Hi, is there such a thing? I currently have a wired programmer and no thermostat. The house will be vacant for a while and I want the heating to come on when the temperature drops. I know I could pay for a frost stat to be fitted, but could I do any of the following cheaper options?: 1. Replace...

Thanks crazydaze!

Hi quick question A: Do I butt the harboard sheets up against the existing gripper rods, or B: Do I need to remove the existing gripper rods, butt the hardboard sheets to the skirting and reinstall the gripper rods? Answer A is my preference but I don't want the fitter turning up and saying he...

Hi I've got dedicated 6mm cable to cooker switch and then 6mm handwired to hob at present. Bought 45A dual outlet to fit between cooker switch and hob and want to feed a socket to plug the single oven into. What size cabe from 45A dual outlet to socket? 6mm or 2.5mm? Advice appreciated

Cheers. I will pay my local branch a visit on Saturday morning

Good website! I can get the trims locally but was looking for something a bit thicker. The only L shape on the website is 100 x 80. I will contact them to see if they have smaller. Thanks for the reply

Hi, a builder mate of mine fitted new upvc windows for me. Due to his workload I agreed to fit any trims on the inside of the dorma windows. The depth to fill is approx 50mm. I've looked at the upvc board that you can fit on top of existing board (the one with a profile like a walking stick)...

What trips? An MCB or RCD? = RCD Why not just replace the FCU with a timed one? = I already have two sunken boxes so I will still have two boxes either way (FCU inc timer + blank or FCU + Timer) If it works when not fitted into the back box and causes a trip when it is then there's...

Hi, I have the following set up that trips immediately I turn the switched FCU on. Can anyone explain why? I had a radial circuit to bathroom (built in former garage space) to switched FCU (with 13A fuse) to electric towel radiator and all works perfectly. I wanted to add an electronic timer...

I was working in a kitchen taking quarry tiles of a floor. I had the light on all day. I sensed a burning smell and thought it was one of my power tools. However, as the light seemed to have dimmed I looked up and saw this! The bulb still worked (the light was dimmer due to the mass melted...

Sorry don't quite follow your reply. Are you saying: CU --> Ckr Outlet 1 (connect gas hob to this) --> Ckr Outlet 2 --> Double Oven. All in 6mm except Ckr Outlet 1 to hob in HR 2.5mm? Alternatively could I do the following?: Existing radial for kitched sockets --> switched FCU over...

Ha, maybe I should! 8) Incidentally, could the 2.5mm heat resistance cable that comes with the gas hob be connected straight to this? That would be 6mm in and 6mm and 2.5mm out. I do like the idea of a single isolating switch for both double oven and hob :)

Cheers not seen one of these before!

Hi, I need to replace my oven and hob. I have chosen a double oven (to be wired with 6mm cable). If I go for an electric hob, the cooker installation instructions say I should take 2.5mm heat resistent cable from the same outlet as the 6mm cable so they can both by isolated by the same...
