Copper will react with any acid such as wine or vinegar so maybe not the best choice for a worktop but they are used. https://www.stainlesssteelworktopsuk.co.uk/made-to-measure-copper-worktops-sinks-and-drainers/

Some very drastic work, I do hope that plumber has really done every test and check possible to have confidence that there is A) a leak in the pipework & B) that it is under that concrete floor. For me if you have not seen him using one of these then I would have doubts.

A drill ?

well @Noel you should be working at least six days a week and not be allowed to retire if Starmer has his way to clear the NHS backlog !

Can you please post some pictures so people know what they would be getting, thanks

Use a soleplate, the last one I did I painted the bottom face with bitumen paint. A soleplate will spread out the load, can be fixed first and then easier to fix frames to it afterwards. As for doors, only you know what needs to be moved into and out of your workshop and the important...

That sounds like you flow is far to low for the boiler, anything less than about 10 litres per min is an issue. With a low flow it could also explain the very hot water. So your two issues both need fixing, the leak on the sealed side that results in F22 & low pressure and then the low...

With some lights they actually come with the facility for loop in / loop out such as downlighters. Also not all will have an earth as some are double insulated (class 2) and you can run just two core cable.

But very easily remedied, there should be a process where the NHS can claim the cost from the hospital that caused the issue in the first place and an automatic system of compensation for the patient. This will make the private hospitals realise that they cannot take a gamble with people and...

When fitting downlighters I would always use fire rated types to help prevent the spread of fire into voids and loft spaces.

Some wireless switches that are retrofit require a neutral. With a new install you can fit the receivers anywhere .

The reason is not that the people want to go this direction but because they have been let down by the mainstream parties and turn to something else that at least might be different. We just get labour and conservative, just like the tide they come and go but have now morphed into something...

A lot more than 35 new valves and probably a portion of the cost of actually changing them. Why is changing them not an option ? The valves themselves could be as worn as the heads.

Should not be left connected really when not in use. Take a picture of this filling loop, I tend to also fit an extra double check valve in the system .

Many a big business has gone to the wall simply because they just kept throwing money at the problem without actually fixing the issues, if your boat has holes in it then rather than just keep bailing the water out it is best to repair the holes .

You assume they were a qualified sparky and one that actually took pride in his work, sad to say that far to many are just doing the job thinking of the next one. All the LED light strings should have been terminated in a JB, but it is now advisable to ensure you do have a neutral within a...

So you had the on/off switches and dimmer switches elsewhere, that is an odd setup but old dimmer switches and any LED's are incompatable. You need the dimmable LED lights but also you will probably have to change the dimmer switch as well so that is also compatable with dimmable LED's .

If you want to do a tidy up then junk the old terminal block and use Wago 222 connectors, these are really good and come in two, three & 5 way.

The supply pressure to the property is down to the water authority, if they say it is within limits then you have a big plumbing issue in that your system cannot handle normal mains pressure and fitting a pressure regulator in these circumstances is just hiding the real issue.

First question is are they on a dimmer switch ? With all bulbs removed do you get 245 volts at each fitting ? This is not really making sense because GU10's are wired in parallel just like new LED replacements and GU10's will draw more current than the new LED although the LED bulbs...
