Hi and good morning I'm just about to install a single beko oven that needs a 13amp fused spur and an induction hob that requires a hardwired 32amp supply with cooker switch. No problem with the induction hob, as I have a 32 amp dedicated supply already installed. My question is, can I use an...

I have a house conversion into 5 self contained flats, each with their own gas and electric meters. I wanted to put in a smart meter for the landlords electricity supply which has its own meter. This provides stair lighting, emergency lights, door entry system and fire alarm. However, the...

Researching wireless smoke alarm systems. When taking supply from ceiling pendant for each wireless detector, is the correct way to put in a fused spur (unswitched so tenant can't turn it off) then supply detector. Or should you just take supply straight from pendant to detector. You then...

What a shame, I hope they took out BG HomeCare 100 cover before they went. :shock:

How do you get the 100mm dia vent past the external vertical tile hanging and make weather tight? They are normal small roof tiles.

Tenant called to say the WC / loo was smelling of drains. Called in and yes could smell it. Thought the multi quick was leaking/disturbed so took whole thing out and changed it, resealed, new cone washer between cistern /WC and still smelling. Old wooden toilet seat, rusted on and not...

'It said the tap was dismantled and cleaned and subsequently retested and found to be clear of Pseudomonas'. Anyone know how this happens. Is this bacteria in the mains water or stored water or is it passed from hands onto the tap handle spread into the mechanics of the tap! :shock...

The faithful old girl (21 years) has finally been replaced with a new baxi duo-tec 24, through no fault of her own. :( I discovered a leak in the automatic air vent and fixed it myself, I then stupidly tried to nip up a weeping joint on the heat exchanger, big mistake, and twisted...

My existing brick to brick width opening size is 1620mm. Height 1090mm. Wickes French doors are 1490mm x 1090mm. Allowing 5mm each side to the wickes door frame = 1500mm. Therefore 1620mm less 1500mm = 120mm divide 2 = 60mm short on both sides. My question being, can I fill...

expertgasman from another earlier/other thread, You said ....With regard to the FFD, that is always on an oven, and has been for decades. In a flat you now have to have a flame supervision device on ALL burners. Interesting point. I assume this does not apply to existing cookers...

My ongoing saga attempting to flush out a microbore system - my friend had no idea how old the 15/50 grundfos pump was, or when installed. Anyway, to cut a long story short. On the pump casing label stamped on the disc is a number, in my case U970, I emailed Grundfos and they kindly...

Have bad flow in a micro bore central heating system, open vented , threeway mv. We think we have narrowed it down to the pump. The system was very dirty, sludge etc in rads which we have taken off and flushed through in garden. My questions are, as pump spinning from looking/feeling at...

The gas hob valves that turn the gas hob ring on/off high/low etc. are they easily replaced. Or do they need careful cleaning when I'm experiencing not much adjustment and its occasional failing to turn off properly. I note they are sold as R, S, A. and are not that expensive...

I was bored and decided to swish the manholes down with the hose. Inside the manholes, the side benching had been used by rats to sit on the sides eating all sorts of 'crap', their droppings being evidence of their presence. I worked my way down the system back to the manhole by the road...

I am helping a friend to drain down his microbore central heating system, I am told it is just a normal unvented heat only boiler (have not seen it yet), flush each rad in the garden then add sentinel x800. Leave running hot for ? long, flush and add inhibitor. Then he explained he had...

How often does this happen. Just installed a replacement low level WC and cistern, all plumbed in and it leaks. Looked at all the normal places that you think, ie cistern holes and multi quick...........it was where the seat lid fixing brackets pass through the china pan. A small split inside...

Landis and Gyr, Honeywell. Siemens. I cannot find any information as to which Company is going to make them, but who ever it is, would be a good bet! How many would be needed for UK. :shock:

The diverter valve is failing as the hw has to get to full flow to fire burner. Ezypart will sell a new diverter at £35 plus £10 delivery, posted Monday. But the nice lady on the phone from Ezypart said that the diahragm is a universal Giannoni one, which I can get off the shelf today...

Attended this boiler today with our regular gas safe engineer and he suspects the above. (Sounds like the SHE is full of water). The boiler makes a gurgling sound and the gas flame never really gets going, flames then seem to choke and extinguish. Boiler cuts out and goes into slow red flash...

First time for me fitting windows. What allowance do you give when measuring width and height. I have a sash window, will take out the parting beads and leave the frame in, I appreciate opening not always square, but do I have to leave a big enough space to get the plastic frames level. Any...
