I've carried out some work on my home, new windows (one bay windows is structurally supporting, fitted a new flue down the chimney and installing a wood burning stove. What I hadn't realised is that I should of called building control out before doing the work and not just after completion...

Just realised this might be better in this forum Im fitting a wood burning stove, which I plan to have certified by the necessary bodies, however I have two thin (about 8cm wide) strips of standard plasterboard running down the fire place opening that fall with in restricted area for...

Im fitting a wood burning stove, which I plan to have certified by the necessary bodies, however I have two thin (about 8cm wide) strips of standard plasterboard running down the fire place opening that fall with in restricted area for combustible material. I realise I should have used glasroc...

lol, so no one will be putting a hammer to the freshly plastered ceiling them to check!

EFLImpudence - Thanks mate, just saved me ordering the wrong ones!!

I think, as you say, Im going to revisit this work as replace with the Ashley MF junction boxes. Are the 16A version ok for the lighting circuits as they run on a 6A MCB? I think there might be 1 or 2 junction boxes that I wont be able top get to at this present time with out a complete room...

arrr bugger, I may have made a mistake here, There are the odd standard junction boxes in places where carpet will be present, and while I have used cable clips to secure the cables in to the junction boxes, they still don't meet section 526, as you say. I guess its better to have spotted it...

Hi, Ive just measure the current being pulled with all light on and its 0.55A (so wasnt to far off on the calcs) so would this be the right way to do it Shower Pump (In loft) It is acceptable to wire the shower pump on to the immersion heater wiring. I assume I should do do this via...

So just to finalise what I need to do Shower Pump (In loft) It is acceptable to wire the shower pump on to the immersion heater wiring. I assume I should do do this via an FCU Question - although thew immersion heater cable is very thick (cooker wire type) and can handle the 32A MCB, would...

Yes, the CU has two banks both on a 63A RCD (CUR6330)

Is this bad!! And does it need changing

Its definitely labelled Immersion heater, and Ive traced it through to the immersion heater, but its definitely not 2.5mm cable, its more like cooker wire size

but my immersion heater is on a 32A MCB

What about the jacuzzi pump (which is on the upper floor), just tap in to the ring mains with a fused spur under the floor boards (or does a fused spur need to be above floor boards)

Just for future reference, why wouldn't you stick it on the immersion heater wiring, is it cause of the MCB rating is way to high and dangerous? So it is acceptable to use a lighting circuit then? The lighting circuit is on a 6A MCB, running totals of 14 LED spots (5.5w each so I guess...

Hi, Where is it advised to wire a shower pump and a jacuzzi pump in to, the ring mains, or should they be on their own dedicated circuit? The shower pump lives in the loft so I only have access to the upper light wiring or the immersion heater wiring

Now Ive got ya, make sense now Did you have to use two BDR91's, one for heating and one for hot water, or does one BDR91 control the two?

Ok Im a bit lost now I plan to use this honeywell evo home system, which is basically a 7 day programmable wireless system. Say I program it to come on for 3 hours in the winter evening. Whilst on, all the rooms come up to temperature, will the evo system turn the boiler off its self, or...

Hey Jeff, That was going to be my next question, querying page 14 of the baxi manual that shows a Y Plan full TRV system. So basically, I rewire the pump the the p/f terminal of the solo 15, and that allows a fully TRV system and removes the need for a room thermostat....correct...

Ok, so from that I gather a fully TRV system is a no There are 3 rooms down stairs (Lounge, Kitchen and Hall). The Kitchen as you8 said I cant have the room stat in, and the lounge has a log burner as another heat source. The hall has no radiator Upstairs there are 4 rooms (3 bedrooms and...
