Great explanation, thank you for taking the time.

Thanks I've taken the wallpaper off the ceiling. There are lines which presumably is the tape but apart from that it looks pretty good?

Thanks. Its the 32kw i was looking at. The modulation looks good for heating and is the same on both the 24kw and 32kw, but the DHW performance of the 32 is better. DHW flow rate 35˚C temp. rise (cont) l/min 18.1 30K rise (EN13203-1) l/min 21.2 So 35c at 18.1 lpm. How long does that translate...

Thanks, interesting. I've had several plumbers/heating engineers out and can never seem to get any sort of technical detail like you've just provided. When you say 35deg like other boilers, do you mean other combi boilers specifically? I like a hot shower. Does this mean if my incoming water is...

Hello Kitchen ceiling was wallpapered and have removed that with a view to painting it. I can see lines - are these the joints between the boards and how can I prevent these showing through the paint please ? I did have a plasterer around to quote for skimming before the wallpaper came off and...

Great to hear. I'm getting one fitted soon.

Hi I'm having a new kitchen later this year and we need downlights installed and some sockets removed, so the electrician is going to have to make holes in the almost pristine 1990's ceiling which is currently papered. The paper looks to be coming off easily. I guess to paint it, i'd need to...

Are you happy with it ?

Check out the Veissmann 111-W - storage combi

My mistake its actually a single oven with combined 1000w microwave, total load 3kw. As for the cables, to be honest, i'm not entirely sure why he can't run the cables conventionally and i didn't ask, as I took the explanation on face value about running them under the joists, but it seems...

Had another electrician in and he is saying I need to do an eicr test, and then he will quote for a CU including remedial works. This seems reasonable to me, as he can't know what work needs doing without testing, or am I sleep walking into a rabbit hole? Also for the kitchen he is planning to...

This one? https://www.screwfix.com/p/titan-ttb653sds-5-9kg-electric-sds-plus-drill-230-240v/6846H Not the OP but had a similar question about SDS. I need to drill holes in brick cavity wall for UPVC waste pipes for a sink and washing machine - is this overkill for that, or OK? I need a really...

Flameport - thank you for this, great info. I've contacted another couple of local electricians to see if they are interested in quoting. I've a 32amp circuit already in the kitchen i believe, for the existing electric double oven, sounds like that can be re-used for the new induction and new...

Yeah i was wondering about the price. That doesn't include £3k for the kitchen wiring, which tbh, is a lot more than i was expecting for 12 downlights, 7 sockets, and a new circuit for a hob.

Existing cooker circuit will still be used for the cooker, but we're switching out gas to induction, so new circuit required. As its an 8kw induction hob, I believe 6mm is required and electrician seemed to agree, and due to the length of the run said 10mm may be required. I don't see it myself...

Ok here is a pic. Am getting electric work done for new kitchen incl induction hob circuit (6mm maybe 10mm CSA) and am considering upgrading this lot to have RCD protection on all circuits and current regs, which will also tidy it up. Worth it?

Hi all I've two consumer units, crabtrees circa 1990s with MCBOs, one CU for lights and the second for sockets. The only RCDs (RCBO?) are one for garage, and the other for a shower. Am looking at having an induction hob fitted, so adding extra 6mm cable/circuit, so electrician is involved...

Hi Am having a new boiler, it's wall mounted with built in cylinder. It's designed to go on a wall. I live in a bungalow and the location is an exterior wall, cavity constructed, brick, but near the top of the wall. Only thing sitting on top of the wall is the floor joists for the dormer...

Yes my flow is 16-18lpm, sorry, thought I'd included that on the OP but hadn't. Thanks for the suggestion I'll take a look. I'm not too worry about the size of the 111w tbh, as it's still less space than a unvented cylinder plus boiler so it actually frees up space (man maths). The existing...

From reading around, storage combi's seem not to be favoured, or perhaps i'm asking a silly question, but in any case, any opinions welcome.
