Thanks for all the reply, you guessed it right, there is no cooker connected in this circuit. I reckon the previous owner converted the old cooker circuit. Dont worry guys I have no plans of connecting a cooker in this circuit. Many thanks! :D

We bought a house a year ago, and when we decided to renew the kitchen I found out that the kitchen socket is in a radial setup, looks okay but just want to be sure if this current set up is safe. Have a look at my sketch......

Thanks ericmark. It actually helps a lot. And many thanks to all the replies although I didnt get them all :oops:

Im assuming this is still a healthy discussion as I am a bit lost here. If I would install a single rcd...(maybe similar with link below?) ....At the end of the original wire and before the start of the new cable... I will be okay...

Thanks for that quick reply Ericmark, I think I have MCB just for additional info. Am I required to have it changed to an RCD? My cooker is induction, would the possible voltage drop be caused by the splice in the junction box? Are you saying if I have my MCB replaced to an RCD by an...

Hi I am thinking of moving my cooker and oven to the opposite side of the kitchen. My questions are: 1. I am confident that I can do the job myself (tho Im not an electrician) Can I just extend the wire and connect them in a junction box? Of course I will move the isolator near the new...

Hi Mandate The pump works once in a while so does that mean the micro switch is faulty? Pump does sounds working a few times in a day (with gushing sound) is that okay? I dont even know if gushing sound from the pump is normal.

Hi JohnD, It doesn't whir or anything, but once in a while the pump turns on (with a gushing sound) for a few minutes and off for a very long time before it fires up again, its really cold before the pump decides it needs to turn on again. The speed is already in 3, it was like that when we...

Hi everyone, I did the test minutes ago, the pump does not whirr when I bump up the temperature on the thermostat. Is that bad?

Yes but why does it have a tape on it? By the way,going back to my original question: When the boiler is on the ON position, and the room is really cold, why is it that when I increase the temperature on the thermostat to the point of "click" the boiler doesnt fireup straight away? I know...

When you said whirr briefly, is that like 5-seconds? They are far away, I will get back to you on that as I am alone in the house. Meanwhile this is the setup (pics). Its whirring for hours now. I will upload later What's with the tape on the switch? What is the switch for?

Sorry I forgot to mention, the time clock is in the the ON position Going back to my original question, is my boiler functioning as it should?

Hi guys, Sorry if my question sounds stupid, but this is the first time that I have used a conventional boiler (always been combi). We moved into this house a month ago and it feels like the heating is not enough. Whenever I increase the temperature and hear the click on the mechanical...

I am installing a pump under the bath as my shower does not have enough pressure. The hot water line runs from the cylinder to the bath and to the kitchen below. Can I install a surrey flange and the "branch" be shared by the pump and other services? Whilst the part of the flange going up be...

Thanks Nige F, do you mean combine everything like the picture below? OPTION 1 OPTION 2

Hi guys, I need advice on how to deal with the new bathroom layout. Please see picture Inlet A is the old wc location that is now needed to be moved to B, C is the basin that will stay the same. Now D is the old bath drain that will now be used by the new shower, and E will be the new bath...
