phowaaa ok now that is scary!!!

well spotted dannyboi! no earth!!! that was def a fault, but most imporant was the fact that this was the 2nd of two spurs coming off an original spur!!! the original spur wasnt even protected by a 13A fuse, it was linked direct to the ring main. so thats 3 spurs from the ring, and wait for it...

no infact it wasn't as bad as that!!

Was called out earlier today, a lady pointed out that she was seeing a blue flash of light when she'd turn the appliance off at the switch, the appliance being a clothes iron in this case. At first, I thought this could be a case of changing the existing socket to a higher quality one to note...

cheers kev :lol: but on a more serious note, how much will one of these balancing valves set me back? where can i purchase one as screwfix dont seem to have any?

cheers for the reply geez, but this part seems awfully expensive! can a tap or some sort of shut off valve not be used to reduce the pressure, i need to keep the cost of this install to a bare minimum!!

quick question ref to a mixer shower i have uneven pressures at the cold and hot in the bathroom, i.e. cold water enters direct from the mains and hot is supplied via a tank in the loft. the cold has extreme pressure in comparison to the hot so i am not sure whether connecting both to a mixer...

good man cheers

I would recommend the kinetico 2020c as one of the best on the market, thats just my opinion. I have installed several of these lately and have had no negative feedback. Its non electric, simple to use, compact and also quite elegant to the eye. Another one doing rather well at the moment is the...

i have an existing cold water feed to the original toilet which is now being replaced with a standard push button close coupled one. The old cold water pipe doesn't quite fit to the new toilet as the new toilet sits a lot lower than the first. Was thinking of a flexible hose to connect from...

yes the lamp did glow but very faint, very very faint. But the light on the landing remained normal, just the hallway one that faded. I had a guess and yes the fact that it wasnt connected in parallel did cross my mind, but I gave up and advised customer accordingly. Customer did get another...

Chris 1982, You do sound like a man with a bit of knowledge, that is exactly what i hated about the xbox, the blimmin components. Did consider getting the 360 elite which has hdmi but then thought sod it and go for the ps3 instead, right move i tell ya. What ya reckon, ps3 or the 360, from...

My setup consists of the following: Sharp 42inch LCD HD READY (1080p) PS3 Sky + box DVD player I have 2 HDMI's going into the TV, one from the PS3 and the other one is just a spare just in case I need to add an additional device later. If hiding all wires you have to think way ahead...

I'd get rid of the xbox360 and make way for the ps3, far better console, will def make your setup worth the while.

blimey, wasn't expecting this....

Went to a customers today for a basic plumbing job. He pointed out an issue with the light on his upstairs landing so I thought I'd take a look. Established that the celing rose on the landing is linked to another ceiling rose in an adjacent hallway. Both are controlled by a 2way lighting...

afternoon all! I have a combi boiler system in my house. Just wondering, if I were to be interested in installing a mixer shower, manual or thermostatic, could I tee off the hot and cold basin tap supplies which run under the bathtub and still achieve a decent pressure or would I need to bring...
