Free: Convector Heater - working but issue (Lewes BN7) This is an electric convector heater. It's working fine; but the outer sheath of the mains cable is damaged (see photos). Someone with basic DIY skills could almost certainly fix this (and as noted it's actually working fine at the moment). However this came from an office and they can't use it in this condition, or with a non-certified repair. (Also I think it probably should have had feet - the fact it doesn't is probably why the cable is like that.)

Free: Central Heating Controller (Lewes BN7) This is a "Secure" C1727 controller, /. It can be used as a direct replacement for many existing controllers (but not all); and you can control it locally with an app, so if you have a wired thermostat (e.g. if you're replacing an older central heating programmer you probably do) then you should be able to use it as is, and set schedules using the app (which uses bluetooth). It's normally sold with a wireless display/thermostat/controller, but I don't have that any more. You can buy these separately, e.g. . (You can also buy a wifi card to plug in, and then can use the app remotely.)
