The 'wall' I want rid of is red bricks. The breeze bricks are the main exterior wall.. I'm not sure they are breeze bricks, they're black and are part of the main exterior wall That's all I can tell you. The bricks I want to get rid of are the red bricks. They've been made into a kind of small...

Sorry will upload more photos.. having issues uploading

Bought an old house and in the boiler cupboard there's a brick made enclosure. Not sure what the purpose of this is because it's sat on floor boards. It's is being used at the moment as a base for the for the hot water cylinder, but that's going to be removed and the heating system will be...

the pro from this website https://www.electricalcompetentperson.co.uk/ isnt calling me back.. even sent him an email! no wonder people resort to the yellow pages. I'm thinking maybe he didnt like that I asked for a ballpark price based on pictures? (same ones i posted here)

by the way.. check out this pic.. can you see that dangling cable? it feeds the garage from the main house. Is that acceptable? looks a bit amateurish to my laymans eyes

Ive contacted an electrician from the site supplied https://www.electricalcompetentperson.co.uk/... to be honest I'm a bit nervous about telling him 'you should be installing RCBO's because I got that from an internet forum' I'm hoping the guy knows his sh1t and comes up with the same solution...

you sure know your stuff.. wish you were local to me. Just out of curiosity how much would you charge say for a days work (excluding materials cost)? I'm assuming it will take a day or two to replace the CU in my property

Good idea, will discuss with the spark who changes the CU I'm in Boston (East Midlands) - now whats the best way to find a decent sparky? Shall I just use the yellow pages? I dont live there and am not from the area so don't know anyone

Thanks, didn't know that a sparky had install a shower circuit. Will be done down the line and will get an electrician to wire it up

btw any idea on ball-park labour cost for replacing a CU to a more modern one. Assume that all the testing is OK There are earth terminals in the lighting circuits and the wiring in the house is a combination of modern and old.

it would a backup shower in a second bathroom - hardly ever used and would come in handy if the boiler's not working

You've said that about 10 times! Will you stop following me if I say yes I am Jim? OK, yes you are right I am Jim. Hope you're satisfied now and we can stick to the topic.. Apologies, but every time someone replies I get an alert.. not really interested in these kinds of messages

Just bought an old house. It has old wiring (red and black wires) and has an old and small consumer unit (the old black ones) I want a new consumer unit with extra slots for expansion and potential rewiring. I will be installing an electric shower Would really like to rewire the whole house...

Yes will do.. but will be on the weekend
