    Long screws - recommendation

    There must be a better solution to this. 350mm long screws will be ridiculous both to buy and to install. Add the photos of what is being proposed.

    the low‑voltage bathroom extractor fan and the fused spur

    The item about the kitchen sockets being 'spurred from a 6mm cable' is useless, as it doesn't explain what the problem is. What size of cable? One cable for both sockets or a separate cable for each? How is the cable / cables installed? Is the problem the socket on a 40A MCB? What exactly is...

    the low‑voltage bathroom extractor fan and the fused spur

    The fan is in zone 2. No requirement for a fan to be SELV in zone 2. No requirement for a fan to be SELV in zone 1 either.

    Ac or dc electric strike?

    True but that only applies to the force exerted on the strike by the lock, as in someone pushing/pulling the door. If the strike can be accessed, it's relatively easy to pry the mechanism and release it. If wiring for the strike can be accessed from outside (such as via an external cheapo...

    Ac or dc electric strike?

    Electric door strikes are inherently low security. Using a 'high security' lock with one is meaningless. What exactly are you intending to achieve here?

    For a change, good news, price of electric being reduced.

    Many consider it entirely feasible and desirable. https://nato-l.com/ https://infrastructurepipeline.org/project/australia-asean-power-link https://xlinks.co/morocco-uk-power-project/ https://gregy-interconnector.gr/index_en.html

    For a change, good news, price of electric being reduced.

    Global scale interconnectors are used to bring in power from places where it is windy and/or daytime.

    Tight turns on oven cable - best way to run it?

    Do not do that. Drill/cut the timber if needed, cable ideally in the corner well below the finished wall surface.

    One set of under cupboard lights not working

    Remove the plinth that the lights are installed into. They are usually just clipped on the cabinet legs so can be pulled off easily.

    Grounding metal garden room

    No. This 'ground' description implies content created for North America. Inappropriate and unrelated. No. Sockets, lighting and other electrical accessories require a protective conductor which connects them to the main earth terminal for the installation. Standard installation practice...

    Fuse box tripping?

    It's a circuit with 3 lights and presumably switches for those 3 lights. Even if all 3 lights and all of the switches were opened for inspection and all of the possible tests were done on all of it, this should be an hour of someone's time at most. What kind of testing could possibly take two...

    Trying to identify my underfloor heating cold tails

    That is for an electric fan heater which will chew though expensive electricity. The Myson item uses hot water from the central heating system.

    Consumer unit Wiring Containment

    Conduit or trunking, typically used for single insulated conductors. Available in metal or plastic, would be installed before any wiring/cables, and then the wiring would be installed into it. The picture shows flat T&E style cables below the consumer unit which are insulated and sheathed...

    Trying to identify my underfloor heating cold tails

    It's one or two cables coming out of the floor adjacent to a wall with further cable(s) to where the controller was. or more likely, one or two cables in a wall box where the controller/thermostat would have been located. There should have been another cable for a floor sensor, although that...

    Integrated washing machines

    In theory. In reality, you only get one chance to get the door aligned to the machine properly as there is no adjustment at all. Then there is the added difficulty where the springs in the dishwasher door are overpowered without the decorative door front installed, so it will slam shut on it's...

    Coax over Ethernet?

    Those radio channels are on one or more of the same UHF multiplexes that are used for TV. Unrelated to DAB which is an entirely separate service on different frequencies.

    Domestic Aircon power supply

    Only if it's intended function is an emergency stop - which it certainly won't be for an aircon unit or most of the other applications they are used for.

    Coax over Ethernet?

    That has an FM/DAB receiver, not a TV. FM and DAB frequencies are unrelated to those used by TV, shoving a TV aerial into it isn't likely to work well or at all. It's primary function is to receive audio wirelessly from another device, and as the vast majority of radio stations are available on...
