    Tight turns on oven cable - best way to run it?

    Do not do that. Drill/cut the timber if needed, cable ideally in the corner well below the finished wall surface.

    One set of under cupboard lights not working

    Remove the plinth that the lights are installed into. They are usually just clipped on the cabinet legs so can be pulled off easily.

    Grounding metal garden room

    No. This 'ground' description implies content created for North America. Inappropriate and unrelated. No. Sockets, lighting and other electrical accessories require a protective conductor which connects them to the main earth terminal for the installation. Standard installation practice...

    Fuse box tripping?

    It's a circuit with 3 lights and presumably switches for those 3 lights. Even if all 3 lights and all of the switches were opened for inspection and all of the possible tests were done on all of it, this should be an hour of someone's time at most. What kind of testing could possibly take two...

    Trying to identify my underfloor heating cold tails

    That is for an electric fan heater which will chew though expensive electricity. The Myson item uses hot water from the central heating system.

    New thermostat requires a neutral, which the old one does not have.,

    Consumer unit Wiring Containment

    Conduit or trunking, typically used for single insulated conductors. Available in metal or plastic, would be installed before any wiring/cables, and then the wiring would be installed into it. The picture shows flat T&E style cables below the consumer unit which are insulated and sheathed...

    Trying to identify my underfloor heating cold tails

    It's one or two cables coming out of the floor adjacent to a wall with further cable(s) to where the controller was. or more likely, one or two cables in a wall box where the controller/thermostat would have been located. There should have been another cable for a floor sensor, although that...

    Integrated washing machines

    In theory. In reality, you only get one chance to get the door aligned to the machine properly as there is no adjustment at all. Then there is the added difficulty where the springs in the dishwasher door are overpowered without the decorative door front installed, so it will slam shut on it's...

    Coax over Ethernet?

    Those radio channels are on one or more of the same UHF multiplexes that are used for TV. Unrelated to DAB which is an entirely separate service on different frequencies.

    Domestic Aircon power supply

    Only if it's intended function is an emergency stop - which it certainly won't be for an aircon unit or most of the other applications they are used for.

    Coax over Ethernet?

    That has an FM/DAB receiver, not a TV. FM and DAB frequencies are unrelated to those used by TV, shoving a TV aerial into it isn't likely to work well or at all. It's primary function is to receive audio wirelessly from another device, and as the vast majority of radio stations are available on...

    Building Regs Property Search Results

    That could have been for any electrical work, not necessarily related to the extension. At the time, plenty of electrical items were notifiable including most things outside, alterations or additions in a kitchen, new circuits anywhere, a replacement consumer unit, most things in a bathroom or...

    New oil to gas install. Bottom of rads cold.

    The real question is whether the rooms are at the temperature you want. If they are - not a problem. Contrary to what plenty of people believe, radiators are not intended to be blazing hot all the time.

    AC Installation - Career change

    Yes, it will. Already does for solar, and heat pumps will either already be there or certainly won't be very long.. Unless you already have a sizeable customer base who want to pay decent amounts for such things, it's a waste of time. 'new' customers are likely to just go with the cheapest...

    Fuse box tripping?

    It's disconnecting the circuit from the consumer unit and then testing the whole circuit. If a problem is found, then you disconnect at a light or switch about halfway, and test each half. Repeat until problem is found. If the 'electrician' used doesn't know this, tell them to get back on their...

    20a IEC connector on a welder

    Only rated to 20A in the USA where they use UL ratings - a system where a sample is sent for testing and when that passes some arbitrary test, the rest of the batch of 100000 items also magically complies. Those connectors and the cables attached to them are 16A everywhere else that uses IEC...
