I was told by my NICEIC inspector I had to fit a warning label on the one in my image or it would be marked as a discrepancy :roll: How far do we have go to cover all eventualities these days, its like putting a 'contains nuts' warning on a packet of dry roasted.

Yep, metalclad box with blanking plate is the way to go, done it many times

Evening all, been a long day and the grey matter (and google) are letting me down, so need a little help..... Went to the outlaws today, they want me to pop on some nice new lightswitches and sockets they've bought..... long story short they want a double dimmer but the backbox is only a...

Go for a High Frequency (HF) fitting, instant starting in cold conditions, makes them ideal for a loft. something like this http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/HF158.html Edited for spellin

Thats a design feature so you can hang your shower gel on it, thats why they have those little hooks on the bottles :lol: Those speedfits in my pic looked to be white origionally, maybe the old owner was a hair dye/fake tan fan :?

Here's the cu, its located underneath a kitchen worktop with the boiler mounted directly above on the same wall..... There is also a 2way old wylex cu in the garage fed from a spur off of the 1st floor ring final, that needs sorting too

Got a call from an old mate whos just moved to a new house this week (well new to him) can I take a look at a few things for him as some of the electrics don't seem right.. The garage light switches dont seem to work correctly.. Guess at least they'd put some tape over the exposed...

Not tried those, but after complaints from Mrs 40 Watt about how much noise our MK switch switch made (nippers bedroom backs onto the bathroom, and hes a very light sleeper) I did some searching round and tried one of these, definately the quietest I've found yet short of going to a dimming pull...

I used to have the 230v green PMF and upgraded to the Blue GOP250, the GOP is a fair bit quieter, its still a bit 'screamy' on max speed, but at 20,000 osculations a min I guess thats expected (its more solid internally so the vibration level also seems less). I picked up a 10.8v GOP as part...

Bought a pack of 10 35mm Shark blades (£40) about 6 months ago and still got 4 unused, seem to last twice as long as the Bosch blades at less than half price, wouldn't buy anything else now..

I've got the Blue Bosch GOP multi tool, wouldn't be without it now. If it blew up tomorrow I'd buy another without a doubt, but register it online and you get a 3yr warranty. Gives lovely neat cuts, can get it in almost anywhere, its not too messy and doesn't damage the boards next to it...

Anyone come across any good deals on the Big Green Book ? Amazon are currently doing it for £65 and the onsite guide for £20, and seem to be the cheapest so far...

I had to get my morning coffee hit somehow :lol:

That's not a fault, thats the RCD test socket, and should only be used to confirm the correct operation of the RCD. :D
