Hi , When you suggest pics outside , the property is normal to look at with nothing abnormal or unusual visually. Also the extention is historic so I am unable to provide any info on the erection of it.

Hello, My property has an extension which is an added Dining Room with a bedroom above. The walls in the Bedroom have developed cracks running top to bottom in the corners where the extension has been added. The pictures attached show that there are two steel beams running across the pillars...

I need to put something on the dividing wall between my bungalow and next door as we can both hear noises from either side. One 'problem ' I have is that it has all been newly plastered and I have coving. The Ceilings and coving have all been painted. I suppose I am trying to say I don't want...

I am misting new plaster (3 weeks old almost). I have made the mix 50/50. Will it be necessary for a second coat?.

Hi Not sure why you have mentioned that? Would you mind educating the uneducated? Lol

Hi Thanks for your suggestion but guess who has found a leak in Cupboard where Cylinder is! Looks like I will probably have it stripped out and a Combi installed . Nevermind

Thank you both for your replies.

Hi, I want to change this Boiler (Greenstar) not a Combi. I am hoping there will be someone on this site who can suggest a replacement where the pipes and flue are the same in the Picture and go in through the top so I know what to shop for. I really do not want pipework alteration around the...

Thank you. I am attaching a photo of my electric 'set up'. Does this make any difference to anything said. I appreciate all the advice.

Well I thought I would post an update on this subject. The sparks I am using has assured me that using two 13amp plugs in a device designed to accept two 13amp plugs is acceptable and that he has installed Hobs and Ovens this way before with no issues. I shall accept his word and his work...

No it wasn't on this site just had a conversation with someone who had system installed from fresh thats all so I don't know why they have a Switch. All I know is that where I want my oven and hob to be the only 'available' electrics nearby is a Double wall socket

Ok. Thank you. As there has never been an Electric Oven installed previously so this is a New installation rather than replacement of Oven and Hob I expect the job to be more complex especially as someone else is saying I need a Double- Pole cooker switch. For crying out loud we've gone from two...

Thanks for your reply but that now raises the question of why is my washing machine and freezer ok on a Double especially also considering both the hob and oven can be run on 13amp each? Baffled????

I may ask the sparks to place the socket where the next cupboard will be

I am going to have both an Electric Hob and Oven (first time) and these will be the Plug in Models. I do not want the Double Electric Socket on show, so the question is, is it acceptable for it to be immediately behind but just above the Oven unit under the worktop and therefore out of sight...

Thanks. Plaster said Artex would need bonding.

British Gas who did the job. I have inherited the set up as I have just bought the property.

Can a 45amp cable (for cooker) be fed through the Bungalow under the Floor boards? (Legally I mean, not Physically).

I am attaching 3 photo's. The first is where the cable runs across kitchen from Boiler and through wall above a cupboard which houses the Water Cylinder. The second shows the same running down Bathroom wall. The third shows where it ends up in the Cupboard with Timer etc connected. Question is...

Just been quoted £2250.00 for Plastering Labour only for the following; Room 1 10 x 10 Room 2 10.6 x 7.6 Room 3 17.6 x 10.2 This includes Ceilings and the biggest one is Artexed. Some walls have got patches where plaster has blown, about 6 in all. Does the above price sound reasonable ...
