bit of a tangent now but what are your thoughts regarding DIY Solar that'll be available soon? It's very unlikely the average punter will be expected to know about the intricacies of their consumer unit- they'll be plugging their kit in to the closest most convenient socket and that'll be it...

We were never provided with certification so cannot guarantee the previous house owner didn't just DIY it. Also I like the idea of RCBOs should we ever have circuits tripping - and DIY solar requires a bidirectional RCBO apparently so rather than getting a sparky to quote to replace a single...

Appreciate the advice - another consideration (again I want to be as informed as possible before I accept a quote) I've read about is RCBOs that need to be bidirectional should I opt for a plug in solar panel system when they're made available. Should I state to the sparky that I want them to be...

It's more the fact theyre 'exposed' and likely pushed against tiled walls that are likely to condensate - water drips down in to a wago, potential for corrosion etc etc. It just doesn't seem right that theyre not enclosed when in a wet room. I can't enlarge the hole as its a tiled wall (I don't...

https://www.pebblegrey.co.uk/products/oslo-curve-led-bathroom-mirror Installation guide seems to suggest single bar... agreed probably not great but I don't have any prior experience of mirrors and if they're generally supposed to be fixed in multiple places?

Only concern there is the mirror sits on the wall with a single bar/hook - it can easily be pulled forward from the base to expose the wagos.

Simply lifts off - and idea of replacing whole t&e with flat cable to eliminate a join that would be needed otherwise (space constraints behind mirror make this difficult)

Hi We had our bathroom renovated a few months ago which included an electrician fitting a heated bathroom mirror. I had reasons to unhook it from the wall recently and discovered that the join between t&e and the mirror 2 core flex has been made with Wagos that are exposed. I won't be calling...
