The area 30m2, what is it please, as I'm not familiar with this. Is this 20 ft x 8 ft area.

Many thanks for your reply. It won't be a DIY job, as I'm not that good in that department but hire a workmen to do it, any idea how much it would cost roughly.

Hi All, We moved into our present house few years ago and there is old brick shed in the garden in poor condition. Wife is very keen to replace it a new brick rectangle shape one. 20ft xs 8ft roughly. I like to know the following. 1. Is it better to use concrete blocks or normal bricks to...

The fault happens (MCB trips) during usage of appliances, which includes the combi boiler. As I mentioned before the first Electrician after the original rewire, put a dedicated boiler line and MCB marked 'Boiler' at least that's what he told me and thought what he did and also worked on the...

Hi, There was no scheme and no warranty taken at the time, but the original installer was part of Niceic, but he refused to come back. The whole house was rewired 3 years ago as part of the renovation. The second electrician who worked in the kitchen circuit for several hours only to have the...

Hello and thanks for your reply. The answer to your question in the end is no, we don't have shed or garage socket any external socket attached on DW or WM and Hob. The last visiting electrician said to fix this he has to put new wiring from the problematic kitchen wall socket, but that the...

Hello The breaker marked as 'boiler' is also connected to hob ignition and dishwasher and washing machine, they also don't work. The last electrican found a fault with his testing tool on the wall sockets where washing machine and dishwasher is connected. I suspect the rewiring that was done 3...

Thanks for your reply. Switching off the boiler still trips the breaker and after repeatedly putting on the breaker, trips one of the two RCD. We called another sparky yesterday and he tested the sockets in the kitchen and found to be faulty. He would do another wiring for £200. But that's the...

Hi folks, Had intermittent rcd tripping last year, sparky worked on kitchen wall sockets which were problematic and fitted dedicated boiler breaker, so at least boiler would be working if there are problems else where. Few months later again had rcd tripping and no electricity. The last one...

I mean for the enclosures, not the people who fit them, though that's very important, how much would you normally charge?

Have just installed a new wall shower but fitted shower curtains instead of glass shower enclosure. Now finding water getting onto the bathroom floor and then leaking into lower floor, through the downlight in our kitchen. It happens when the kids go for the shower and not drawing the curtains...

The double glazing lads broke on of the tiles, when they were installing new window, first they denied it and it's too late to recover anything form them. Now I've seen a damp appearing at the end of the lounge ceiling. First thought it could be from a leaked raditors but now discovered the...

The guy who fitted this, told me he installed 1.5 inch waste pipe with a slope.

I'm still having problem with this shower tray, as the water gathers around the tray and then overflows onto the floor. :( The plubmber did come back and told us that he did get enough slope as he calls it. Our slim tray came with 'Free high-flow shower waste included with 1 metre flex pipe'...

Thanks for the reply, So I don't need to worry then :) The installer just left doing the job and left me to do registration papers after completing his part on it.

Just had a new combi boiler installed but have noticed today that it fires up randomly for a minute or two and then stop and hours later does the same thing, even though we did not request it. Also can someone tell me what the control box is for this boiler, as I need to register the product...

Will try to have a shower without the chrome dome and will remove the cup, just leaving the hole, which I can't remove, as the side panel have been sealed. Will see how it drains.

Thanks for your comments folks, yes the cover is fancy chrome. The tray itself is 'easy plumb' type and noticed that the pipe is 70mm on its website. Here is the link...

Shower tray waste fitting has a small pipe as a result the water can't drain much, according to him. The waste fitting came with the tray. He told us that the new shower has fast flow, so we have to turn down the speed, otherwise we would have an overflow. He did fit electric shower in my...
