    Is my fuse box safe to work on?

    The 'boxin' will take about 30 seconds with a crowbar to remove. I do like the bell transformer and switch on the pateras.

    Slimline horizontal radiators (not electric)

    These start at 40mm with a 10mm bracket, so 50mm total https://www.featureradiators.co.uk/hudevad-plan-radiator-dansk.html Some standard radiators have reversable brackets to reduce the projection.

    neat wall flex outlet

    Interesting, not seen that before. I'd suggest it would be better behind a BG switch as the MK edge contour may not be identical.

    You think that's bad? The planning requirements for Purpose Build Student Accommodation (PBSA) are even laxer.

    CCTV x 6 cables, TV, Sat cables x 2, and Ethenet cable...?

    Do you actually need to bring 6 x cctv cables into the lounge? Usually one video cable from the DVR and a mouse extension if appliccable. Or modulate the camera feeds onto TV channels if you want individual cameras selectable from the TV. Aerial and Sat can be on F connectors (and you can...

    Replacing wired door bell/chime

    Yes. You're pretty much limited to a buzzz, a rrrring, or a ding-dong, though.

    Putting original electrics into conduit when decorating?

    It might be easier to leave the existing electrics as they are, and put in new conduit drops adjacent, but blanked off until required later.

    Leasing an industrial unit, interior fit out advice needed.

    1. Look at flexible dividing walls so you can have one big room for some events and divide it for separate lets for others. EG https://www.becker.uk.com/concertina-partitions/harmonica/ https://www.style-partitions.co.uk/folding-walls/ 2. Heat pumps would probably be the best for long term...

    Use existing 1950s metal conduit for rewire

    It can and should be earthed by being connected to the back box - which you can probably also reuse if you use 4BA screws (keep the old ones) or retap the threaded lugs to M3.5. The back boxes probably have a 2BA tapping for an earth screw but the screw might have been omitted. You will need...

    Intercom and door lock no longer working

    And I think the O wire is the common, so probably where the O wire connects at the speech unit at the door, would account for total failure of all functions on all handsets.

    Difference between fused spur and multiple extension leads?

    Earth fault impedance, among other things. As well as protecting the cable with a 13A FCU you also have to have permanent sockets comply with earth fault impedance and disconnection times and all the other safety requirements. Chained extensions can have thin cable and high resistance...

    Adding shelves into an MDF wardrobe.

    I would use battens, and screw from the outside through the MDF and into the batten. Won't be quite as nice, but will be much stronger. You can use white caps on the screwheads outside.
