Metal detector confirmed that it goes vertical all down. Brackets are in now. Thanks.

Thank you. So there are no "zones" regarding gas pipes? I will give it a go with the metal detector.

Hi all I need to install two L brackets to support the worktop at the corner where the washing machine goes and I want double check before drilling. I have not been able to find anything about gas pipes zones on a quick Google search. Is it safe to drill where I have marked the brackets...

The insulation is under the black plastic film. I only removed the one to the exterior wall. But I will install it back before filling up. There is plastic film already there. I guess omething like this will work? Yes, there was polystyrene against the external wall. I will replace it, or...

Good point!!! I feel embarrased now. It is the blue bit.

Hi I need to fill these "trenches" that I dug out for moving the kitchen? What materials are to be used here in UK? I was expecting concrete with a top finish cement/fine arids top layer, but from what I removed, it is the same material top to bottom. For background, I'm Spanish, and I am not...

Finally I made it. Wish me luck for the next 20 years!!!

Shameless self bump... Any help with this? It is safe to use speedfit fittings for the use case?

Those are good points. I planned to move the existing boiler line circuit to the grid for this only switch. I can add a fuse on the grid also. It is allowed to move the grid switch panel inside a cabinet? That would be "easily" doable. The issue with hiding the boiler switch inside the...

Hi We are renovating our kitchen and the layout is changing. The current layout has the sing just in line with the water meter sitting outside. I need to move the stopcock across two walls and return with the mains feed to the original position. The current location of the water mains inlet...

Just the kitchen boiler (in cabinet) for the central heating. The inmersion tank is upstairs with a separate isolator.

Hi everyone. Thi sis my first post here. Dont be too hard on me please!!! So, We are renovating our kitchen and the splashbacks are fancy ceramic ones matching the worktop. To minimise the visual impact, I was wondering if locating the boiler isolator on the grid switch panel with a double...
