That's ok - its probably the way I explained it! The cooker unit has a socket in it which we don't use, the cable from the unit goes down into a 45A outlet plate behind the oven, the oven is connected into the outlet plate. It's the outlet plate that we wanted to change from single to double...

Be careful with the Beko model you quoted as the spin speed is rubbish & it'll take ages for your washing to dry! Also its got quite a low capacity only 5kg I think, which isn't great if you have a family & need to wash a lot of things. If you can afford to go a bit higher say up to £230...

Thanks for your prompt reply. The cable in use is the heavy duty flat twin + earth (sorry I don't know the size) but has been ok with no problems for the last 6 yrs with our old CDA double oven & the connection was certified for building regs as we had an extension built at the time. There...

Hi, We're replacing our built-under electric double oven with a new one & have decided to replace the gas hob with a ceramic one at the same time (hopefully ceramic hobs nowadays are more scratch resistant than they were 18 yrs ago when we had one in our old house!) The oven is a JOHN...

Just in case we can't remove the black mould completely, would we be able to retile over the existing tiles on the shower area floor or do we have to remove them first?

Thanks, will look into the products recommended. Hope they work as we like the tiles!

Thanks, will try restripping. If it doesn't work would we be able to tile over the sandstone mosaics or would it be better to remove them completely & then retile, this time using a ceramic tile.

Hi, am a newbie on this site but we have a problem in our bathroom which I'm hoping someone can help with. My husband is a very competent DIYer (renovated & extended 2 properties) but a couple of years ago he made a wet area for a walk-in shower which has now got a discoloured/mouldy floor...
