    How much for public Liability insurance

    My renewal is over £500 for £2,000,000 cover. Domestic plumbing, heating and gas. Nothing unusual or nitch. Never made a claim, excess £1000. 20yrs with same insurer does this sound about right? How much should i be paying, current quoter originally recommended by institute of plumbing. Cheers.

    Veissman 050-w vs Baxi 600 624 24kw

    I need to choose a reliable budjet boiler. Ive never installed a veissman before and its been years since i installed a baxi. I like the specs on both boilers. The amount of plastic and rubber worries me about the veissman but i do still like it, the baxi 624 looks like a lot of boiler for the...

    Once you break into a sealed pipe you become responsible for what comes out. Always cap off pipes/valves.

    When to replace old analyser

    My anton evo2 now needs a £250 service with new oxygen and carbon monoxide sensors. My first thought was maybe I should just replace it. Do the service bills get bigger than this?

    what size cable for 8.5kw shower

    The dilema for this installation was replacing an 8.5kw shower which may have been overated for the 6mm cable. I would'nt do it because someone 10yrs earlier thought it ok, if it caused a fire that would be a poor defence. I ran the details through TLCs cable calculator and it recommended 10mm...

    what size cable for 8.5kw shower

    My understanding is if the 6mm cable is fitted where heat cant build up then 8.5kw is ok. Any insulation then it has to be 10mm. Part of the run goes through the roof so its bound to be covered in insulation.

    what size cable for 8.5kw shower

    Hi all, Manufacturers always cover themselves by saying get an electrical engineers advice. Fair enough. I understand a cable can overheat but i cant remember last time i fitted 7.5 kw for shower. Is there a simple calculation that would cover me for installing 8.5kw on 6mm. Length of run...

    what size cable for 8.5kw shower

    Ive got an electric shower to replace, currenty 8.5 kw on a 6mm cable. Is it dumb to install 8.5kw on 6mm, im sure i used to do this years ago without thinking too hard about it. A quick bit of research recommends 7.5kw max rating. what would you do? Rewire for 10mm too expensive. Cheers.

    Its not blowing any pcb board fuses and the 3 amp in the fuse spur that powers the wiring for the boiler and programmer is fine. The main electric fuse box for the house is what is tripping. Just the circuit that feeds this part of the house. The problem is obviously linked to the fan boiler...
