Yes I have an engineer coming round today. I was wanting to see if it was something stupid first before I get charged a call out for something that could’ve been a simple as adjusting the pressure.

I did yep. Tried pressing for 5-6 seconds like the manual said, but no luck.

Ok, so managed to get the pressure adjusted with the key and nut on the underside. Up to over 1 in the black strip. Alas, still no heat. Likely to be a fuse or something gone.

I have recently moved into a property with gas. At some point today the boiler went on the fritz, with no hot water from the taps/shower and no heat from the radiators. I turned the heating on and inspected the boiler in the attic and see that there are no lights lit at all. I tried a reset...

So this is the wall switch, I could've sworn that there was a fuse slot on the front.

There is also an electric hob connected to the switch, and its not from memory connected into the junction box. I'll need to double check when I get home, and I'll update this thread with what I find. Thanks for all your comments and help so far!

I'll need to check the fuse rating in the FCU when I get home. If its 13amp like the plug on the oven, then everything's fine as it'll still have the same protection to the oven. If its higher (say, 45amp) can I just drop it down to 13amp? If I'm dropping the FCU fuse, would it be advisable...

This is what I am hoping I can do, I just wanted confirmation that it was safe to do so. I would assume that if the oven is ok to be plugged into a standard socket, that it will do just find on its own circuit.

Hi all, I'm looking to buy a new single electric oven, but I have noticed that some of them come with a 13amp plug. My problem is, my current setup and oven came with no plug and wired straight into a junction box to a separate cooker switch on the wall, and is on a different wiring system...

I recently bought a metal frame bed, but once I put the mattress on top, is now far too high. So I want to lower the slat frame down the legs. The slat frame screws into two threaded holes on each leg (the bed is essentially white metal hollow tubing) so I'm going to use the bottom most hole as...

Hi JohnD, that's actually a really good idea, I'd never thought of that!

After doing a little more research, I found this method: http://cpconstantlyvaried.com/2012/01/02/201201crossfit-home-gym-how-to-hang-gymnastic-html/ Using a heavy duty tow rope, I like this approach as it is way stronger than putting bolts into the joists as it maintains their integrity and...

Hi Frank, thanks for your response. I will be tidying up the hole in the ceiling with a suitable rubber trim/grommet rather than having the raw cut exposed, so that if there is any rubbing, it won't cut away at the ceiling. There shouldn't be much swinging on the rings, just static pushing...

Hi, I have a set of gymnastic rings that I want to set up at home. Unfortunately I do not have any exposed beams or anything I can just hook them over. So I have been looking into how to attach them to the joists. The room I will be using is the middle floor of my house, so the joists above...

Hi, I have a pressurised heating system that is housed outside in a utility room outside of the main house (concrete floors that drain straight outside), with the boiler in another room beside it. I have noticed a small crack in an elbow joint that is leaking very slowly when cold, but a little...

I am tiling my bathroom (plan attached, floor area in blue) and using these tiles for the floor: https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/43/ed/e5/43ede5d28bb99f1aaab09306b4a36be6.jpg The tiles are 20cm square x 1cm thick. Do I need to plan these differently when working out where each...

So I am replacing my current electric shower and retiling my bathroom. I need to remove the tiles that are currently under the shower unit and will probably need to replace the wall between it and the inside of the hot press. At present, it is plasterboard. Is there a special type of...

A very quick question. I will be tiling all four walls of my bathroom up to 3/4 high using 200x100 metro brick tiles. I understand that you use your vertical gauge rod to get the starting height for all walls keeping the bath height in mind, so that there isnt a bad cut at the floor. My...
