    What kind of MCB is this?

    That's labelled cooker. Guess It's possible it also services the induction hob or other sockets, old oven was a double with separate ceramic hob. not sure if that's allowed, Kitchen was done in 2019 so it should be to code (hopefully). You were thinking I could possibly swap them I presume...

    What kind of MCB is this?

    Hello, What kind of MCB is this and where can I buy a bigger one? Can I swap this myself legally (I can wire a plug, light switch etc). Our electric shower died and that got me looking at what we can support on the existing wiring. Short answer is we need the same <9kW but I was concerned that...

    Mohair rollers

    Hello, I am doing a project where the instructions say use a mini mohair roller. I know mohair is wool but tjese days rollers are synthetic. So if I want to buy a synthetic "mohair style" roller, are all fuzzy gloss rollers the equivalent of mohair or should I buy one that specifically mentions...

    Replacing cold water tank - metal brackets in wall

    Yeah been meaning to ask them when I see them, with the current situation i won't ask to go up there! Its a 1950s end of terrace. I don't think there's much weight on the joists.

    Replacing cold water tank - metal brackets in wall

    I know what you mean, seems unlikely, sadly there's no way to know if the brackets are cantilevered in the wall or not. The way there is also a wood backup made me suspicious and could have been put in under the assumption that any drain state on the other side would be temporary and the joists...

    Replacing cold water tank - metal brackets in wall

    100% agree with you, we need to sort asap!! Rightly or wrongly it got parked after the birth of my daughter and now we've got a bit more time I want to sort it. OK so if the old tank stays in place I think I can get away with the rising main and the feed/expansion tank, the pipework will just...

    Replacing cold water tank - metal brackets in wall

    Thanks Novice, could I ask if you would do that anyway, or is it because of the bracket? My original plan was more or less a swap in place - so that makes it a lot more complicated, I'd have to move literally all pipework and possibly even the rising main and HW expansion etc. (would be in the...

    Replacing cold water tank - metal brackets in wall

    Hello, Looking for some opinions about how to go about my job for the weekend. I already bought all the bits in October, then my daughter was born and I never got around to it. Our galvanised cold water tank has a slow leak and I'm replacing it with a plastic coffin type. Initially, I thought it...
