From the AO website.... smeg cooker Product specification and then installation bit

Ah right...makes sense. I have now unscrewed the small backplate and can see the 5 connection points with correlate with the wiring diagram on the back. Thanks for confirming the 32A circuit will be fine. Last question, I think. What cable do I need and how would I connect the live and link to...

I did wonder that, as there's no way AO were going to do that with the swap over. All they wanted to know is whether there was a big red switch... https://shop.smeguk.com/range-cookers/electric-cookers/c6ipxt2-60cm-concert-pyro-cooker-with-induction-hob-and-digitouch-control-stainless-steel/...

Thanks both. The new oven fuse rating is indeed 45amp. We have a big red switch (I can remove it to double check the reverse but looks like oven switches are all rated at 45amp?). I assume I may well have a cooker connection unit behind the oven somewhere? The breaker is B32 (it's the one...

Hi all, We've got a new freestanding electric oven with induction hob- I need to replace an existing integrated gas hob and oven. Quite happy with the worktop cabinet alterations....the kitchen is being redone soon anyway. I'm also getting the gas meter removed in a couple of weeks so...

We've had a 12kW ASHP installed. Noise- negligible I would say. My bathroom extractor fan is noisier.

You will be fine with expanding foam around perimeter, and then trimming it back. Whether this is more effective than what you have in situ, is possibly debatable. With the ply overboarding you are screwing it down at 150mm centres I'm guessing, so any expansion will be negligible anyway.

As a non plumber/heating engineer I might have missed the point, but we've just gone from a quite old condensing boiler with a set flow temp/nest thermostat to an ASHP with weather compensation. It has been running all of October and cost us almost exactly the same as last October (taking into...

I have one of these: heavy duty tile saw and this blade is the best I've tried so far with it: diamond cutting disc Cuts through porcelain tiles without a problem-nice clean cuts without chipping. I have a Rubi score and snap cutter as well for straight cuts on larger tiles but can't really...

Even if everything straightforward that's not a half day job esp if pipework to rads needs altering. 1 day, plus time to purchase materials...if day rate is £350 to £400 I'd say 1.5 days is more reasonable + materials. Thus I'd go with Notch7s estimate, personally (also not a plumber).

You can buy Fernox express test kits which you can do at home, taking a small sample from a radiator/magnetic filter. I've ordered some as we have a similar scenario to you (want to check following system drain and refill and don't trust workmanship). The full kit containing 50 test strips is...

Reasonable. As with all these things it is a combination of a few issues and the thermostat ‘misunderstanding’ with this particular company (which is a stone bonker- they’ve charged in quote for new one), has proved to be the tipping point. Which I’m pretty sure is covered by another offence:LOL:

Some of it. Some of it they left and I took to the tip. But, I said this wasn’t a problem as I go to the tip quite a lot so no issues there. There was nothing in the quote or t and c’s regarding waste. I didn’t say anything because to be honest I forgot. I get some peoples views that this is...

Thanks! Your setup is exactly what we are aiming for, but with the ashp. Weather compensation, and better comfort. The previous owner of our house had panels installed as well so it just seemed to make sense going down this route and at the end of the day it's just another way of heating the...

The in Some interesting case studies there..... :LOL: I concur that it is for the tradesperson to specify in the contract and not turn it around on the customer. A reasonable person wouldn't classify a cylinder worth just under £100 as waste. If they are happy for the plumber to realise the...

Couldn't resist checking in. Interesting perspectives but yes bottom line is I consider it theft. They are benefiting from taking my property and I don't really get why it's an accepted perk, or bonus. My point about the invoice wasn't to suggest I'd ever not pay. I've always paid, and in some...

Nothing in the quote/contract covers this. Customer to ask or professional tradesperson to specify that they are going to remove valuable parts for their benefit? I just assumed I’d get to keep a pump that cost almost £200. Or- at least be asked, rather than me having to request it specified in...

I don't mind about copper pipe. What I do mind is components that are worth quite a bit of money and assumed ownership rights seem to come into play. As above, I didn't consider these items waste and I wasn't asked, and certainly the cylinder I could have made a fair bit off Ebay.

Useful insights. Industry standard practice, is what I am gathering. Thanks

What contract? An implied one?
