Hi everyone, We had our electrics tested last year and following some minor remedial work were told that everything was fine (tested to BS7671 2001). Now we've had a different electrician in, he's looked in the consumer unit and been unimpressed that there are brass glands within the unit...

Having troubles with our new and very noisy Stuart (can't remember second name of brand!) Showermate pump... Salamander pumps claim to be "whisper quiet" (mind you, can't help thinking it must be a stage whisper...). Would swapping one for the other make a big difference? I know shower pumps...

We have recently had our water system completely overhauled and as part of that had a new two-shower pump installed (Shower mate brand). Having a shower pump was not my first choice; we wanted a pressurised system, but in the end the plumber said the mains pressure may not be up to it so we had...

We are gutting our old and hideous primrose yellow 1970s bathroom. The bathroom suppliers have suggested moving things around so we can fit in a separate shower cubicle too. Everything looks fine, but it does mean that we would end up with a distance of only 435mm between the WC and the edge...

Hi everyone, very new here, so please excuse any ignorance i show! :roll: We moved into a dated 1970s house in Sept, with plans to completely renovate. Part of that means replacing the original (35 year old!) floor mounted gas boiler, etc. I've read the water system discussions on this...
