Thanks for your reply Your idea of having the heaters on a timed supply sounds good I was just wondering if he would get enough heat out of this type of heating? Have you any idea what size heaters he should have given the room sizes above. And would the main cut-out (I think 60A) handle the...

I have a mate with an old cottage, He intends to rent this out but at the moment he has no form of heating and no gas supply, I have suggested storage heating as running cost will not be an issue for him he will be getting a quote from a sparks for the work but was wondering what a ball park...

Hi everyone I have a mate who owns a old cottage in the country at the moment he has no heating installed and no gas supply Is oil central heating cost effective and would installation be the same as gas well apart from fitting the oil tank in the garden ? Would storage heating be a better...

Thanks for all your replies I just thought I would paste the information from the place I got the outboard from To power this motor you need a 12 v car type battery, there is NO battery in the motor or offered with it here.  The length of time it will run depends on the size of the battery...

I'm not sure if I'm in the right place but hopefully someone can help.? I have just purchased an electric outboard motor so I now need a battery to run it. The motor is rated at 12v 35 AH although I believe this is on full power so the AH usage will be lower as it will be used on a lower...

a big thank you for all your advice i do appreciate all your comments even if it sounds like i only want to hear that what i want to do will be ok thats not the case i understand all the implications with not complying with building regs. some will (not me) find a way around it and not say...

Surprise surprise part p again ? I haven’t even began to think about starting this job yet I did intend to run the cables myself and get a sparks (who has done work for me in the past) to install a new CU. And do all the testing etc. And as this work will be done over some time I was looking...

england why?

I want the manifold to enable me to turn on the flow to the rads as I install them and have individual ones working. I did intend to run 15mm plastic direct to the rad maybe using a rigid tube over the plastic to make it look neater. The pipes will be under the floor etc but I wanted to do it...

I was talking about splitting the six ends over two breakers so only 3 ends in each I have always had plenty of room for earths and neutrals. Just trying to simplify the job as it can’t be done all at once as for testing/ faultfinding etc how hard is it to remove the ends from the breakers...

im looking to get rads working one at a time so turning on at the manifold via a valve would be helpful

the rooms will not be done all at the same time

im looking for a manifold with valves. and what about a bypass.?

I’m looking to run some lighting cables and it would be helpful to run to the switch first then on to the light fitting (breaking the live at the switch) That way no joint boxes and only one cable at the fitting. My question is I would end up with around 6 1mm T&E at the CU would it be ok to...

I’m looking into using a manifold to connect standard radiators to a combi boiler most of the information I have seen is for under floor heating and some manifolds have pumps attached. I’m assuming that for what I am looking to do will not require a separate pump? I’m looking to fit standard...

Thanks all for your comments So with that in mind do you think that system would be better than copper?

Just some more questions about using plastic pipe work I have been reading on the Internet about pros and cons of both and im still none the wiser? Will plastic connect securely to brass compression fittings? If so surely this would be more secure than standard push fit. Also can it be taken...

Thanks for your reply I will use copper for the job in question but now im interested about the all plastic systems I have seen loads of new systems plumbed this way it surely must be much easier than copper to install but is it really a no no given the choice ? And is there a big difference in...
