    fibreglass roof newbie

    Hi folks, got a small tool store roof I'm replacing, I've done fibreglass work before on boats, obviously working in moulds is different, but I have a couple of questions, 1, If I got the matting on in one day, does it matter if there's a few days before I get the gel coat on, with work...

    measured zs too high vs calculated

    As suggested allready, try taking a reading or two from the backs of sockets, there is sometimes resistance on the switches of sockets, with old sockets I often flick the switch off and on a few times then measure again, often makes a difference, have you tried zs from the output terminals of...

    Self wiring in kitchen - uncertified

    but as we often find, Joe Public has little knowledge of PIRs, it's down to your solicitor & surveyor to bring this to the attention of the poor s#d who pays them a lot of money to do these things. Then it's down to finding a good sparky capable and willing to do it properly, and then...

    Steel Beam Calculations

    Is there a formula for working out the size of steel RSJ needed for supporting a wall?, I want to take a wall out between our dining/living rooms, it's a 9' long, 5 and a half inches thick brick wall, above is two bedrooms and another similar wall, which is off set by 3' (ie, not above the...

    I think I need a second trip switch

    From what you say, it's not TT, the E7 board doesn't have to have an RCD provided that none of the wiring for that board is buried in plaster less than 50mm from the surface, and to know that you'd have to know the layout of your property very well, as I said before, I'd be more concerned about...

    I think I need a second trip switch

    he doesn't mention anything about having two RCD's, so I'm assuming there's only one, we don't yet know if it's TT, but if it isn't, and the 100mA is protecting the main board (ie the normal tarrif board) then I would at least change the protection to 30mA, prefferably to a RCBO loaded board or...

    Circuits tripping after consumer unit change.

    Firstly, as I'm sure you're aware by now, the cicuits should have been tested during the CU swap if not before, I prefer to test first, sort any problems, then swap the CU, the last thing I want is to start finding problems late in the day and finish up working till stupid o'clock to sort it...

    Self wiring in kitchen - uncertified

    if you're worried about possible problems for selling on, I would suggest getting a PIR done, my thinking is that providing it is done properly, it's as good a way as you're ever gonna get of proving that the electrics are sound, and if a buyers surveyor or solicitor asks, you have the paperwork...

    Electrics myself?

    your public liability linked to your household insurance is to cover for things like slates falling off and hitting someone who happens to be walking by etc (I think), best thing to do is speak to your local building control dept, or better still, get your cousin to speak to them, he'll be able...

    I think I need a second trip switch

    Sounds like you may also need to look at getting the 100mA "RCB" swapped for a 30mA RCD, what type of system do you have? Is the main earth terminal connected to a spike in the ground? This would be a TT system which would explain the 100mA, but that would normally protect the whole of the...
