thanks for replying. The system is open vented - the noise is coming from the radiator, maybe there is something stuck in one of the fins causing this?

Hi, a small problem I have that is annoying me now. One of the bedroom radiators makes an irritating noise every time the heating is on, especially when first coming on it seems - it sounds like a tapping noise coming from the metal radiator. Tap tap tap every 5 or 10 seconds, that sort of...

oh, I really thought landlords had to have electrical checks every 2 years, unless that is something different :oops:

ok thanks! What does a landlord electrical safety check consist of out of interest?

I was going to buy a socket tester but haven't got one at the moment. They wouldn't work on fused connection unit's though would they? If I called a qualified electrician in, would they be able to test all my electrics for safety from the main consumer unit to check all circuits are safe...

sorry, I meant if the supply was correct but the load was incorrect wired

no of course, I just woondered after hearing about the wash machine fault that killed a guy. It scared me, left me wondering if my house is all safe and wired correctly. I've been living here for over 10 years, but things like this make you worry. Is there anything you can do to make sure...

If a fused connection unit was wired correctly, but the live and earth to the appliance, ie immersion heater, were the wrong way round, and no rcd was installed on the circuit, would the mcb/fuse at the c.u. trip due to the earth and live touching inside the fcu?
