If you are going to put a server in a loft by which we mean an old PC to do some file serving normally don't put it on the floor but raised a bit and leave the keyboard/mouse and a monitor up there with it unless its a proper lights out unit and before popping it up there give it a good clean...

Sure its an actual rewire or just a check to see if the wirings still ok...I live in a HA house and had just brought a shed load of flooring to put down when they said they was going to check the wiring so i left it until the guy had been..everything was fine so i slapped down the boards Do...

Is the house truly empty? as in just the person and the floorboards? as i've seen it when i did cat5 installs for people where they'd say the place was empty and then you'd find you had to shift all the furniture around to get into the required place and for a lot of electrical work where you...

Sure your mum isn't cleaning it and as such giving it a good rattle as she tries to get in those corners and probably with a wet rag that drips water into the gubbins of it and then turns it back on only for the bulb to die shortly after?

And if you're lucky and your elecy company fits free isolators/switch fuse you could save the time/cost of a visit from the meter fairy to do their magic with the seals and then your electrician can just connect it up a henley block and run one set of tails to the current fuseboard and then the...
