I know I had concerns about him touching the gas because it's illegal isn't it unless corgi reg? Will he give me a certificate as a matter of course when the CORGI plumbs the hob or do I need to ask for one. Thanks

Is there any reason why I can't butt floor tiles together? I am about to tile my kitchen floor and have dry laid some tiles and I prefer the look without a grout line ie laying the tiles butted next to each other. Are there any issues/problems with doing this? Many Thanks

I have just bought (not delivered yet) a single built in oven. On the spec it states that it can be just simply plugged into a socket via a 13 amp plug. What are peoples views on this, will it not overload the ring main? (I do not have the power consumption figures). I was all set to...

How do you pros cut large cable? I am in the process of replacing my 10mm cooker cable and was wondering what is the best way of cutting it? Many Thank

I am about to start tiling my kitchen floor. I've tiled bathroom and kitchen floors before but I just want advise on how to get the professional look. The kitchen floor is relatively square and all base units have been removed so it's a blank canvas. My question is where do I start? In...

Thanks for the quick reply guys. I ask because I notice the price of SWA is quite high but I suppose if you have to buy seperate ducting if not using then it works out more cost effective to use SWA from the start. Thanks Again.

Aparts from the regs requirement could somebody explain why SWA cable needs to be used over normal cable when working outdoors. For example why not 10mm cable running in steel ducting theng buried rather than 10mm SWA buried? Just curious. Many Thanks

thanks clf-gas for the more informative reply. That is exactly what I am doing moving the cooker about 3 feet from it's current location. But I will get a CORGI in, I don't want to mess with gas. Thanks again.

Thanks, Only asking that's why I asked.

Can a DIYER adjust the routing of a 15mm copper pipe feeding my cooker in my kitchen so as to free up more space? And are compression joints allowed to be used on gas connections? Many Thanks

thanks davy for the quick reply. Would a 40amp mcb on the house CU be ok for this? Thanks again

Could someone please advise me what would be the correct size cable to run from my house CU then 30m in conduit underground to my garage where it will terminate in a RCD CU (1x6amp MCB and 1x32amp MCB) at the garage. I am thinking 6mm SWA??? This will power a ring main and lighting circuit...

thanks for the reply, yes I am aware of part P. Theneondoes light very dim but nevertheless does light. This can't be right.

yes all is right I am baffled by this

After installing a mini (RCD & 2 MCBs) CU in my garage I tested the screws, with my neon tester, which are on the outside of the case and they are showing live when touched with my neon tester. Obviously this is very dangerous and I have turned off the circuit till fixed. What could this be...

thanks for the replies, as stated I have not gone live with this as I was also concerned about the safety of the cable coming off the kitchen ring. I will run directly off the house CU with the 4mm cable.Many Thanks
