Yup. Worked a for a few ‘acoustically obsessed’ people, but it’s pretty crazy stuff (imho).

You’d just install a 3ph CU, and install a 1ph conversion kit? Same I’ve done a load of times, and just balance loads / phases in anticipation. 3ph is borderline luxury though for most UK domestic residences, and you can pull a heck of a lot of juice down a 60a/80a fuse, with 100a giving you bags of headroom in most instances; even if this is an all electric home. EV chargers will modulate to help so can be managed easily, plus @AshleyFae you can go for a hybrid inverter so the DNO only see’s the single combined output vs two AC coupled inverters (if PV + battery). Export limitation can further support, plus it’s always best to plan to self consume as much as possible over each 24hr ‘solar day’. All quite easily doable with some sensible advice!

Just keep the taps turned off, no need to isolate the supplies.

That little chrome tower will unscrew and come out of the bath filler spout, and the brass bits are captive inside it. It'll look a bit like this: https://www.notjusttaps.co.uk/bath-mixer-diverters.html?srsltid=AfmBOooConE86lzVQygWRuBY6irx9Jr3MXuk9E_xTTKGo_XLBUAOv-nM

Who’s asking for fire rated back boxes in a domestic home?

£10k “grants” handed out like sweets. Ffs.

That would be sensible, ergo “not going to happen any time soon”….. 🤦‍♂️

Hi, and welcome Are you in a conservation area, or area of outstanding natural beauty? Listed? We thrive on info here, so get the fingers tapping on the keyboard and then ideas and info can be forthcoming! 🙂

Lift the 5a one as much as possible, then same for the socket to see if you can hide this. Plasterer was shite, decorator equally as guilty. Just unbelievable that this incredibly low standard of work could have escaped the 80’s and still be so prevalent today in 2026. I bet neither of those two tossers houses look like this. Utterly embarrassingly low standards from these people. The ‘fix’ is to remove the outlets, PVA the openings, apply EasiFill and allow to dry fully, then sand and paint, then, repeat if necessary, and paint. If you have a PM then send the bill to them.

The youngster may turn out to be a better fitter, be more meticulous, work with you out of respect, and do a good job. Just speak with him and explain your concerns, and see how he responds. Sounds like the product isn’t a top shelf option and the repeats are the fleas coming with that dog. For want of a better phrase, Champagne job on lemonade money? Feel free to tell me to FO, I have thick skin.

As long as you don’t put them on prematurely, and they damage the surface.

Maybe reach out to @craig as he’s the resident ‘lord of fenestration’
