Hello,

Before my solar install can proceed, apparently I have to get a (battery?) isolator switch installed at my meter (100A double pole) and the installer can't do this for us.

My current meter has a standard red fuse on/off switch in it for the whole house, but I guess this isn't enough.

Does anyone know how I get one of these & approx costs? Do I ask the National Grid, an Electrician, electric supplier? Is there any better wording I can use so I get the right thing fitted?

And what does it actually look like at install time? Just an isolator outside the meter box with the output going to export tails and an empty input, that the battery will connect to in due course?

Hello,

I currently have an 1800x900 shower tray, with glass only along 1 long side, then 2 sides tiled and the end is wide open. This glass was badly sealed so I need to remove it all reseal/upgrade.

I want to fit a full rectangular enclosure around the tray so it's closed off with a sliding door. I can hope the current glass is screwed to a stud, but for the currently open 900mm far end I have no way of knowing if there is a stud in exactly the place behind the tiles I need to screw the new frame and can't do much about it if there isn't!

What should I do here? I assume the tray will take most of the glass weight given it's fixed position.

Would it be wise to throw out the screen screws that come with it, and use some special anchor plugs/screws that expand? It does sound like a hollow stud wall when I knock on it. So I would assume cement board & cavity.

Any other reasons I can't do this swap that I've mised?

Currently it's this style:
