Thanks AndyPRK So just for my understanding, the white cable leading into the ceiling has been connected incorrectly into a junction box - I guess somewhere under the floorboards? The electrician reports states: "At all of the switches and sockets there is either no earth sleeving or the...

Hi I am attempting to replace an old ceiling light and replace it with a new pendant. The house was built in 1971 and still has the same electrics from when it was first built. I started removing the old light and found out the 3 cables (brown, blue and green/yellow) from the light were...

Thanks DP and Whitespirit66 We are favouring the unvented system primarily because the plumber who suggested it has worked for us before. Otherwise, we are a little at the mercy of plumbers thoughts, so I appreciate your guys advice. Whitespirit66 - obviously it will be cheaper to...
