    Maintenance Free vs Maintained Junction Boxes?

    Sorry Andy, but i have to disagree with that. I have found problems with screw connections, either loose and causing flickering or random faults and even where the installer has gone too hard with the screwdriver and the (usually 1mm) cable has necked off adjacent to the terminal. Sorry to...

    Consumer Unit Distance from Meter and Lockable Isolator

    If vandals did rip the service fuse out, then it might provide a golden opportunity for the OP to install his/her isolator.

    Boiler doesnt switch off with timer

    does your heating system have valves fitted anywhere? If it does, maybe there is a fault at a valve.

    Hi John, I hope you are well. I did notice that, but as others had already pointed out his lack of knowledge i didn't really bother to raise it. However, as i've come back to this thread theres something else that I'm now wondering about:- He mentions fans and underfloor heating, he...

    One for the sparks...

    lol, in light of the replies Micheal the incompetent plumber has received, i very much doubt he'll be returning to respond to the comments put to him. I can see that as being far too embarrassing for him :lol:

    How does my DIY effort at a consumer unit look?

    I'm not certain he was responding on your behalf, as in the first part he has added the suggestion that you look at the whole of section 433. I doubt that was for my benefit as it would seem obvious that for me to point out a regulation within that section, it would suggest that i was already...

    Dispute with Electrical installers

    Maybe you are making too many assumptions that are biased to your favour? Maybe the back boxes loosed off due to poor fixing in the first place? Maybe they just agreed with you that they were done well in the first place to avoid upsetting you with telling you they weren't good. How many...

    Are there rules on placement of switch for combi boiler?

    Hi Gig, Given your post the other day I would strongly suggest that you stop what you are doing. http://www.diynot.com/forums/electrics/strange-little-situation-any-thoughts.311323/ I don't have a copy of ADPP to hand, but I think there are words to the effect that before you carry out...

    Dispute with Electrical installers

    erm, it still doesn't make a whole heap of sense, but any-hoo. :? Maybe it would have been wise to read the quote before handing over the shekels. Can't help but laugh at the fact that you now say that you agreed to do the back boxes, which you are not happy with and want them to...

    How does my DIY effort at a consumer unit look?

    try looking at 433.1.103. I wonder what BS1363 devices the OP has used in his cooker circuit? Also, just for information, have you looked at the notes in appendix 15. What does it say about cookers and similar devices with a rating over 2kW? What do you mean 'historical purposes'? Maybe not...
