Welcome ,     Its best to state your position ,  as in ..... Apprentice  /  Spark  /  DIYer  /  Self employed  / escaped maniac   /  etc 

It sounds like the fan is fully automatic then  ,      with  older heaters you would switch it on when required .  Perhaps the heater is undersized for the room .                The usual method with older heaters was to "cook"  during the night ,   storage bricks very hot early morning .  The...

It looks like there is a digital timer thing on the top , it may be there  ,  I 'm not familiar with them TBH .      Are there  two supply flexes  from two switches on the wall?   

Good to have a Heating Eng  on the Forum  .  

Ah   it may be the fan that is pushing all the stored heat out then .     Use the fan for  quick warm up only  I'd think .     Keep in mind ....   the heater only consumes power for 7 hours  ...00.00    to 07.00  hrs       ( The fan is on the  normal  24hr  tariff  )    The refractory  blocks...

When stuck for a spare way  ,  upstairs rings  often  have low current  demand .    Our trade has wide parameters ..... you can find a house with a  3 way Wylex  ....Lights  / plugs  /  cooker .        To a board change we did in Lichfield  this year ..... it had almost every room on  it's own...

Why is that Risteard ?       The old Drummond  mains tester,   L - E   will often  trip RCBOs  ....if one drops out  you've found the circuit .   :C         I always meant to buy one of those Martindale   fuse finders  ...bit expensive  but when constantly finding unmarked boards   could have...

Motor repair garages are the worst  ....great at charging us the Earth for  a 1/2 hour job  but never want to pay for new light  / socket etc , 

It may have the OUTPUT  set on full   .  Its often  a mechanical  lever & flap  that works through a mechanical stat device.      The knob is possibly numbered  1  to 6   and is set at 6 .....turn it down as it's allowing the heat out too fast .  

Depends on what type of cable they are using .   A warehouse  like you show would probably  need trunking rising up from the switching position  , then spanning the building .  From the trunking various types of cable could be utilised to drop into the purlin upturn . 

No reason why you can't do that .   I've dropped  PVC conduit , SWA  & T/E   etc   in  the purlins  .  Connect each fitting with plug-in rose , hang fittings from the bottom edge of the purlin .  The cable needs little mechanical  protection up at those heights . 

I remember it well ,     a terrible disaster  and a disgrace  that no one could see it coming .      Or ignored it .   The attempted whitewash afterwards is unspeakably disgraceful  .       I worked in the Rhondda for a while and just even seeing the road sign  gave you a chill  of...

Same here  ,   and the last time I enquired  ,  my wholesaler didn't stock them as no one asks for them .     As a side issue :    I'm sure I posted about them & the those anti arcing things  becoming  mandatory ....dunno where I read that now .  Obviously the manufacturers are  not selling...

This is exactly right ......  Binky's   detectors MAY be  individual  smokes  , fed locally & not interlinked  ...whatever .....  shouldn't be coded as they are outside the EICR remit ...a comment yes  , then someone else,s decision  ,   architect  ,  fire chief ,  council  as to whether its...

This LGA  document  appears to discourage the installation of any fire detection  ,  unbelievable  .       I'd have thought each flat would have fire/ smoke detection  linked to all flats including the stairwell  .      

I thought that too  .     I presume you are tripping an MCB   NOT  an RCD   so as said above ...hell of a lot of current  being used on ring  to be tripping on overload .     Don't fit a larger MCB  .

It might help If I actually upload the picture  .   :C

We were told  NO third party  certifying of installations .      Except I believe by NAPITT  .  

Is'nt it time someone said enough is enough  ..........there will soon be a great pyramid of Chiefs  and no  Indians .
