For some reason, my oven and hob are not working. I can't believe for one minute that both devices are broken at the same time. I've noticed that the red light on the switch box next to it is off. Is it likely to be the switch box or something further along the line such as the main fuse box?

I've just installed my new cctv system which works brilliantly during the day. However, at night, the halogen lighting in the porch blinds the camera lense. I've repositioned the direction of the halogen light but it prevents the IR from switching on. As a result, the camera can see only who or...

I have just bought a new cctv system for my building. But my neighbour has just informed me that as we are registered at companies house as a business, I need to register it before using. Our building is totally residential but we are listed at companies house as a non-profit making business...

I bought a wireless ip camera from Maplin today, but somehow during setup, I have been locked out from logging onto the ip. I've already deinstalled from and reinstalled software to my pc, but this has not undone the lock out. The manual which is confusing to say the least, is no help...

I am interested in getting cctv in the building I live. There are 11 flats. We were keen to avoid chasing/tracking walls due to the amount of work it would involve and the cost, although we won't rule it out for future major reworks. I was interested in a system which could start off as...

I have a wd860 hotpoint washer dryer which will not work. The digital display says 'H20' which according to the manual means that there is a water problem. I have checked the hose which is not kinked and I have checked the water pressure which seems fine. I have pressed the start/cancel...

The cold water supply to my flat is very poor - about 0.5 bars. I have spoken to Thames Water who say they are required by law to supply good pressure to the 3rd floor only. But I'm on the 6th floor of a large Victorian building. They say that I may install a pump straight off the cold water...

I want to connect a light switch to two ceiling lights. The power supply is in a ceiling rose 3 meters away from the wall switch. I don't know how to insert illustration that I've drawn in this post but you can see it by clicking on...

My very old Valiant combi boiler needs to be replaced. Nat Grid capped off the supply after I smelt gas and the plumber who came later couldn't get the rusted pump off. It appears to be truly welded to the pipe work inside the boiler. Anyway, it's a very old gas guzzling open flame pilot...

The lights in my flat have been tripping out repeatedly over the last week. I have 12 volt halogen lights dotted throughout the property I've isolated the problem to two control panels with tripple switches - one for the hall way (two bulbs), one for the kitchen (5 bulbs) and one for the...

I need an immersion timer with a booster button that can be controlled. For example, I would like to set the booster to come on for just 15 to 20 minutes and then to switch itself off. Does anyone know of a digital immersion time with this specification?

In my new flat which was developed before I purchased, I have discovered so many problems including lcd thermostats for underfloor heating which are beyond my comprehension The make of the thermostat is Timegard (tpt44). I haven't got a clue how to work them. I've read the instructions which...

Having posted the below message and received answers that there might be a bad connection, I checked the wiring but couldn't see anything wrong. Nonetheless, I removed the thermostat and wired back in. Unfortunately, after just half an hour of the heating being on, the water is still...

A bought a property recently with an immersion heater. The water was scolding. I tried to vary the thermostatic setting, but the temperature was always too hot to touch. I visited the local plumbing shop who recommended that I change the thermostat. After changing the device, the temperature...
