Ok. Lovely, thankyou.

Hiya, Yes, turned the B40 off first thing this morning. So far not detected anything not working (although I'm not in currently - will come back and confirm that this evening). I'm happy to get an electrician in for a check. I may as well attempt via the guy whose name is on the stickers since...

Many thanks again for looking at this. It seems I do have an earth rod (bottom right of these pictures). Hadn't paid any attention to it before. This is located behind the garage by the oil tank. I can travel the cables back to the main earth lead identifed next to the meter (that EricMarc...

Lovely, thanks, that does narrow it down a lot, not much on those two!

Zero chance of anyone else touching it. No one else has been here, kids are too young to reach that far up, the dog likewise and the wife absolutely wouldn't touch it with a barge pole.

Yes I do. How did you know?

Hi all. Thanks v much. Answers to questions as follows: - The B40, sadly I do not know what that does. No instructions. I didn't live here when it was fitted. Looks like next I selection is due on a 5 year cycle in December this year. I moved here in 2021. - Outbuildings, yes there is a...

Ok thanks all. I admit am surprised because previously what you describe would always have tripped one of my smaller circuits on the consumer unit, never this big one before.

Yep, as attached.

Hi all, I have a consumer unit in the house but the main fuse is next to the meter which is installed on the wall in the garage. I realise that individual circuit fuses tripping normally indicates a fault on that circuit. However, my main fuse (not the one on the consumer unit but the one on...

Hello all, I need to dig a run for some 4" underground drain pipe. It's not a massive project, just draining a small paved area and the shed roof. Its going from where I stood to take the below photo, out under the gate in the picture and to a perfect spot in my front garden. After the gate...

Thanks all, much appreciated

Hi all, There is an LED lit mirror in our upstairs bathroom. It has no fused spur. I didn't wire it in. When we go on holiday I like to turn most things off, and I've noticed that this mirror has a red power indicator which is on at all times. There is no way on the unit itself to switch it...

Great, thank you both

East Anglia - it does freeze in winter

Hi all, Just laid some ACO channel and a short concrete path in a difficult spot behind my garage. Because the concrete had "nowhere to go" I installed a 10mm foam expansion all the way around the edge. This isn't a massive area just 2.5m x 0.9m. Anyway, about the foam expansion gap, will...

Cheers, To the left of the photo, that is the cartlodge. There is a DPM under its base, which you can see poking up from the edge of the base. There is also a DPC along the top of the bricks, which the timber is resting on. Understood that it'd be a good idea to DPM the retaining wall to the...

Hi all, I have a cart lodge which is built on a concrete pad (which has a DPM underneath). On top of that is 6 courses of bricks, then a DPC, and then timber upwards from there. Behind the cartloddge there is a roughly 0.9M wide path which separates it from the shed base (to the right of the...
