    Advice - First Fix Ring main or Radial?

    Mmm. Did not think about that regarding AICO alarms. Pretty stupid not to have some done go of induction when power is lost. Are the lithium batteries in the 3000 series 10 year though? Which is the lifespan of the alarm as well.

    Advice - First Fix Ring main or Radial?

    It's one of my rentals mate. I'm gutting the place as it's not been done for years. Needs EiCR etc. plus in Wales it's also mandatory to have interlinked mains battery back up smoke alarms upstairs and downstairs. I always fit AICO.

    Advice - First Fix Ring main or Radial?

    Not sure if its fridge freezer will need its own curcuit tbh. The kitchen is the longest run as well as it's the opposite end of the CU in the extension. I will be leaving 900mm gap (think that's enough?) at end of units for tenant to supply their own. In all my years as a spark it's been...

    Advice - Anyone recommend a a single bowl stainless sink?

    Hi all. Getting stuff ready for kitchen fit in a rental and seem some terrible stainless recently. They seem very thin/flexible and cheap imo. Is there anywhere who supplies a half decent solid sink for around £80? I have a Franke in my property and it seems rock solid compared to ones in...

    Looks like ring up. Ring down and kitchen ring then. Lighting downstairs with feed to switch's as it has downlights. Upstairs I might do 3plate/feed to pendant. Thanks

    Advice - First Fix Ring main or Radial?

    Hi All Industrial Spark by trade and done my 18th years ago. Chasing walls etc and doing first fix. Looking at loads of posts/threads it seems ring mains are no longer a thing with reduced wattage items etc. Radials seem normal with a 20a RCBO. Upstairs/Downstairs/boiler/kitchen. Then...

    100%. Exactly, it's devolved and English law does not apply.

    What fire rated downlights are you all fitting?

    Lamp type make no difference it's the fitting that is fire rated. EICR is required every 5 years as it's a rental on Wales. Plus interlinked smokes, one up, one down. CO can still be battery but I'll fit wired plus combined heat/CO in kitchen.

    Looks like you have to replace the whole fitting. Not just the bulb/lamp.... Cheers

    What fire rated downlights are you all fitting?

    The days of 35/50w halogens are over. I must have box's of them here. Plus some 'fluorescent' types before the switch to LED. Looking at the new integrated LEDs they look a nightmare with the switchable wattage and colour. Cheers

    What fire rated downlights are you all fitting?

    How is filling existing holes a massive job? Cut some 76mm board match existing, batten, but scrim over it. Wide filling blade/knife and tub ready mixed Gyproc lite or similar.

    What fire rated downlights are you all fitting?

    It would be easier to just replace them with type that have you can fit GU10's. Labour/my time/hassle. I can make existing neat no problem but they love spots with working tenants. https://www.cosmoelectrical.com/product-page/jcc-fireguard-ng-mains-twist-and-lock-fire-rated-downlight Have...
