    fridge too large to move

    Who could dismantle and remove a large fridge freezer? The previous owners left it when they vacated and it has now broken. Our kitchen is in the basement and we think the stairs were replaced after the fridge was moved in as it now will not fit out by a long way

    EICR CODE too close to pipes

    What is the right code for: a) central heating pipes running directly below a socket (left to right). Could heat from the pipes slightly warm the socket and possibly warm a flex cord of a plugged in appliance if it touches the pipe? Would lagging the pipes solve this? b) electric cable...
