    Combi Boiler - Won’t fire in Winter Mode

    It’s an old Heatline C24 I think the model is. There’s no external controls, only the timer at the boiler. I tried it in timer mode and also just on and left it for a few minutes but the heating didn’t fire. I tried for HW and it didn’t fire either. I put it back to ‘summer’ mode (ie HW only)...

    Combi Boiler - Won’t fire in Winter Mode

    Hello, We have a combi boiler in a property that we rent out. The tenants have had the boiler in summer mode for a while for HW. The boiler has been working great. They’ve switched over to ‘Winter’ mode now for heating and hot water but the heating won’t come on with the timer or even in on...

    Washing Machine in the Bathroom

    Thanks, I did. The most recent one I found was over two years old so I thought I best check that nothing had changed since then.

    Washing Machine in the Bathroom

    Sorry, that wasn't too clear. What I meant was that the edge of the WM would be no further than 1m from the edge of the bath i.e. the max distance between the bath and the WM would be 1m.

    Washing Machine in the Bathroom

    Hello, Currently pricing up a major refurb of a property of which I'm hopeful of getting the job. The architects drawings already have BC approval. One of the things the architect has suggested/drawn that the client fully supports is the washing machine being relocated into what will be the...

    Recessed LED Light (Square) - Reputable Manufacturer

    Thanks for the replies. I did check LEDHut before and whilst they don't have any square fittings they do have some dimmable 10W round downlights that are slightly bigger than existing if I can't find good quality square ones. Agreed about Aurora. I have 3 other lights in the house that are...

    Recessed LED Light (Square) - Reputable Manufacturer

    Hello, We have some unsightly chrome square downlight (6) in our bedroom. The cutout is approx 95mm square per light. Rather than patch the ceiling + plaster + redecorate I thought I'd have a look for some more discreet fittings. Found these on eBay that look ideal. Does anyone know of a...

    Kitchen - Wiring under worktop appliances and building regs

    For the record here was what I had installed in my kitchen recently: Grid switch for four appliances with legs dropping down and into low level mini trunking 100mm from the ground with surface mounted boxes below the cabinets adjacent to each appliance. Low enough to be below the bottom of the...

    Kitchen - Wiring under worktop appliances and building regs

    Genuine question - Why spend considerable money on a "pretty expensive solid wood kitchen" with a lot of appliances but not pay a professional (to "cut costs") to carry out an important part of the project?

    Grid Switch for Kitchen

    When you have young children who like to press the buttons on the washing machine it can be good to have a means of isolation above the worktop! I appreciate that isolators for all appliances isn't necessary however the house was wired with those FCU's all over the kitchen so it makes sense to...

    Grid Switch for Kitchen

    Planning ahead for a kitchen refurb in my house. Currently have switched FCU's as isolators for all appliances (on a dedicated 'white goods' ring). In addition there are 3 double sockets, cooker switch, FCU for boiler and programmer for boiler. Its a small kitchen and looks very crowded with...

    Removed a Light Fitting Today

    Just a quick update on this for those interested. Electrician inspected and confirmed my original guess was correct. There was a conduit with two singles in it (L, N) and a separate twin and earth alongside that used as the switch wire. The earth on the twin and earth had been cut back...

    Removed a Light Fitting Today

    Interesting point John. Hadn't thought of that. So if that was indeed the case what I would have measuring was across switched live and earth (the light fitting). I don't understand how someone would knowingly do that, if it was the case, and not sleeve the cables accordingly. What may throw...

    Removed a Light Fitting Today

    Both lights had halogen lamps fitted, the first was 50W GU10's and the second was a style I'd never seen before. According to the homeowner both needed replaced often. You could replace the GU10 without touching the body of the light but I would think you would hold it whilst twisting the...
