Forgive my ignorance, but I'm assuming 'Part P' is some kind of regulations that you need to be qualified in before doing certain electrical jobs? What kind of price should I pay for a replacement and fitting then, if I need to get a plumber in and can't do this myself?

Thanks for all the speedy replies! The unit has been in place for a few years now, so it's not like it hasn't done it's time, I was just trying to see if I could save a few pennies. If I got a replacement unit, would it be fairly straightforward to replace? Or does it need a pro? I'm...

I've noticed that one of the overflow pipes that comes out of my first floor flat is constantly dripping. I first noticed it when my shower and sink got blocked-up recently and I assumed it was because of that. I unblocked the shower and sink using a plunger (and brute force) and the water...
