And "100 watts per point or actual load if greater" so the fact that most are now LED would be ignored. Is 250 watts for the amp the audio output or the power input? If the amp is for the kitchen I'd probably put it on the kitchen fan circuit, but not if it's elsewhere. Definately not the...

I assume there's a door to the right, so some space has to be left between the cooker and the door for safety. I would remove the worktop to the right of the cooker, and cut down the worktop on the left to an exact tile width, probably 2 tiles off. Cut down or remove the cupboard and door below...

True.

That's quite good for farm. Some places would have demolished the barn and left that lot tied to a fence post with a fertiliser bag over it.

The double-adapters-with-wire are part of manufactured extension leads. There's a one-socket one here but you will need to be able to solder. If that's not a master socket you could replace it with a junction box and an adjacent socket if needed. If it is a master socket I'd replace it with a...

I did mine on a Saturday. Secondhand ones are cheap on Ebay and it's easy to make up a demonstration board with the CU, standard circuits, etc, as would be used in a college training bay.

I am also seeing a lot of obviously student house-shares being disposed of by landlords; presumably a lot of students will be questioning whether studying away from home is worthwhile if lectures are on video anyway, or they'd rather pay for purpose-built student accom (PBSA) with en-suite...

Sorry; I know what I meant to say: There are some disputed areas, like the absence of RCDs on circuits, which an electrician may code as C3 or C2, depending on whether supplementary bonding is correct (C3), an electric shower is present (C2), or a socket is likely to be used for outdoors...

The government is fairly clear that landlords of privately rented accommodation must: Ensure national standards for electrical safety are met. These are set out in the 18th edition of the ‘Wiring Regulations’, which are published as British Standard 7671. Where the report shows that remedial or...

You can get a paddle mixing bit a lot cheaper, just use an adapter chuck in a slow speed SDS drill on rotary-only. I thikn it really helps to have one person on mixing and one person on laying

A dishwasher for unbreakable crockery

RCD as a main switch is a hazard because it will cut out the lights in the event of a fault on another circuit. It may be easier to mitigate that risk (and a good idea anyway) to put a couple of emergency lights on the stairs and in the kitchen.

A gridswitch and a neon or LED indicator module? You may need fusing down from the power circuit.

Two people, and a paving slab lifter. Even better is a vacuum lifter. https://www.speedyservices.com/73_5405-h-handyman-vacuum-lifter

Is that self-amalgamating or a special adhesive rubber tape?

You could use continential-style sockets that mount in a circular back box/hole eg https://www.furneauxriddall.com/acatalog/Berker-British-Standard-Socket-Outlet-Polar-White-BK_09_6262_25_02.html and...

I have skirting trunking in my lounge, it was easier than cutting out the wall for about 10 doubles, 3 quad data points, two phone points and 4 table light points. It'll be a ******* if I ever change the carpet though - the skirting went on over the existing carpet and gripper.

Try a motor rewind place as they deal with the sort of stuff likely to use mica sheet.

1. Don't have a prepaid electricity or gas meter. 2. If you have to have a prepaid meter, get a smart one that you can top up online or by phone. 3. A car battery and an inverter, with an appropriate change-over switch and earthing, will run a gas boiler. 4. Most gas fires don't need electricity.
