The council are likely to still be the building manager / factor / freeholder of your building and responsible for maintenance of the common parts including the intercom system.

Not necessarily. An oven is a fixed load which is unlikely to overload, and a 32A will probably still provide short-circuit protection. This must be proved by calculation. A larger cable would be prudent though, to allow for an appliance with a heavier loading in future.

I think you'd need some proper concrete to fill the holes, then an exterior self-levelling compound would do. It's not difficult to use provided you've got a paddle mixer on an SDS drill and ideally someone to mix the next bucket while you're spreading the first. The whole lot needs to go down...

Possibly taking the Openreach line to extension sockets, which were formerly connected to Cable?

Unless you screed the whole area you won't get a completely even finish. You could paint it with a base colour, then tape it out and paint in groutlines, and pick out some 'tiles' in slightly darker or lighter tones to add variety and hide inconsistency. You can even get metallic marble...

it's fitted so if you don't pay your bill they can put the meter remotely into prepay mode to collect the debt, and if you don't pay up the lights go off. It has been known for them to put the meter into prepay mode accidentally, with the householder having no way of crediting the prepay...

If that intake cable comes up through a concrete floor moving it will be a fairly major job, probably requiring digging and jointing outside = expensive. About the best that can be done is to move the meter under the CU, then you can have a cupboard to the left of the window and maybe a low...

If you have mains power then it would be a lot better to buy a mains-powered unit, especially for the water heating. I assume it's a variant of this: https://www.tealwash.com/product-category/tealwash-range/ They are designed for car battery voltages and won't operate at true 12V because that...

Do you know anyone who's really, really, really good at cake decorating?

Yes, and it is still available on the Screwfix site but I was using the direct link and not a forum redirect which is intercepted for advertising (when did that start?). Image now attached.

Yes, that description matches https://www.screwfix.com/p/reel-110v/21981

Volt drop is calculated from the origin of the installation ie the meter. Earth impedance likewise. You'll have to pay for any heavier cables needed in the submain or the circuit cables in your house. And 70 metres of submain cable may be a very limiting factor if in the future you need...

You can get contoured foam eaves fillers from corrugated iron suppliers and even the DIY sheds. https://www.wickes.co.uk/Wickes-Eaves-Fillers-for-Corrugated-Sheets-Pack-6/p/240165

Is there a single grommet in those back boxes? Why aren't the earths dressed neatly round the perimeter of the boxes? The supply lives of all the switches probably need to be linked together, but that shouldn't be done until all the wiring is tested and your electrician should be doing that...

Whistles nonchalantly ... CW1411 Dropwire 10B and a Dexseal box or run back to the BT66 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Genuine-BT-Telephone-Data-Cable-Joint-Repair-External-Enclosure-Kit-Waterproof/252801950816...

Raytel Elvox 6200 https://www.raytelsecurity.com/door-entry-audio-handset-elvox-vimar-petrarca-6200-series.html Elvox are available from other retailers but the in use/privacy buttons may be a Raytel add-on.

Can you access your CCTV and Ring from any other external network (ie not 4G)? It's most likely to be a router/firewall/port forwarding problem not opening the relevant ports or not updating its IP address for external access.

Cheap nasty ****e But Red and White should be A and B - the outer pair.
