Hello all. I'd like to install 2 double sockets in a new build conservatory. I have an existing double socket nearby that has 2 cables going into it. From what I've read as it doesn't have 1 or 3 cables it's possible to spur but however not for 2 double sockets. So, am I safe to assume that...

Will use the spare way and fit RCD protection. With regard to notifying the LABC, do they have to inspect once work is done or is it purely for their records? As for the downstairs circuit RCD protection, would replacing the MCB's with a 32a RCBO suffice? Thanks.

I need the existing internal sockets so unfortunately can't replace it with a switched fuse spur. I do, however, have a spare way on the CU. Can I make it a radial circuit from this spare way using a 16A MCB or does it have to be a ring? As for the protection from an RCD, are there external...

Thanks for the quick response guys. I've looked a bit closer at the CU. The internal power socket runs 1 foot directly to a 32a MCB in the CU. This 32a MCB also feeds other sockets in same room. So, after reading responses the internal socket isn't a spur but a new socket on a radial. Can I...

Hi everyone. I\\\'d like to add an outdoor socket. I\\\'ve found an internal socket that is connected directly to the fuse box. It has just one cable running into it. The distance to the fuse box from this is only 1 foot. I\\\'d like to drill a hole directly through the wall and connect to...

Replaced actuator 'like for like' now CH and hot water working fine! Just in case anybody has the same problem and has to replace this type of actuator I made the embarrasing mistake of fitting it upside down!! This resulted in a swelteringly hot house because the CH stayed on constantly (even...

oh, I'm with you....duh..... will replace actuator head as soon as I get hold of it and post my results. cheers.

Thanks for the quick response. Forgive my lack of terminology but do you mean slot on and wire up a new actuator head? Not sure what you mean by 'bleeder'.

Hello all. I posted a problem on 15th March 2006 under ‘CH problem’ regarding hot water but no CH with a Potterton Flamingo 40 boiler, hot water cylinder, two open tanks in attic. After advice from here, concluded it was a problem with port valve part of system. After removing the actuator...

Thank you both for such a rapid (I'm talking minutes!!) response. Removed the port valve controller, turned valve manually and CH came on! working fine at the moment as timer dictates but will this mean hot water will run out at some point and I'll have to turn valve back to heat the storage...

I have a Potterton Flamingo 40 boiler downstairs, a hot water storage tank upstairs and two open tanks in loft. Hot water works fine but CH does not work at all. Boiler fires up for CH but cuts out after a couple of minutes. Checked tanks in loft and they're ok (2/3 full) Thermostat (only one...
