Thank you all for taking the time to respond.

Woody / JohnD Thank you for your responses. My flat does not have a communal access it has an outside staircase which leads onto a balcony up to the front door. At the top of the stairs it goes left to my flat and right to the other flat on the 1st floor. So, only the occupants of my flat use...

No idea as yet. I want to install a composite door if possible rather than a solid wood door. Think there may be issues of what material they should be made out of since Grenfall. Just want to make sure that I know what regs/standards I should be working too hence why I contacted building...

I have a an ex-local authority 1st floor flat which is part of a block of four flats that I rent out. Two on the ground level and two on the 1st floor. There is an external concrete open staircase leading up to the 1st floor and then my flat has a small balcony leading up to the exterior front...

Think the heating element must of gone probably due to it's age.

Thanks Terryplumb

Hi my son's shower has packed up and there seems to be a newer version of his current model with the same KW rating can this just be changed like for like. I have looked at the installation guide for this current model and it recommends having an RCD fitted. Does this apply to a straight swap...

Hi It was a very odd size and looked a really old style and I have not been able to find a similar size with a rigid plastic ducting pipe going into the loft which is smaller than the current 4 inch flexible ducting. So thought it was easier to re-site and tile over where the old extractor was...

Hi My son is currently fitting a new bathroom suite in his flat and the bathroom had an extractor fan on the wall that has never worked since they moved in. It was a really old style fitted on the wall and the power was fed from the light switch. Looking to put a Manrose SF100 in line shower...

Thanks deadshort for the quick reply. I was taking the information from a diagram from the shower manual which showed it going through the main CU. I won't get any more bits I will just hand over the unit to the electrician to sort out.

Hi I have purchased a shower CU with RCD and an MCB 50A. The shower they are buying is rated at 40/45A. The main CU is an old type that you pull the cartridges out (fuse wire). From what I have seen on the shower instructions the main CU needs to have either an MCB or have a fuse fitted and I...

Thanks John Found out what it was. Forgot that the gas boiler is on the same switch and when I turned this off everything was OK. As soon as I switched the power back on to the boiler it tripped so did some investigation and turns out I have a leak on a motorised valve which was dripping onto a...

Hi I have had the RCD trip out on about 3 occasions over the last month or so at varying times. When I go to reset it, it does not stay on until I switch off the downstairs socket switch for the kitchen area and then everything works fine. If I try to switch the downstairs sockets on after a...

Hi Managed to find an online manual so thread closed Many thanks Mark

Thanks JJ for the reply.

Hi I have got a code F15 again and the heating element seems to have gone again. Just want to know can I take the two spade terminals off the heating element and link them together so at least the machine can be used for washing still until I can order myself a new machine. Many thanks Mark

Hi rocks1 It states that it is a genuine part so maybe just one of those things. The condenser is clear as I cleaned all the fluff out when it went faulty first time round.

The heating element lasted about 6 weeks before going faulty again. I have received a replacement and this has been fitted but I now get the odd error code F13 which I believe is a sensor error. Am I correct in this assumption. As the element has gone a couple of times in quick succession is...

Hi I have a Megaflo CL210 that I periodically have to replenish the airgap and wondered whether someone could answer a couple of questions I have. Firstly when I replenish the air gap and open TPR valve it seems to take at least 20 minutes and can still hear gurgling. I have noticed that the...

Did pour a couple of pints of water but will give it a bit of pressure. Thanks for your help
