Hope someone could help with an issue ive got with a new power shower? I have a lower pressure, gravity fed system and have recently replaced the power shower and also am just about to install a 2nd shower in other bathroom...I have made the entire house high pressure by bypassing everything...

Hi all, hoping someone can give me some advice on sealing a Marble Sink we have just fitted? We have some QEP Tile sealer which is from B&Q; would this be suitable? It says it can be used on Marble, along with other natural products like travertine, slate, limestone, terracotta etc Any...

Just a quick addition to the last post : There is an adjustable thermostat on the side of the immersion tank set to 60 degrees C (its about half way up on the tank and towards the front) - Is that the one for the immersion element or would it be under the cap as most are? Thanks

Thank you for all your speedy replies. I wonder why the tanks are made to only withstand the lower temperatures when this is a problem that is potentially fatal?! Is it a big deal changing the stat? It seems accessible enough but do you have to drain the tank ? I am happy to get a...

Hi, I hope someone can help? I have an immersion heater that, if it is left on for more than 45mins, will start to boil the water in the header tank in the loft! So, I have to time how long to have the heater on and then switch it off manually or have the oil central heating on but thats a...

HI all, I just bought some quater shere uplighter wall fittings from wickes. They are max 60W single bulb. I have just removed some metal light fittings to replace with these new ceramic ones but noticed the new ceramic fittings do NOT have an earth point. Im guessing because they are...

Ok, its all up and running and no loud BANGS....yet! Thanks again everyone, there is no way I could have done it without you. Next is the tiling... :shock: Cheers all...see you again sometime soon no doubt! Andrew

Ok im just installing a 13 amp socket running off the cooker point as Steve suggested. Can I run the 2 metre 6mm cable from the cooker point down under the shelf the oven sits in and bring it just to the front of the unit so I can get to the plug to change fuses easily etc ? And is it ok to...

Ok thanks very much Steve. I will do as you suggested & run a socket off the cooker point and plug the oven into that. Thanks again!

Thanks for the great replies...really helpful. The reason I mentioned the 'use a beefier cable' was because I was wondering if its ok to remove the plug off the cable and hardwire it directly into the cooker point? I can see there is quite a difference in cable size between the hob cable and...

This is the specs of the hobs and oven: 4 x Hobs: 1 x 1.2kW zone, 1 x 1.4kW zone, 1 x 1.8kW Zone, 1 x 1.0/2.2kW Dual Zone. Oven : 2.4kW As I do not really know much about 'Diversity' etc. Could you tell me from looking at those specs whether a 32amp circuit would cover it? If it does...

Hi, I have just ripped out some old worktops and replaced with new and at the same time decided to replace the sink, oven & hobs. The hobs sat on top of the worktop and the oven was seated into the unit below. They were both hardwired into a point at the back of the oven on the wall. That...

:shock: Its an oil burner so hopefully I wont have to worry about re-filling it????? Should I bleed the radiators? Can't believe its not marked or something for dumbo's like me! Thanks for the replies! :D

Hi, I havent been living in this house for long. I have just found what appears to be an outside garden tap but it didnt have a handle on it - this could have just been lost. When I opened the valve/tap with a spanner a load of gunk splurted out, then it cleared and now its warm/hot water, the...

The tank does have a sight guage pipe but it has never worked plus I have just noticed that it DOES have water in the pipe. The valve at the bottom of the sight guage pipe appears to be open.

There are 2 filters - 1 at the tank and 1 in the pump. :roll:

My boiler is working again!!! :) Had a really helpful, friendly engineer come out and he replaced the pump & nozzle for a nice price. The nozzle was all blocked up and even with a high pressure pump & soaking in boiling water he couldnt get it clear. The tank must have run dry & a load of...

What could be out of adjustment? The photocell? I noticed it was quite loose when I first pulled it out. I then wiped it and pushed firmly back into its housing.....still didnt fire :cry: If there is no spark, would I have to replace the electrodes? As soon as the 'click' happens...

Thanks for the replies.... I haven't heard any buzzing at all proir to lock out. All I can hear is the pump/fan and then a 'click' as if the electrodes are sparking or something like that???? I have pulled out the photocell and given it a wipe; it wasnt dirty in the 1st place though??? It...

Thanks for the reply Dick Puller (!!!) I am not sure it was 100% empty in the tank, but I had checked a week or so back and it was getting 'low'. My mrs feels the cold so it wouldnt suprise me if it had been run dry. It was foolish of me not to check before I had it refilled - lesson...
