Hi all, Can you pls tell me where I can buy kitchen worktops that already have the router cuts made, i.e. the male cut at one end and the female cut on the necessary long side so that you can make a straight cut where appropriate and join the 2 pieces together at 90 degrees? I have...

Hi all, Asked REC to change redundant economy 7 meter and timeswitch for standard meter. Also, bought an isolator and asked them to fit this next to the new meter. Thought it wouldn't be a problem as it's such a simple quick job. However, wouldn't do it; said that would have to be booked...

Good morning, Just can't stop creating more work for myself and have decided to pull down the old plaster in my living room ceiling and am intending to plaster between the beams to leave them exposed. However, have some services running between some of the joists in the present void...

Hi, I've had to extend the radial circuit to my cooker and replacement of the entire length was not feasible; therefore, have added a few more metres via a 30 amp junction box (30 amp will be sufficient for my hob, oven is connected via a 13 amp fused plug). However, what MCB should I use...

I thought about this as an option; however, means drain points wouldn't quite be at the lowest point, i.e. there'd still be a loop of water in both return and flow pipes beneath the rad. Guess this doesn't matter though? Rich

Good morning, Anyone have any thoughts on the quality of Screwfix compression fittings? I've read on various forums the use of Conex ones is preferred; however, they're comparatively much more expensive. Of note, I'll be using them for connecting Speedfit barrier pipe in a CH system...

Hi there, Hopefully a simple one this? I'm instsalling the pipework for my central heating system and am dropping the pipes to the downstairs rads from the void above. As such I need to include a drain cock below each rad for draining the system down; however, after looking through the...

Hi, Am too installing a ceramic hob and oven. I'll connect hob to cooker connection unit but I'm still not clear about oven, which comes with a plug already attached. Can I run a spur from the connection unit to place a switchless single socket in the wall? Or, even easier, can I just...

Morning all, Please, can you advise me on replacing my old fuse box, I want to replace it with a modern split load consumer unit (MCBs and RCB etc.). Am pretty sure I've got my head around witring all the circuits in correctly; however, am unsure about moving the +ve and -ve feeds from the...
