I have 2 plastic vent tiles on my roof. From within the loft, I see that their underneath interface is a 75 mm diameter pipe, presumably to allow connectors, or just to allow ventilation. One of them is directly above the loft hatch which is lined with polystyrene on top. The other one is above...

I want to monitor how much energy our electric shower is using. The shower is currently on a Hager MTN132 B32 MCB. I assume that this Hager MTN132 B32 MCB goes on to a busbar and has a single live wire connection at the top. On Amazon and eBay, I have seen MCB's that have WIFI functionality...

I have an outdoor security light with a PIR sensor. I want the unit to have permanent power. It is switched from a 2 gang light inside the house on a one way circuit. One switch is for the kitchen internal light. The other switch is for the outdoor security light. People are in the habit of...

I am trying to troubleshoot a diverter valve that seems to be stuck, so I can only get water via the shower hose. I cannot get water through the bath taps. It is operated by moving a ring or collar. I have another one which works correctly and I think that I can hear a spring or something inside...

I have an old back boiler with a fire front. It is a Glow worm Capricorn 240/6. The back boiler works well, but the fire front is looking dated and I would like to replace it with a new front. Does anyone know whether it is possible to buy a more modern front for it? Or must I buy a whole new...
