You still need the patience of a saint and the deductive reasoning of Sherlock and Poroit combined to work that lot out! Mind you, as you say, it's better than sifting through a box-full of misplaced conductors without any clues whatsoever! This reminds me of a call out I did to a suspiciously...

So what you're saying is there's a load of blacks that were neutrals that should have been terminated together, but were attached to various switch terminals? And were the neutrals from different circuits?

Only needed if > 2.5m or 4.5kW.

Hopefully not too much. But one still fits grommets elsewhere to stop cable rubbing. Cables do move a little when you take off or swap out the accessories they are attached to and cables in straight conduit drops will be free to move throughout their length. I used to try and collect the old...

It could be a vent for a cooker hood. I have one just like that. Or is that effectively the same thing in terms of a flue?

In terms of compliance, there is more than just the RCD protection. And presumably, you have more than just this board. So, there will be potentially other things mentioned in the report. If you really wanted to fix all the issues to prevent a potential buyer using them as leverage, you could...

May have missed this, but if it is thought that the two red strappers have been swapped, have they been changed back?

It is not compliant with the latest regulations, but I would not worry unduly about it. Some of the circuits in that board do have a trip button (the ones marked in Sharpie), the others don't. If a basic home buyers report, now level 2, the fly-by inspectors tend to just look at the board and...

Yes. Like a sleeve of rubber that went over the end of the conduit that prevented the cable from chafing on the metal. I don't know if I still have any to photograph and show you. I'll have a look.

What I have done in the past is strip twin and earth and pull the stripped portion down the 5/8" conduit, such that the sheath is just inside the conduit. You'll need little rubber thingies on the ends though, if you haven't got them already. I don't know if modern ones exist.

What surprised me is that she named her house after her. If it were me, i'd try and keep my address as private as possible. I understand that if someone really wants to find your address, they will, but, if it were me, I wouldn't use my name in the house name. To my mind, it draws attention to...

Of course it is!

I never said that!

Be interesting to see what you wrote before you edited it. As usual, I think what you have written is rubbish. Think about these few words and why that is a silly thing to say.
