Why, what is wrong mate?

I am the installer

not sure about watts but they are 50amp each

This is exactly my thoughts ^^^ I think it's a thermal conduction prob. But as I am not an expert I'm open to other routes of investigation. What is a type C?

Hmmm, OK... what sort of wiring fault would cause this? Just for further info - All the wires between the lights are new, the lights are new, the breakers are new, the consumer box is new. (when I say new I mean about 4 monts old) I just think it's a bit odd that one 6 amp will trip and the...

It keeps triping even if you leave it for 20mins etc. We have got it to come on now, it's been off for a few hours. But can be on for a week and not trip at all. It deffinatly happens when we get busy (people using the sunbeds one after another etc) so I am thinking it might be heat...

They are all 240v mains 50w halogen spot lights... All new (well a few months old), all tight. I think it could be a bad breaker... not sure.

Hi, My lights keep tripping in my shop - is there anything I can do? Nothing else is tripping, sunbeds, sockets etc stay on. I have x2 6 amp breakers, one for the front room and one for the back room. The front room has x13 240v 50w halogen spots The back room has x6 240v 50w halogen...

eeek that's a lot. I helped a mate put in his combi didn't seem like that much work he had to pay to get the gas tested for leaks. Is it going to be expensive because I am getting the old stuff stripped out? Maybe I should do the majority of the work myself. I am not as confident as my...

the rads are unsightly / rusted be a lot of work to get them upto scratch. they also have no thermostat control on them... all the pipe is very thin bendy stuff I don't know if that's an additional prob when replacing them. re-mortgage? does a condensing combi install really cost that much...

I have british gas coming to give me a quote on Monday.

PS... I can do basic plumbing, so fitting / replacing rads might be something I can do.

Hi, I want to re-new my heating and hot water system. At the moment I have: - Potterton Flamingo 40 in the kitchen running the central heating. Radiators old. - Cylinder (red insulation wrapped) in the back bedroom for the hot water (hot water has a fault on it - prob a blockage...

Put the shuttering in last night I have been round it with a spirit level and across it as well and all is level with path. Sub base will be droped outside the garden tomorrow so a lot of shoveling to come. Sub base material is crushed concrete called MOT1. The bits are 4mm. Will I need a...

thanks JohnD your comments are very welcome feel free. yes it would be better doing as you suggest and I did think hard on it but I am gonna take a chance. I agree the path isn't laid perfect but it's OK, it's has expantion joints (I think so whoever did lay it at least attempted to do it...

I have decided to bring the base up to the level of the path. Can you tell me the right order to do things in please. Is this right: 1. Clear top soil 2. Put in shuttering to same level as path, or do I do this after sub base is down and compacted? 3. Put in a level sub base (I will be...

Hi, I am laying a garage base... I have a path that runs round the side of the house. I want to use all the space at the side as a car port or garage base. So... should I just lay the concrete up to come level with the path? or should I dig up the path and lay the whole thing lower...

Thanks for the reply Adam My GF's home so can explain better about the beds and how people turn up (they averagely do 6 mins each on the beds): 9am-12 you prob get about 6 people in normally one bed at a time so that's no problem 12-4pm you could get 12 people, so both beds would be in use...

Thanks for the explanation - yes sounds like a very good idea (100A MCCB). OK we guesstimate that the beds will be used about 20 hours a week. The usage will be a bit sporadic but in between clients will be about 5 mins or so (that's roughly the time to get changed, put deodorant on etc)...
