All in the ceiling void. It's a cold flat roof with celotex if that makes a difference (yeah I know it probably shouldn't have downlights in a cold roof but I didn't do it)

My thoughts exactly. Visually I was thinking of 50x2l bottles of water and thinking no chance the tiny f+e tank in my loft is anywhere close. Now I see the comment said system not tank!

I might be going nuts but there is no way the tank i have holds 100l. More like 20l

Must be it thanks. Best way to get out the excess...open the drain down valve for a minute?

lovely. Ta

Forgot to add, the circuits were added and notified in 2007 and are on a RCCB

Hi. Having recently moved into a property, i am making my way round changing lights to LED. I have now done all but the bathroom downstairs which operates on 3x halogen downlighters with 12v transformers. I tried swapping them out for LED but they flicker. Anyway, easiest option would be to...

update. Its not the cold water tank its defo the header tank and only drips when the hot water is heating or heating is on.

Hello, I have patched in a new overflow pipe to stop the leak on the brick. There is still a slow drip, interestingly the drip is when the hot water is on. Anyway, QQ, a friend of mine has told me that the overflow pipe i have put in, should be flush with the brick and should not be sticking...

Ok do removing the jacket from the water made it worse. I suspect its been under there a good while and has caused the valve to be pushed up. Draining down has moved things and upset it. It's back in under the cock and it's stopped for now. I've also pushed the overflow pipe out as far as I can...

Hi, I cant attach any pic as there is only just enough room to get my hand in. I cant see in there, no way, i had to take a video on my phone to see what was going on (cant see how to post that). It may have been installed when the house was constructed in 1967, its an old system. The black...

Hello, We had a new rad fitted by a plumber last Friday. The system was drained down to facilitate this (tails needed moving). Anyway after the job my hot water didn't work, i bled the coil which fixed that. Now i have noticed that the overflow (which is snapped off at the wall) is dribbling...

Exactly that was the point. I am perfectly allowed to do what i stated and irrigate my garden with a pump from the stream. The pump i have has max 3000l per hour, thats with 3 sprinklers connected to get full flow. So thats running them 6.6 hours per day to consume 20,000l. I run one...

Indeed. From .gov If you want to remove or abstract water from a surface source (such as river, stream or canal) or from an underground source and take more than 20 cubic metres (approximately 4,400 gallons) a day, you will almost certainly need an abstraction licence. The following information...

I have checked that out. It's on my property so I can extract up to 20,000l per day legally

Hello. I will move the FCU to before the first spur. My plan was then to add an external FCU from the socket (not from the first FCU). Seems overkill to have a second external FCU, however I need an external junction box anyway, and I want the ability to isolate the SWA cable just in case the...

Thank you. Will do that

Hello. So I know you can add a single unfused spur from a socket (ring main) which is what I already have in place. I would like to know, can I add a fused spur from the existing un fused spur? I am looking to run a SWA cable to a socket outside with an external 13a fcu. Does this fit the rule...

Thanks for everyone

Thank you. I had started the job the other way around but stopped suspecting your suggested approach would be the best way to go.
