Definitely 4.5kW - in fact, based on the plate, my calculations make it 4.7kW! Go direct to SSE rather than get an electrician to examine first?

I'm going back up so I'll check in a bit. My thought was maybe if the fuse overheated, it might have loosened the connections, causing it to arc, causing the cable to heat up. Definitely a good strong electrical whiff though.

Another question, I've just been looking around various other sites... Is it possible that the problem is the fuse in the cutout? Could it be a 63A fuse? In which case that would reduce the load capacity from 23kW to 15kW... I've clocked their current max load based on the numbers above -...

I'll tell them to get an electrician in and go from there, thank you.

Thanks. Should we get an independent electrician to check this first, or just go straight to SSE?

My apologies... No, they all apart to be the same size.

Also a good point. Would any clamp meter do? I've been thinking about getting a cheap one from screwfix. But the earth leakage ones are out of my budget. Regarding the cutout, whose responsibility would that be? Tenants or SSE?

Thank you for your replies. I don't know enough about cable sizes, but doing dinner quick maths, suggests a cable just under 6mm in diameter. I'd say that's about right. Other meter? They seem secure, just as they did previously. And while it's possible, I can't see engineers leaving a...

Right, I would like to preface this with the fact that I am NOT a qualified electrician, and as such I will NOT be touching any of this myself. I'm already leaning towards telling them to get a qualified electrician to check their installation, although they supposedly had an inspection 2 years...

I am re-building my drive gates and I've hit a snag. Gate frames are built. But I forgot to offer up the hinge bracket to the post before starting work. I was going to use 47x100 bolted to the existing concrete posts to take the gate brackets, but they are 55mm wide DOH! Due to the width of...

Nope, Jon ;) And yes, planning to leave a drain gap. Just trying to blend it to the wall as best as possible.

Thanks, the description of it being cement threw me.

Oh! No, the only rubber seal these have is at the cable entry point.

Something like this? https://www.toolstation.com/shop/p93228?r=googleshopping&rr=marin&utm_source=googleshopping&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=googleshoppingfeed&gclid=Cj0KCQjw6pLZBRCxARIsALaaY9asKEu622R_xpqtCZDwE7LFGitX2MEz17jzeLiGb1cPWjHyEAfE6qEaAiW0EALw_wcB

Hmmmmm, not enamoured by some of the reviews. Also I'm not sure cement would give the best bond to in unknown GRP style material. Did you mean to post this in my other thread about filling a gap behind an exterior light?

It does, but I don't like the gap...

I did one of mine recently. Undid the plates holding the old window in. Measured up. Made a frame out of an equivalent thickness timber. Routed a 6mm channel in it to take the glass. Made a U frame, slotted the glass in then put the final bit of the frame on. Then put it in place and...

My wife has purchased a molded mushroom table. The top attaches to the stem be means of a 1/4 turn screw fixing. However this has come out of the underside of the table. What would be the best method of re attaching? I'm thinking probably some form of epoxy, but should I also be looking to...

I'm mounting these lights from B&Q, and as you can see from the picture, there will be a gap between them and the wall due to texture. What would be the best product to fill this gap? Wire will be entering from the bottom of the light we it meets the wall, NOT through the wall.

This is similar to what I want my finished product to be: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Wooden-8m-X-4-8m-Pergola-car-Port-With-Or-Without-Polycarbonate-Built-To-Order/222998534804?hash=item33ebbf9a94:g:slIAAOxyoVZTHwil Only this is 8x4.8 - he is using 150x150 posts, 50x200 for the bearers and...
