John, I don't know the installation so got to assume the worst case. However it might be that there are several rings all split and able to transfer straight into a 3 phase bioard as they are (say east church, west chirch, stage, balcony, basement, kitchen and so on). It mght be that there are...

a 1909 house was a bit before asbestos was widely used (1940s ishto mid 80s) so if it is original then it has a better chance of being OK.

Hate having tio explain things again... the paperwork exanple was an example of how people do weird things perhaps I could have used another one but that was closest in relevence to a kitchen Having the local switch off gave us an extra layer of protection when we turned the main power on. Often...

I'd agree with that John. My concern for the costs are how the church uis configured inside, rather than the DNOs charges. For eample the stage lighting might all be plugged into a single ring main and could be taking pretty much all of the peak 100A load. This circuit might need to be split...

Going back to the original question, what is the budget to get a 3 phase supply (or even just to get a second supply at the same phase)? The reason I ask is that it might be cheaper (and greener) to use that budget to buy the LED stage ligts and problem somved a lot cheaper and quicker. For...

Sorry, I should have added a few more words to that point As an example of how a safe installation can be compromisdby a human factor. These were brand new flats, electrics instraled to the latest standards (or at least to the minimum standard that the regs allow), and the electrics were safe...

we live in a house, the house has a kitchen, the boys are able to op[en doors and no matter how goof a parents supervision is sometimes they need to leave the room. The other option would be to poo in a bucket in the living rom. All parents encounter this dilena, and as the children grow up they...

Personaly if you are having a switch local to the apliance then it is a wasrte of time and money if you cannot get to it to operate it. For example, we have switches for all of ours - but we also have small boys who love to press buttons and it is a safety concern that a tumble rier could get...

my advice.,,,,if you like the house,offer what you think it is worth as it is now. they either sell you the house or they don't. As for the electrics, 1970s is a bit old for original wiring but not unusual. An inspection report won't tell you too much aboiut the actual wiring just whether the...

Fully agree, a window is only as good as the way it is installed... as the silicon sealant is slowly failing in my house the UPVC edging is coming away and the wind howls through... and its a simple fix, fill in the gaps between the window frame and the wall rather than leaving a hole all the...
