I take it youve tried switching off every circuit and testing that circuit each time. Also switch off the CU and test it. Are there any old CUs in the intake cupboard? Switch off everything and check each time if necessary. Each time prove it isnt the current testing circuit as you go till you...

The post or the house? :lol: I think she was guzzumped and moved back into her old flat !

Or the earth might be 2 earths with one piece of sleeving !

Just what I thought....2.2Kw of potential load on the 6A MCB ??

Oh I see, I didnt actually mean that at all. And Ive re-read the post and it doesnt seem to imply that to me but then....I wrote it so I'm biased I suppose. The main gist of my point is that there arent any Dwarf wall storage heaters that I know of and if by some miracle there were, they wouldnt...

Que? :roll:

The pipework feeding it. Where does it come from ?

I doubt very much if you will find one. In fact I know you wont. A storage heater has to be fit for purpose, in order to achieve this it has a very long heating element that goes back and forth inside dense bricks. The idea is you switch on the power at night using a cheaper tariff and it goes...

Why cant you train your pet to move slowly?

The optima XL6 that you have is in fact a very good panel, and theres probably nothing wrong with it. If you change the PIRs after the reset, you may find it still works fine.

Modern digital domestic meters have 2 terminal covers on them. This is so that Contractors can isolate and rewire the tails. Where outside meters are used, some supply authorities require a double pole isolator where the tails enter the building.

I do a lot of work in Superstores, and they all have a system whereby in the event of a Fire Alarm, The gas shut-off valve operates and dampers shut the Air supply AND extract/return air ducts. Its standard procedure and also common sense.

SWA has to be terminated properly and if you havent done it before its highly likely you will make a pigs ear of it. I did explain the way to do it to someone else but I had more time then and I cant remember where it is now...just looked. I'll have another look later....or type it all out again :x

They should be fine as long as you move the insulation away from the lights and trannies if fitted. Make sure you have at least 6-8" of space around them. Putting a box around them will serve no purpose and you certainly dont need to provide some sort of heat flue. After all there is a loft...

If you are coming from behind the Consumer unit and you want to use conduit, why do you want to use SWA? Depending on the load 6mmor 10mm would be ok if inside conduit. SWA can be run on its own using fixing cleats but you need to terminate it into a metal box using the correct glands. Did you...

Once you have worked out your daily consumption, compare it with a daily reading from your meter. Do this a few times until you have proof. Maybe even get a witness to check the figures or even post them back here for us to analyse. Then hit them with a counter charge because that sticker tells...

There is nothing on the market that is fire proof except MICC. So last century? This isnt Gucci we're talking about here. Its the best practical solution for a fire alarm per se. It is still specified so it is still modern. In my experience, those who dislike it have problems when installing it.

If people are not savvy with MICC they shouldnt use it. Installed properly it will last forever.

Get a smack from the missus ? She wont notice if shes in the kitchen will she? :lol:
