TTC, that was my intention, but now I know that it isn't an option. I've thrown that one out of the window. As to the question of my capabilities for this kinda work, ideally, no I shouldn't be doing it myself. I am competent to a point after rewiring my own house and a couple more under...

Thanks for all the replies chaps. So... If I have this straight... EITHER, I have no shower, OR I need to replace the cable with 10mm2 AND replace the breaker with a 50a MCB to run a 10.5kw shower. Is there a safe option for fitting a new shower on the current setup? (6mm2 and 32a MCB)...

And there is a 'Residual Current Operated Circuit Breaker' on the consumer unit.

Nope, got it wrong... is a 6mm cable. (compared 6mm & 10mm cable reels I have in the loft). definitely 6mm.

So, will a 10.5kw shower run on a 32a MCB and be safe if that breaker matches the cable load rating (which is what the original installer went for)? All the instruction manuals for all three power ratings recommend a minimum of 40a and replacing the cable at the moment is a bigger job than we...

It looks to be a 10mm2 cable.

Good evening. Yesterday, my electric shower blew (all sorts of melted wires in there!!) so I'm installing a new one. I've just checked the consumer unit as to fit a 10.5kw unit it is suggested I connect it via a 45a MCB. As it turns out, I have a 32a MCB (MEM 321QEB). Is this directly...

Thank you. The PVA to the block work was just to deal with the residual dust, so I'll go ahead with that. Wasn't sure if I needed to do anything else to the blocks. I'm guessing I can drill through the boards and send a plug and screw through to the wall behind once the Dri-Wall has gone...

Hi All, I know there is every likelihood that this subject has been covered, but I cannot find the answers to all of my questions in one place, so if someone has the time, I was looking for a bit of a walk through if possible? I'm replacing an entire bathroom and whilst removing the...

We still believe the place will sell as it is, but the sale price of a recently sold house (2 doors down, exactly the same set up, but with a nicer kitchen and gardens) was over twenty grand higher than the valuation of this house. This leads me to believe that the ceiling price of ours is much...

My girlfriend and her sister wish to sell a house that they own together. It's a bit tired, and even after 'freshening the paint' I still don't believe we have optimised the value of the property. The anaglypta paper is peeling around the windows and showing damp/mould (usual signs of...

Thanks for the reply, I kinda figured that would be the solution but wanted to hear it from someone else! This weekend I'll mostly be buying bulk filler and sandpaper!!

Thanks for the quick reply! Will try Gardenlaw and hopefully I can get things moving and enjoy the summer in my own garden!!

I live in a Victorian Terrace, with back gardens that back onto other terrace gardens! A couple of years ago I came downstairs to see that my garden was full of the remains of my old outhouse (and half of the neighbours'!) and the rest of the garden wall. The gardens that back onto ours are...

Hey Rouhcaster, It appears to me that you may be the person to help me out! Over the past couple of years, I've pretty much had my whole house re-plastered. This has involved two unassociated "professionals" on seperate occasions and myself. (due to costs and time I've had to do alot of...
