Hello! I'm building an open porch which will have oak cladding on top of the rafters so that when you look up it's look nicer than looking up at tile underlay. I'm then having french tiles on top. Obviously I need the battens to hold the tiles but should I have battens running down the slope...

To be honest, if that's the only option then 13A is going to be plenty anyway. 100W lighting, 1kw mower, 600w sump pump = 1700W = 7A. That's pretty much it really!

Hello and thanks for the responses! The shed is 25m from the utility room. Cheers, M

Hi! I have a 2.5mm SWA cable to the shed to power a double socket (for leccy mower, drill etc) and a fused light spur. I want to connect it to the ring in the kitchen rather than go all the way back to the consumer unit. The consumer unit is a recent split load unit so all circuits have RCD...

Many thanks for the replies you two! I've been away so couldn't reply till now though. Before I have a little dismantle I have a few more observations I was hoping would maybe clarify the situation further: - There is now never any hot water (boiler not lighting) when I run the hot taps...

Hi! I have a Ravenheat CSI/HE range combi. Recently it started running cold water after a few minutes, and then back to warm for a bit, then cold again etc. Even more recently it sometimes won't even start running warm at all. The heating has been off for months (summer) but I tried...

I suppose that could work seco (though I assume you mean this one (it's a male thread on the shower arm). Still very surprised that it doesn't come with one of those in the kit. Seems pretty imperative to the whole installation of the thing!

I think I'm gonna have to ring the "manufacturer" (importer) in the morning and see how they expect this thing to be installed cos the instructions are diabolical and supporting that heavy arm from a threaded elbow and a pipe clip is a recipe for disaster I reckon...

Hmm... thought that might be the case. What about the shower arm though. For a start there's no threaded elbow with it and the arm is 18" long so surely that can't be held by pipework can it? Do you think the kit should've come with some kind of wallplate elbow? The shower arm is a 3/4" BSP male...

Hi! I know it has to go inside the wall (I have a stud partition) but that doesn't hold it in place. There is no way of clamping the front plate against the stud wall. The only thing I can think of would be using copper pipe held with clips but I was hoping to use some flexible pipes to connect.

Hi! Just bought my first thermostatic shower to install (done electric ones before... easy) and I'm totally at a loss of how I'm supposed to mount this thing. I assumed it would come with brackets for the shower arm and the shower body but no! There are threaded elbows and a straight to...

in fact, I still don't see why something like this http://www.ukbathroomstore.co.uk/vado-concealed-3way-diverter-valve-with-square-backplate-p-148378.html?currency=GBP (low pressure too so can accept immersion tank HW) can't be used assuming (like the 3-port motorised valve) that it can be used...

Hi! Sorry for not replying... I've been away for a few days. Cheers for the reply. The thermal store deal look rather complex doesn't it? I looked into bought thermal stores like this but my combi doesn't allow pre-heated water. Regarding the 3-port valve. Do they usually have any...

Cheers for the quick reply. The system will be vented. In terms of valve I was actually just thinking a manual one. Kind of like a shower mixer http://www.plumbworld.co.uk/architeckt-avus-recessed-1739-384 . Then I could have it mounted just below the shower mixer but above the bath taps...
