Have a look here. //www.diynot.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=55500&highlight= This is what I had done.

The trouble with the housing market is that there is nothing supporting it at the bottom. The first time buyer is all but priced out of the market such that some lenders are offering 5 x salary mortgages and the Buy to Let market is saturated. I met someone recently who had a flat in...

I got a local electrician in, recommended via a builder I had used a couple of times. We managed to feed the SWA through a boxed in void that already existed in the house, I dug the trench (40m at 600mm deep -never again) and laid the SWA iaw his instructions leaving the trench open. He came...

I have 4 chandeliers in my lounge, each has 3 x 40W candle bulbs. If I switch them all on at the same time, that's physically turn the switches to on at the same instant, there's a more than even chance that one (or more) of the bulbs will blow. If I switch on one at a time, there's absolutely...

It's a plan then. Thanks for the help.

I want to plan it in for the end of Jan beginning of Feb next year when my Mother will be away for a couple of weeks visiting my Sister. If there's no technical problem with waiting until then, I'll be booking the Electrician to come back then later this week. Does that sound sensible?

My mother has just had a light fitting replaced out of necessity. The electrician who did the work gave her a "Minor Works Certificate" to cover the work. On it he drew attention to the fact that the wiring was over 40 years old and that the insulation resistance test on the lighting circuit...

Hi johnny yes it is the wrong forum but it'll be the only time I am qualified to answer a question posted here :lol: :lol: The quoted range for a jet assumes an awful lot of things, especially the weight of the aircraft. Aircraft weights are broken down into a lot of different...

Thanks Ban-all-sheds (or may I just call you "Ban"). That's pretty much established the feasibility of the lot (and, no surprise, the power looks like it'll be about the most expensive item!) All I have to do is get a decent quote. TTFN

The saga goes on, as does the cost!!

I am thinking that the new supply is the best bet, as there is no gas to the area. I'm going off, though, to look at the possibility of using the house's LPG supply to fire an LPG heated system in it and just leave the 'lec to run the sockets and lights. Luckily, drainage is not toooo much of...

In no particular order: Yes, there's an electric shower and cooker in the, main building. The PP I was referring to was Planning Permission as that point had been raised. And yes, far to **** sexy (and old!!!) for part P :-) 25mm SWA it is then.... will 900mm deep be enough (otherwise I've...

Thanks for the help guys. I was looking at a small, 7kW, shower to keep the whole load down. You've more or less confirmed what I thought - that it's going to be a major part of the costing. A PP enquiry suggests no PP problem so it's just the hard work left. Cheers

I'm just looking at the feasibility of and cost of converting a small old outbuilding to a guest annex. I'd want to put in a separate CU running a shower (about 9kW) a little Redring wash basin hot water geyser, a couple of lights and a couple of sockets. The distance from the front of my...
