    Consumer Unit Location

    Thanks again Adam One of the builders suggested that we'd probably have to install mains smoke/heat detectors as part of the extension to satisfy BC..I might as well plan for it now. The other route to cheap emergency lighting for the CU..is one of those battery operated push lights...as...

    Consumer Unit Location

    Thanks Adam. Yes the plan is that the CU end of the wardrobe would be sectioned off from the rest to ensure there's always access and it doesn't get covered with junk.

    Consumer Unit Location

    Broken drain pipe - how to repair

    Hi Just spent the afternoon rodding the drains as I had two manholes full of you know what. I think I've found the problem - I think a drain has been broken about 2' before the last manhole. Reasons for this deduction are that the last manhole was clear but had a fair bit of soil in and...
