Thank you. So I don't use the neutrals? There problem is that the new switch is intermediate so I don't know what to do as I wasn't expecting the wiring that way. I did wire the same way with the 2 red wires but it didn't like it.

Hey all, Well basically someone gave me some nice unused light switches so I decided to fit them in my living room. The problem was that they were intermediate so I couldn't match up the wiring. I need to use them both as a single switch. There is the living room switch and then a switch for...

Yeah that's an option. Just not sure how I will feel about the gap.

Hey guys, Basically I just got some 6 x 6 ft dip treated fence panels to replace my 3ft high panels but after spending out on them I kind of can't afford all the gravel boards. I have wooden fence posts so I thought it would look better with wooden gravel boards. I have some closeboard panels...

Yeah ok thanks. So really all the sockets wiring now needs to be visually inspected?

Ok so it went off tonight about 8.15 and according to the led light flashes it is saying it is an series arc fault?

I only just found that so next time it trips I will try and catch it and see. It's the upstairs/downstairs sockets that trip nearly all the time but occasionally the kitchen will too. So on average the sockets trip 3-4 times a night and the kitchen maybe 1-2 times a month. I have been...

To add to what I posted above yes It does say B32 and here is a closer picture. It also says something about showing what type of fault it is by how the leds flash?

Here is a few pictures of my consumer unit set up. Is that what you mean?

I have Honeywell ST699B boiler control I think. Strangely as I am sat here writing this the sockets have just tripped twice in a short space of time. The kitchen sockets went off about 5 seconds after the rest of the sockets. The main switch never trips. I have the tumble dryer and oven on but...

Ok guys. I just realized that the electric seems to be tripping at almost exactly 8 pm every night and it very rarely if at trips in the daytime. I don't have any lights on sensors or anything. I have 2 external lights that are either switched on or off. One of those lights didn't work when I...

Thanks very much for the info. I think I need to tell them this and make myself clear.

Yes I am aware of all that, It was already mentioned above. I didn't know that before I changed them and they have been changed back already, Loads of people do it whether it's right or wrong. I am more capable than most and have worked in the building trade for over 20 years so I am not an...

I am not allowed to touch them as I am renting but the light flashes on them. They just randomly go off when they shouldn't. They were new when they did the consumer unit by the looks of it. I told them and they said I would have to wait 3 months for an appointment to fix them. I bought some...

Also I just remembered that I took the doorbell off to replace with a wireless one. I just tucked the wires behind just in the hole. Could that cause any issues? Should I have capped them off? I think it was all disconnected when they changed the consumer unit and I can't see a box on the wall...

Ok thanks. Can a problem with something on the kitchen circuit affect another group like the upstairs/downstairs sockets? Ok that makes sense. Thanks. I am going to pull the washing machine out and check for water leaks. Could a problem in the kitchen or boiler trip the downstairs/upstairs...

Hi everyone, Basically I moved house last July and we have had random problems with the electric tripping for most of that time I think. But it seems to be getting worse and it is always between like 7pm and 10pm. It's housing association and it looks like a new consumer unit was fitted just...

Ok thanks. What other information would be helpful? I have a picture of the consumer unit?

Hey guys. I moved to a new house last year and it has a breaker that controls both floors sockets all together. My old house was seperate. Is it possible to have a breaker for each floor and how much work would it take please?

I decided to do it properly with slc. I have a problem with my gf's cat peeing by the front door so I have gotta address that first and get rid of smell. Gonna buy slc today. Thanks for the advice.
