The vast majority of privately owned homes do not have EICRs. Those that do (such as some rental properties) will have an EICR that covers the fixed installation. Plug in items are not included and there is no way to know what people may choose to plug in. If people choose to plug in...

If it's underground, it's out of sight and will be permanently immersed in water. No one will be inspecting it until something goes wrong. The two proper options are above. If you want to do something else, then good luck with that.

3 core & earth, so you have both switched and permanent line at the mirror position.

No, as it's not suitable for concealing underground. That won't be happening, as the wires are permanently crimped into the plug contacts. You cannot attach electrical equipment to a trellis. There are two options. Either put the EVSE on the garage wall and extend the cable to the car when...

You can't attach an EVSE / wallbox to a flimsy trellis, they need to be wall mounted or fixed to a pedestal. If you must have it at the right side away from the building then a suitable cable will have to be installed underground from the building to that location. This will add a substantial...

This whole 'bidirectional' effort is meaningless for the vast majority of circuits. It's mostly hype shovelled up by the issue of Amd3 to BS7671:2018, which was touted as an 'emergency' amendment to add such things. The main driver was the usual bandwagon companies slinging in PV and battery...

It was 15+ years ago, where it was typical for 'dual RCD' efforts to be considered proper and valid by some manufacturers and those people that were sucked in to the dubious marketing efforts of the time.

Rip the whole lot out and fit items which are appropriate to the space. Worst 'refurb' ever.

Use the isolator handle directly below. Release any pressure in the system Undo the other end, only a small amount of water will be lost. No need to 'drain down' anything.

Loose connections.

Either could be done. You could connect to the lighting circuit and use a double pole switch to isolate.

If under the path it will need to be deep enough so that the cable is below the concrete slab, and therefore not affected by any movement or cracking of the concrete. Cutting into concrete across a narrow strip like that between a building and a fence will be a pile of bother. Clipped to a...

Markings which are rarely enforced and even when they are, it's usually after some disaster has already occurred causing injury, fire and death. Then the company that made the false declaration of conformity mysteriously disappears.

Pretty much any wired or wireless thermostat can be used with those boilers. There is no protocol or system - they are an basic on/off switch. When the switch is on, the boiler works. Some manufacturer specific controls may have features where the burner power can be adjusted relative to the...

There isn't. The important difference is that EV charging plugs/sockets do not have any exposed pins on either half, and they are only energised when the plug/socket has been locked into the other half, Unless someone has tampered with it, they can't be unplugged when energised, and even if...

It is, although not the latest version, it's the one before that. No, that paragraphs is the whole of section 4.

Caravan sites are not domestic dwellings, they are a commercial site and are supposed to be inspected and controlled by those who have some idea of what they are doing.. Reality may be different. It's a 200 regulation, of the applies only to the UK because of special reasons type. They are not...

BS1363-1

Possible, but it's only a 2 way unit with a couple of lighting circuits. Cheaper to just bin the whole thing and replace.

Just be glad that high capacity batteries that anyone can just plug in don't exist. Oh wait - they already do. https://www.mygrid.energy/ Good luck to anyone invested in installing solar and/or battery storage.
