Anyone any experience of the wavin underfloor heating system? Iv been informed by the homeowner that the plumber says I need 5 cores at each of the stats and that they are low voltage and programmable, now of course I can't get a hold of said plumber as he went on holidays, and I'm not sure if...
Was sub contracted in by a plumber to replace an electric shower. Old shower was going hot and cold intermittently. Plumber assumed the shower was knackered and told me to replace it like for like. No cable installation just a straight swop. Also as soon as shower was turned on lights in the...
Everytime I get a plumber they are either ridiculously expensive, leave something dripping.... or both!!
I dont touch plumbing in my house as both times I've attempted it I've just got into a right pickle. I dont understand water, with electrics you do things a set way and it works, with...
Came across this piece of work while disconnecting a utility room for an extension. I noticed the radiator bracket was mounted RIGHT where the cable seemed to run, so because they were knocking the wall down, I decided I'd rip the conduit out to see what the story was. Both screws went straight...

Had a call from a plumber I know "I think I have blown the main fuse, there is no electric and no MCBs have tripped".
As he was nearby I went out the main fuse had blown and no MCBs had tripped. He was fitting a shower cubical and was screwing a length of aluminium section to the wall when the...
Was wondering how many sparks when asked to replace/install new shower do the complete job(plumbing work as well as electrical).
I've quite happily installed the lot in my own house but I can't imagine my PL insurance covers me if i caused a leak in a customers property.
Obviously the...
Just to check... I'm doing a job for the plumber that recently rang me up ranting at me on a previous job and has since been using me for his electrics now :-)

Should I be having problems with PIR security lights that are wired as a radial looping in and out from each light?
I have 3 in a radial controlled via a switch but having problems getting them to work right.
Any ideas? Is it because they are all linked? Back feed etc?
I'll cut a long story short, I installed an in-line fan for a customer of mine about 6 months ago, i took a supply from the lighting circuit into a cupboard within the bathroom, where the customer wanted the isolator installed. The cable was clipped direct within the loft, then to a small length...
Plumber has asked me to run cable for a shower pump. It has a 13a plug on the pump. He wants it installed in the bathroom for the new power shower. I have checked the regs and I can't see how this can be installed to comply with BS7671. It would not be 3m away from the edge of the shower tray...
Todays job was to go to a rental property, to replace a shower and to also find out why 2 sockets in the lounge wern't working!

Sockets in the living room are another story.

Nice i thought but this wasn't...
Evening Gents,
I am going to do a homer with a plumber next week, the job involves putting in a new shower circuit.
Got a "curveball" scenario thrown at me and it got me wondering.
