Hi. This one is gas hob (4 burners); metal hot plate; ceramic plate warmer, electric oven. Not sure if that makes a difference or not (?)

Folks, I hope someone can help me. I need to fit a new grill switch to my Leisure rangemaster 110. However, I'm struggling to get the control panel off. I've taken off all the knobs + undone the four screws at the bottom of the panel. The bottom end of the panel will now pull out a bit...

Thanks Thermo, I'm grateful for the advice

Can anyone help ?? :(

I’d be grateful for some plastering advice. I’m redecorating a bedroom & will be replacing skirting boards, door skirting (not sure what this is actually called, hope you know what I mean?) & have stripped the wallpaper back to the original plaster. Unfortunately, I used a steam wallpaper...

Oh dear, does nobody know :(

My current fuse box (now with MCBs) needs replacing with a modern consumer unit. The current 'box' is recessed in the wall, in a small cupboard at knee level. Well, shin level to be absolutely anatomically accurate ! Can the new unit go at this level, or must it be higher up the wall, out of...

M, Thanks for the info. I thought I was being a little optimistic ! TP

Thanks for the feedback. I'll see how it goes. TP

All, I have an electric shower that has no RCD protecting it, just a 45A fuse as per the following... Is anyone aware of an RCD that could simply take the place of the cartridge fuse, i.e. I unplug the fuse & put the RCD in it's place ? Or will something a little more sophisticated be...

Folks, I've been in my house for 3 years now, but have never had the boiler serviced (Baxi 2 solo PF). I don't know when (or if) the previous owners had it serviced either ! I'm planning to have it looked at, just for peace of mind, can you suggest how I best find someone genuinely...

Folks, The 'consumer unit in our house needs some attention. It's in the hall, recessed into the wall about 9 inches from the floor. I've replaced the original rewireable fuses with MCBs as soon as we moved in as a stop gap (apart from the 45A cartridge for the shower, though no RCD). The...

All, Thanks for your posts. Paulh53, thanks in particular for yours, it has a solid earth, so I guess it's 6mm which, I think, limits me to 8.5kw (?) I'll nip down to B&Q just to check by comparing other cables to be certain when I've finally discarded this sodding flu. :cry: From the...

OK Guys, fair enough, thanks for the advice. By the way, Kev, are you really in Afghanistan ? :shock:

Apologies for what may be a dim question, but what's the easiest way to identify whether a cable is 10mm or 6mm ? Our 8.5kw electric shower needs replacing & I'd like to go for more oomph if the electrics allow ! Just changing a shower unit get affected by the new electric regs ? or does the...

Our electric shower has furred up inside the heater. Is it realistic to attempt to descale it ? If so, any suggestions as to the best method ? If I have to bin it instead, would an electronic scale reducer (such as http://www.scalewatcher.co.uk/) up line of the shower, help reduce fur in it's...
