You can, if it only supplies one socket outlet (double or single). No different from an unfused spur from a 32A ring circuit.

Its one of those newfangled wireless efforts. All controlled by an monthly subscription to the mind control device and the electricity magically floats via the ether to the appliances.

It's been nibbled by rats or mice. Check the whole length of it, and the hoses, and anything else that was stored near it.

You and that church hall seem to be the only one who has these complaints. Millions of buildings all over the world have had LED lighting as standard for years. Millions of complaints are not occurring.

The light spectrum that LEDs create is not created by the LEDs at all - it's created by the phosphors that are used over the LED die. Just as fluorescent tubes use phosphors to convert the UV light into visible. If the light output is not what is required then it's entirely the fault of those...

The paint isn't a problem but the solvents used in spray paint might be. Some of them will damage PVC.

The socket you have obtained is of no use there, it can only accept 3 of each wire. A likely solution is to obtain some of these: https://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/WA405.html 5 way connectors, trim and strip the existing wires so they can be connected with those connectors flat against the...

Those obtaining the quotes let it slip that they already have X quotes from others even where X is 'a few' Very common. The only two options then are to find out exactly what has been quoted for previously which usually ends with finding that the cheapest one is cheap because it's only covering...

Please do NOT do that. Doing so will waste the time of at least 9 people and if that behaviour is repeated even moderately prices will be massively increased to cover all of that wasted time. If any trades discover that someone already has 5+ quotes, that person will very likely be labelled as...

Doubtful. AI assistant answer: Prosecutions Publicly reported court cases specifically for solely unauthorised removal of the cut-out fuse (without additional elements like meter tampering, bypassing for theft, or harassment) appear rare or not widely documented in mainstream sources, court...

If you want a single specific item in BS7671 that states 'do not connect solar to multiple circuits' then no, there isn't. If that type of thinking was continued, BS7671 would be thousands of pages of specific entries attempting to cover every situation possible. Fortunately standards are not...

Bidirectional devices is 530.3.201 which was added in Amendment 3 of BS7671 18th edition. For PV not connected to RCDs which supply multiple circuits, in BS7671 this is mainly covered under disconnection times 411.3.2.1 where if the PV inverter is connected to multiple circuits, when the RCD...

But if trouble had occurred, they might have preferred something more recent with additional safety features. Like driving a 40+ year old car with no seatbelts, no airbags, no antilock brakes and a mixture of cross ply and radial tyres. All perfectly fine and safe until it isn't.

A novelty item of little benefit in most situations. Problems being stored up for the future.

Fluorescent tubes are obsolete. Production and importation ended over 2 years ago. All that's left now is old stock that certain vendors have hoarded to sell at high prices.

It will, because most of the cost is the items inside the consumer unit, the installation of them and the testing of the circuits connected. The actual box on the wall is an insignificant part of the total. All solar PV requires that, and solar cannot be on an RCD shared with other circuits...

It's a brand which only Screwfix sell. Whether it's good or not really depends on what was specified for it and who made it. Built in USB outlets in general are a terrible idea as they are powered 24/7 including when not in use, so failure is inevitable. Those which some people rushed to fit...

£100k at least. Very easily a lot more. Fiction. That's exactly what it is. The building is at the edge of a tiny village in the back end of nowhere, right next to a primary school. Even if it was reopened as a venue, expect complains about noise, disruption and antisocial behaviour. It...

No, and it wouldn't be of any use even if there were. For multiple showers or other outlets in use at the same time, the flow is shared between them, so high flow rates are needed. That applies regardless of how the water is heated - if the flow into the property is poor, then it doesn't...
