Well I thought I'd update this thread Due to time constraints I ended up going with one of the guys who had quoted. He said initially he would make it work with a new 2.5mm cable from the CU. I said it you're going to run a new cable rather than off the ring, you may as well run 4mm given the...

Hi, did you go for vufold after and would you recommend?

I don't have the space or time for a channel to be dug from the island that the hob will reside on, unfortunately, and also there would nowhere outside for it to vent to, or v limited anyway, due to external ground level.

HI I'm having a new kitchen and thoughts have turned to extraction secondary to the recirc which will be built into the hob, and i'm thinking of using accoustic flexible ducting (from TLC) in the ceiling void, with a basic face plate mounted in the ceiling, and the actual fan in the eaves (am...

B20P how deep are your foundations out of interest? Mine are 800mm, and the floor slab is insulated, and cavity dwarf walls (breeze internal, brick outer tied into main building), seems to have been built with a possible extension in mind, rather than just a conservatory.

Are you considering the roof replacement system and the Hup! blocks for the walls out of interest? Sounds like not if you are putting a cavity in. I'm in a similar quandry, conservatory, 30 years old, need something doing with it. The roof replacement guys all say their systems meet current...

Hello Just had a new boiler installed and the installer fitted a Salus It500. I had a Honeywell single channel wireless room stat before that. Does the salus offer anything better than the Honeywell? I don't want internet. I believe the boiler will modulate and condense irrespective of which...

Might be worth speaking to your insurance legal cover and get someone in to fix it, then MCOL the original plumber. Some plumbers really are right plums.

Feel for you OP. Hope you get it sorted without too much pain.

Hi, thanks, got someone coming out this week and I presumed I needed it closed, but straps is a good call and I can ask them. It looks like the conservatory base was built as an internal room, so we are thinking of keeping the slab and dwarf walls and building on top, so this opening/door will...

Added another photo and clarified what I'm asking. Thanks

Hello Had a wall and door frame between our kitchen and conservatory removed. The wall was a cavity wall, and did extend down about 2 feet below FFL until the builder filled it with rubble. I need to get this opening ready for an aluminium door and window. It's approx 3m x 2.2m. but I'm...

Thank you John Struggling to find a new electrician but looking. According to one of the ones I've had in, the 6mm cable must be protected with a 32amp rcbo, hence needing two circuits. I feel like I've tried to do the right thing by getting sparks in but frankly it's been a bit of a waste of...

The room is 4.5m wide, and half of it is boarded out eaves/attic and the other half is a bedroom. I'm hoping we can cut holes via the boarding in the eaves and thread it through. Use more cable, but cables cheap.

I'll be expecting a replacement These uPVC windows were fitted last June and have been a bit crap compared to what they replaced to be honest. Rattly, fitment issues, feel cheap. They weren't. Rehau for what that's worth but obviously that's just the plastic tat not the assembly or fixings etc.

Yep, that's what i'm leaning toward. I don't want the joists touched, and the upstairs is half eaves and half bedroom, boarded with 18mm chipboard (yuck!) so i'm thinking we overboard the ceiling and skim it. Have had a plasterer in and its not that expensive in the scheme of things.

Thank you again. Honestly yes I think getting another electrician in is probably the best approach. Considering not one of the ones I had in already even thought to pop off the cover of the oven isolator to see what the existing supply cable is. Thanks again, have a good evening.

Thanks, I'll see what he says

Cor that's awful. I'm in the process of getting some new windows fitted at the rear of my property (north facing this time) and you've got me thinking if I should go for aluminium. Wishing I hadn't got anthrafrickingcite on the front anyway :D

Hi again. Electrician saying diversity for an oven and hob on same circuit is hard to justify, as they're frequently operated together. Also that "12000 / 230v gives approx 52.2 amps, therefore 6mm cable not suitable under any installation method, as max current is 47A, even before derating to...
