Hi all. I plugged in a faulty appliance that caused the main breaker to trip so the panel lost power. It went into alarm mode, and the first thing I did was head for the panel, but no power on it? No LED's or keypad lighting? the bell box is mounted low down as it is on an outhouse - and...

yeah we have put 2 noggins in as well put I'm just wondering if expanding foam or grip fill pumped in between the joists and the brickwork would be better to stop them twisting?

Hi all, I've taken down my lounge ceiling and exposed the floor joists above, I notice there are pretty big gaps either side of them, so they move about and can twist What is the best method of securing them? I'm thinking either expanding foam or grip fill? Cheers

so the 350 wall mounts somewhere remote does it? Thanks

Hi all. Im looking to get the above boiler and controller fitted. Im confused about the controller, does it sit in the boiler fascia? If so i guess i would need to access the boiler to override the timed functions? Is it possible to also fit a room stat for manual override control? Thanks

guys, what kind of soak-away would be needed for the condensing output? I thought it would just be pure water, or is there something harmful?

thanks guys. Well he has come back with £1950 for a Worcester Greenstar 29cdi and timer + flue parts. Sounds a little steep to me really as I have just seen this model for about 1k?

Oh dear what have I started :roll: That was a rough quote I think, he said he would get back to us with a more official one. I think that is all the work that needs doing. Although the current boiler is so close to the back door frame that I could not really box it in properly so I would...

well, had a man around today to check the old one old, he did some poking around and said we need a new one. Fired it up and seemed ok but a seal or something has now blown and as soon as I put any pressure in the system at all, it comes straight back out again! He thinks Valliant are the...

Hi, thanks for the reply! Its only me and my lady at the moment, and no sign of any kids yet ;) so I guess a combi would still be the way to go, especially seems as we already have one fitted. Are there any brands that are known to be more eco friendly than others, or any that are prone to...

anyone? Are combis the most efficient these days?

Thanks for the advice, I will get the big dogs round first then for a quote. But doesn't sound like I'm going to be impressed with the outcome! So combi's are the most efficient then?

Hi all, not that long moved into a new place which has a Worcester 350 combi fitted. It needs to go, recently leaking and very tired! Not sure what would be the best way to go now for value for money, British gas and the like or use a private installer / company? Should I stick with a combi...

Hi, I think its more like 10mm and a long story but nothing I can do about it now lol. its above the cooker where there are no tiles (used thin stainless steel as a splash back) hmmm loo roll would work I guess but it will get a little warm and might be messy?

Hi all. I have almost finished doing the kitchen. I have a gap of about 10-15mm down the back of the hob (between the worktop and the wall). I could just fill it with silicone or caulking but I'd rather not because a lot will go in there lol. A few years ago I used to work as a window fitter...

Thanks for the reply - not quite sure what you mean by this though? - and the usual one is; As you are `adding ` circuit` it needs to be done by a PART P contractor (i know its a pain but you have to be informed of this, if you don't want to have ana electrical contractor do it, thats...

Hi, thanks I did think that about the spur, I'll change it for a non switched one. Although the consumer unit is mounted directly below it and one of the breakers is labelled 'security system' lol. Would an installer leave it like that?

Hi all, Just got the the stage where I need to feed the cables into my alarm back box. I have put a switched spur right under the unit. What size cable do I have to use to run into the alarm? 2.5mm seems a bit overkill seems as the current will be tiny? Thanks

Thanks, I didn't know if it was regs or something :)

Hi all, I need to fit a thermostat to my fairly old boiler. It uses a mains powered stat, so I need to run live, neutral, earth and switch wire to my stat. Can I use 1.5m 3 core + earth or does it have to be 2.5mm 3 core + earth? The boiler says it needs a 3 amp spur for power so there...
