I've had another quote for a new CU - £360 including fitting. (the first Guy that quoted is busy for nearly a month before he can do any work! - lucky so and so) The new guy checked a few sockets and light fittings and said the wiring was up to scratch but the current CU doesn't have any RCDs...

I'm looking for some advice on this one. Background: I've had a flood and the house is just short of being a building site :( ...so while we're in a mess we've decided to knock the galley kitchen through into the dining room (already have the RSJ fitted and building regs passed), and...

Wiring up a 3 phase power supply for a 400V Tig Welder from a 240v single phase? I am envisaging having to use a convertor of some description if this is the possible. Only reason is that there seem to be a lot of nicely priced second hand 3 Phase TIG welders around at the moment and I...

Thanks shy I have scale drawings (plan and elevation) of the ground floor (i.e. dining room and kitchen, hall and living room) but will need to create some for the bedrooms above. I can also show where the roof load is on other support walls if this makes a difference. Uploading Photo's...

So much for £80-£100! Price Quoted below.... :cry: MINOR WORKS: We can arrange for a structural engineer to visit the property, inspect and provide a full written report together with calculations/sketches adequate for a competent builder to work to and support any Local Authority...

Thanks for the response - you're right. I didn't realise SE's were so cheap, I was expecting more like £500! :roll:

We are knocking through a support wall between a galley kitchen and dining room and I'm looking for some advice on how I should approach this regarding building regs. Getting the actual RSJ installed wont be a problem, I just need to understand what size/type of RSJ I should fit and how much...

These questions are almost identical to the ones I have (other than that my entire underfloor is concrete). I too am looking to use fibre board for imperfections and would like to know the best way of fixing the floorboards in place as you can't nail concrete. 2 additional questions: -...

Been reading up on the ebuild forum and some other sites and I think I'm going to write this project off. What started out as something that looked fairly straight forward from what I saw at B&Q and the local tile shop, is really an expensive job to do properly. These shops offer...

Lovely Thanks! :D

Lovely Thanks! :D

I've searched a few posts in here for advice on underfloor heating but hardly any have replies? :( Is this a taboo subject or are there just no 'experts' on underfloor heating registered on here? :? On the off-chance I get lucky, I'm looking for advice on which supplier of electric...

Problem solved. I turned the boiler off before I started the work and didn't turn it back on again! What a T**T! :oops: Didn't realise until the missus found that she didn't have any hot water for the dishes!

Hi Following a flood which wiped out 4 rooms from a burst upstairs radiator I decided to change the rest of the radiators (They were about 15 years old!) As I replaced the valves either side the radiator as well, I drained the system (with the mains off) I've now changed the valves and...

The small black box on the left is neutral The small black box on the right is love The Box with 4 trips on it are lights and sockets The isolator bottom left is the Garage The Isolator bottom right doesn't feed anything All of this is housed in a large poxy box in the hall, and...

Nice One Thanks! by thick, you mean 50mm?

Hi guys Hope you can help with this one. I'm going to be doing a car project, but the garage is way too small (can't even get the car in when it's empty!), so I'm looking to lay something down in the front garden and pitch a 3m x 6m marqee type assembly over it to do the work in when the...
