Thanks again for your help. I'm definitely going to get someone in to change the consumer unit as well, so that's very useful advice. Cheers, Mike

Thank you both for your quick replies. They were very useful. :) I'm not actually going to start getting down into the dodgy parts of boiler installation. I've bought a house without any electrical certificates (or gas certificates, or any boiler instructions, unfortunately!) and I want to make it a...

Hello. Thanks for the quick reply. I was going to get the flues inspected and lined professionally, it was just the brickwork in the fireplaces themselves. It doesn't look good at all, as the bricks are badly chipped and the mortar is crumbling away. I was going to remove a few of the old bricks at ...

Boiler Wiring

Hello, I've got a couple of questions about boiler wiring. It's all wired up and works, but I have a couple of concerns: 1) The cable connecting it to the mains is 2.5mm wtin core and earth and connected to a 32A fuse in the consumer unit.

I'm trying to restore 2 chimneys in a house I've just bought. At the moment they're both just holes in the wall, and both will need substantial par...

Rotted Floor Joists

Hello, I've just bought a late victorian end-of-terrace. I've taken up the laminate flooring that was there and replaced it with wooden floorboards. Most of the joists are fine, but there's one corner, about 1m by 2m square, where the joists have suffered from damp and are in very bad condition. I'm...
