Decided to have windows replaced. Had a quote and they told me that I would need to have lintels installed in the openings as none exist and building regs now stipulate this. That is fine but I was wondering how much work is involved. The quote for installing lintels is only slightly less than...

Put it on II as suggested and things do seemed to have calmed down but still noisier than it was but noises more from boiler than pump. I notice too that there is a white dry residue down the side of the pump at the seam. The pump was only changed in 2017.

You know, somehow I had a feeling you would come back with something like that.

Hi, it is an Ideal Evo HE

Hi, I have a Grundfos Alpha2 15-60 130 pump and I am not convinced it on the correct setting. I had a new additional radiator added recently and the setting on the pump was changed at the time. Since then the system has been noisier than it was before and I find I am having to bleed one of the...

Taps were extra. She reckons he was there 90 mins. So it sounds like yet another example of our fine and upstanding tradesmen in action.

Hello, my old mum needed some new taps fitting on her bath. She contacted Age Concern who put her onto a plumber and he charged her £150. About right ?

Thanks for comprehensive and helpful response. It does surprise me there is no isolation for this outside tap.

Got an outside tap on the side of an extension built in the 80's, the tap and the pipe look to be contemporary with the extension. When we finally thawed out water began spraying from the pipe at a joint near the ground. The joint is where the pipe that runs up the wall connects to a supply pipe...

I bought a 'heavy' punch bag, (approx. 30kg) with the intention of hanging it in a garage. The garage is single storey, brick, flat-roofed and attached to the house sharing the wall with the hall & stairs etc. and is sturdy, built at the same time as the house (50's). The roof of the garage is...

Er, have I missed something?

Thanks for the replies. I appreciate it is not an elegant solution but wanted to know if it was doable. The socket is in a cupboard, i.e. permanently dark. I have had a look through my old strepsils tin with my fuses in and no 1A - but there is a 2A, fancy that. Cheers

I have an outside light to fit, it is not a full on security light and the idea is to illuminate a door from dusk for a few hours each night. Due to the location of the light connecting it to existing power is going to be a pain. However, on the internal wall of where the light is ideally to be...

Thanks for the replies

My Candy fan oven conked out tripping the fuse box. Fan works and grill works but no heat from oven. I am assuming it is the oven element that has gone but I noticed the oven light has gone at the same time which made me wonder if there was some other problem? Also, if it is the element is...

My dinner was in the oven last night ! It was the kitchen sockets in the end.

The radiator isn't actually working but their is a power light. I tried turning off all the breakers one by one except for the ones labelled cooker and kitchen sockets but the power light on the radiator stayed on.

yes there is

Yes the unit has RCD's.

Have moved into a property that has an electric ladder type radiator in the bathroom. The unit has a switched fuse spur. The switch is located in the bathroom underneath the radiator and near the floor. Is this a correct installation? I am concerned about there being a switch in the bathroom at...
