Thanks for the reply. yep it sits at 1 (ish) bar when off - it only drops below this if its gone over 3 when running - i assume because the pressure relief is letting some water out?. when on, even when turned down it hits 3 or just below within 10-20 minutes. so if its at the back can i...

Hello Everyone. my ravenheat 820/20 is hitting >3bar when running the CH and so is passing water out through the safety relief valve. I've been a good boy and read the FAQs and they seem to point me toward 'REPRESSURISING THE PRESSURE VESSEL'. I have a few questions: 1) Is this a DIY job or...

Yep sorry its says 80Amp, .03a which i presume is 30ma? i know all circuits shoulnt be on this but the CU was in here when i moved in, i think new split load CU is on the cards. we do get nuisance trips that kill all power.

All circuits on my CU are covered by an 80ma RCD, just installed a whirlpool bath and it came with an 30ma RCD. Should this be used even if spurring off the ring main that is covered by the RCD on the CU? if so why? P.s. i know this is notifiable. mostly curious

Sorry didnt really mean directly under bath, i can see it read that way. i mean in the room under the bath (utility!) Any answer to my specific question regarding wiring the earth tail ?

Thanks for the reply. pullcord is not in any of the zones., lighting is covered by the RCD on the CU (80ma). its an older CU and not split load so the RCD covers all circuits. we get lots of nuisance trips when bulbs blow etc :) If he's not going to bond at all (which i think is his...

Dextrous - thanks for the reply - seriously, just sand and cement bed??? even onto floorboard? not questioning the advice, just wouldn't have crossed my mind..

Thanks for the replies. i'm not worried about a fault developing, i could get access through utility room ceiling if absolutely nessesary (even if expensive) , i'm worried about someone getting electrocuted (kids splashing in the bath etc), suppose earthing & rcd would prevent this?

I'd prefer stone resin any day, but this is a dedicated tray for the enclosure. its a HSK so i was dissapointed to find it was acrylic! Its 5mm, backed with carronite (or similar) so theres no flexing (i'd still prefer resin. Thanks for the replies, i'm gathering expanding foam is best...

I'm about to fit a 5mm acrylic shower tray - how can i bed it to get it level?? with a stone resin one i can bed in on tile adhesive or something, how do i do so with this?

Hello All, Just gutting and refitting the bathroom, part of which used to be the landing (long story, past owner). Was just doing first fit and found lots of cables under various parts of the floor - these range from ring main to lighting - they dont feed anything in the bathroom, just run under...

Hello all. i'm looking at the possibility of putting a turn into our existing straight stairs and whilst looking at the joists on the top landing i've found that the stairs aren't supported in the manner i'm used to - if at all! I was expecting the top of the stairs to be leaning against the...

Forget to say, i'm secret nailing... Thanks for the reply woodyoulike. - is it because of cupping in the old boards or to prevent it in the new? Any thoughts on using spongy underlay with secret nailing? BTW, do you sell osmo products?

Hello again. just about to lay (finally) Solid 20mm T&G oak on top of existing pine t&g floor. have been advised to use sisalkraft 420 building paper between the layers. just wanted to ask too is there any merit in using the 3mm foam stuff too? sub floor is even, i'm only thinking of it for...
