Morning All, I have a slightly strange issue with my LPG boiler, but I'm not entirely sure what sort of 'gasman' to call out to it. I'm also a bit nervous about calling people out to a fault that is 99% likely not to be doing it when they get here, but here goes: I have a 7 year old British...

Thanks All. Pity that I can have one double socket but not two single sockets, as that would be more convenient, but sounds like I can make this work...

I am just in the process of moving things around in my kitchen and am fitting some new units this weekend. I currently have a double socket inside one of my units, served by an unfused spur. Not sure what size cable feeds it, but it is a fairly big one (one of the flatter, not particularly...

So, a quick update. Had the bearing plate replaced, and it didn't initially improve things, in that I was still getting flame failure after 10-15 minutes of service. The boiler man's next guess is that, whilst the boiler has been serviced, it hasn't had a full strip-down service and...

A slight follow-up question..... After three days of having to reset it every 10-15 minutes if I wanted hot water, we have had 'the man' out today. He called me at work to say that he had had it running continuously in 'service mode' and it wasn't cutting out at all. At first I was preparing...

Okey Dokey.

My British Gas 430/i suffers from sporadic 'No Flame' failures, but at the moment it seems to come on, work for about 20 minutes, and then drop out again, which is making heating up water very laborious. I have heard some talk about cleaning up the flame sensor - Is that something I can do...

For what it's worth, I recently installed one of these systems - http://rayotec.com/electric-underfloor-heating-for-carpet - in my new extension. Works fine for my needs and the floor gets nice and toasty.

Sooo..As you'd expect with an intermittent fault, it is now working fine I've taken the opportunity to fit the plug anyway. I measured some resistances and am getting 18 Ohms on the coil, which is good. I'm getting infinite between Live and Neutral inputs but, I'm guessing that is because the...

Thanks, I'm not at home at the moment, so am just getting the plan straight in my head for when I get there...

Wasn't sure whether this was electrics or plumbing, but here's my tale... I have a central heating / hot water system, whereby the boiler does it's stuff and heats up the water in the hot water tank. Not sure what that systems is called, but it's the old 'normal' one. Throughout last night...

I used to be fairly regular here about ten or so years ago, and recently returned as I am doing some work of my own at the moment. Without naming names, it does seem that at least one poster has kept up an Olympian effort at picking holes and giving oblique, passive aggressive answers over the...

Sorry to ask a question that you may well have already answered, but are you saying that when you filled in those boxes, the wires were still in them ?

I did very similar once, when fitting a new door in our bedroom. I had the door hung, fitted the new catch in the door and plate in the frame (though, critically, had not drilled the hole for the spindle). Went inside the bedroom and shut the door to make sure it fitted and, as I heard the...

Did it come that way, out of the box, or has someone crammed the cable into a plug themselves ?

Interesting point. But I have a DAB radio pretty much right under one of the lights and it works fine...

Just out of interest, why should we avoid eBay ? I've fitted some in my kitchen, similar to those linked to in the OP (Minisun) which were a fraction of the cost of the others that have been recommended here and they seem fine. If anything, my only complaint is that the 5 x 5W warm bulbs seem...

Not that it's my preferred option, but if it came to it. I have a new Leisure Dual-Fuel Range Cooker and ordered the LPG Conversion Kit last Friday, to be told it would be here by Tuesday (i.e. yesterday). When I ordered them, I was given all the spiel about having to have them fitted by a...

Morning All, I'm in the middle of having an extension built and am now setting about the kitchen refit. I am going to get an electrician in, but am project-managing the job myself. I am having a multi-oven range with LPG hob put in, and have started removing units to accomodate it, and have...

He did, kind of, by eliminating all signs of 'boom'...
