got a sparky to give me a minor elecs cert for it for £30 which i was happy with. More to the point an ad campaign would be great, people really need to know what they can and cant do in the home and what testing / paperwork is required. lets face it the only people who know at the moment...

well in that case im an idiot, i had no idea that adding a spur required a test certification. Just as well i dont usually do the electrics. I blame the part p flow charts which say "if this then do this" because they dont mention any further responsibilities well thats my excuse anyway :D...

sounds like i'll be getting a local sparky in then, how much is a reasonable charge to inspect and test? Is it just a case of passing the testing values? or will design etc be taken into account? Basically what iam asking is am i likely to struggle getting the certificate since the sparky...

Ok iam after some help please. I install Home Cinema as a part of my business and recently have done a job that required a spur socket installing on an existing circuit. Now it was in a living room and so doesnt enter Part P. The client is asking for a certificate, am i right in thinking there...

sounds right as i have 2 cylinders in the airing cupboard, one red with a pressure gauge (i think this is for the central heating) and one grey (dont know what this does).

Ok here is the black thing/ 1, water rate im not sure but with a litre jug with a fully open tap takes about 2 seconds to fill 2, Generally if you turn off a tap while its noisy and turn it on again it will continue to sound. If left a while it will take time to sound again. 3, I...

Hopefully you guys can help me as i'm puzzled. Heres how it goes.. Only happens on the cold water system, which is a direct feed with no storage tanks. When any cold water appliance (tap, toilet etc) is opened a period of about 5 seconds occurs then a drop in pressure seems to be heard...
