Following on from my last post I found some Braided 3 core flex. If the above is possible would this be okay to use? https://www.kingschandeliers.co.uk/electrical-braided-flex-0.50mm--2-or-3-core/braided-3-core-period-silk-flex-cable-brown-0.50mm/

Hiya, thank you all so much for your replies. Not sure if it will help any. I've added a couple more photos. The first shows the wire that runs from all 5 arms. It goes into connector (A)that is taped up and another wire comes out from that connector (A) and up to the ceiling connector (B)...

Apologies again for the poor photos. It's the best I can do with my phone that is over 12 years old sorry.

I've been let down by 5 electricians so far who just didn't show and the only one that did tried to prise off one of the staples holding a wire with a penknife and when that didn't work said he would have tape the new wires to the piece. Could someone tell me if there is a way to test that the...

Think that is as good as it's going to get sorry

Apologies. They looked better on my phone. I'll give it another whirl.

Hiya, I'm hoping someone can offer some advise. I have an old light fitting and was wondering if someone could tell me if it needs rewiring? I own a multimeter but I'm not sure how to test to see if the wires are functioning. It's a chandelier type set up with wires connecting to several arms...

Thank you

There is a gap and I do run a hot wash every month with a washing machine cleaner. It has only been since we pulled everything out to decorate. I'm starting to wonder if the cause might be because the drainage pipes from the machine haven't been raised enough to empty properly. Are there any...

We have a septic tank but this pipe goes to a grate in the back garden. There is a bit of a whiff in the washing machine was wondering if it was because it wasn't draining properly

Forgot to say there is no sink nearby

Bother, would it work as well if I fitted a McAlpine Adjustable inlet Tubular P Trap with a twin connector? I've been googling while waiting for a reply :-)

Hello, could someone tell me if the plumbing for our dishwasher and washing machine is correct? Should it have a waste trap and if so what kind? The white pipe goes directly outside into the drain.

Yay! It worked. Thank you so so much.

Thank you for the speedy reply! Just to be clear before I do anything. I need to swap the black and grey wires over? Sorry to be a nuisance.
