100A stickers

It's definitely marked with each fuse marked 100A individually

The board isn't securely fixed to the wall, so requested they sort this out.

Yes it sounds like we need a new supply. Thanks all for the input. I think if they try and throw the cost on us unless its reasonable (it will at least in theory be split 3 ways) then I'll have to see what I can argue about liability, but that's likely for another day. Curiously UKPN do say...

2 owner occupied and 1 rented. Fortunately at least the rented has nothing in the cupboard but their supply fuse. We get on okay with the tenants so if they end up need to pull the power sure we can co-ordinate without issue at least on that side. They seem keen to come out. Maybe I can get...

By the sounds of what they said he imagined they would simply drop us all down to 30A or 60/30/30A. Considering its been there 22 years can they really just suddenly drop our fuses by so much? I'd have no preference to a 3 phase or bigger single supply. But really feels unjust they want to...

We live if a property converted to 3 flats (~20 years ago). There is a single phase looped supply with 3 fuses 100A each (one for each flat). UKPN are sending someone out but from phone conversations they expect (looking at a photo) they will need to be downgraded to 30A each or at best...

Yes I was referring to the AD which is not technically the BRegs Part P requirement, and I appreciate the AD isn't the only way of complying with Part P; but in lieu of not complying with the Approved Documents that follows the Part P requirement, usually the alternative is to follow BS...

Indeed it should have said BS 7671 (could have swore I copied the ref from Part P - I must have mis typed). Attached is section 3.13 I was referring to. Do you know the section in the BS that relates so I can see what I need to get done. Thanks.

These works don't appear to be notifiable under Part P of the Building regulations (Part P - 2.5, 2.7, 3.1). Is the requirement for a MWC covered by BS 7671 (under Part P section 3.13 requirements) somewhere?

Are you proposing I add another connection box externally? I thought the connection between the flex and SWA could simply be made in the existing box that is inside the building - where no water should be getting in. With the SWA cable then being sealed as it passes through the wall (with the...

We had our flat rewired a couple of years ago, and we had the electrician install a connection to allow us to fit outdoor lighting on our third floor terrace at a later date (and they left us some SWA cable, grey/black/brown). They fitted a light switch that runs to a backbox on the...

Thanks. It doesn't need to have a light or an emergency light in the location anymore so was hoping for a simple fix simply to stop the flickering as simple on the same circuit as another light. May be best to simply remove the bulb and wait for the scheduled work in a few months when the...

Light fitting installed about 2.5 years ago. Has a 5 year warranty. Was also tested last year. Whole building due to be gutted and rewired in 6 months time including new fittings. So looking for just a solution till then.

Looking at one of these to avoid replacing the whole light fitting or inners: https://www.amazon.co.uk/LED-12-5W-4-PIN-White-GR10q/dp/B01LXE3UQK/ref=sr_1_6?keywords=2d%2BLED&qid=1555264444&s=lighting&sr=1-6&th=1 Someone has helpfully noted "the CCG variations work with wire wound chokes (old...

In the end it appears to simply wrestle out by bending the diffuser part. Anyway got it off, swapped the bulb with a new 28W 2D 4 pin bulb, and still have the flickering. I assume unlikely new bulb would have exactly same issue. Photo attached of inner. Any thoughts what else could be wrong...

We have the light fitting shown in the attached in our hall. The bulb has started to flicker so wish to change. Assume it is a 2D bulb. Cannot work out how to remove the cover. The translucent cover pushes upwards. Doing so reveals 3 metal tabs that can be seen in the gap at equal spacing...

The appointed SE should tell you this. If they can't they shouldn't be doing the job.

Large rocks usually end up landing in fortunate places along grass verges in the countryside. They often end up painted brilliant white too. It's a curious natural phenomenon I believe.

It is hard to know whether building regs is required as it depends on the work to be undertook, and not whether there are already rooms on the same level that are habitable. I'd speak to an approved inspector, if it doesn't need sign off they should tell you. But the requirement/obligation to...
