Is this install compliant to regs??? i only ask as the supposedly new submain is on old colours except you have for some reason sleeved the black with blue tape?. Old colour tails feed the switchfuse also and you have just broken the neutral feed to an old isolator to introduce your neutral...

Or indeed he could be installing a new shower with a new 50A switch (which is the original post) if the shower switch has been moved then it falls foul of the Part P police or if its a new circuit which it sounds like it is . Nick

Can you tell us the model of the shower so we can look at the instructins for ourselves then maybe advise the manafacturers they are stoopid. Did it by any chance mention Part P in the instructions and the need to use a registered competent person to do the work?? Nick

I do hope you have cross bonded all the trays together BAS, and taken an earth back to the MET . I look forward to seeing some pics one day

Chances are that as expected Ban all Sheds will give a sarcastic good for nothing unhelpful answer to a question he has no real knowledge about. The OP has not come back to confirm if it is an RCD or MCB yet you jump on the bandwagon AGAIN to criticise the oppinons of a tradesman . Who is to say...

Chances are if is a fitting with low voltage lamps and a transformer in it then your electrician has not taken into account the surge on a circuit containing a transformer. Get him back and subject to the maximum EFLI values being acceptable he needs to change the MCB to a C type to overcome...

Brother make tamper evident label tape for their P touch range , At a price though, about £30 for 8m Nick

Plasplugs are back now Bahco, they have been bought out by the son of the man who originally founded the company. I use a plasplugs master tiler and have just bought a new porelain cutting blade off of ebay for £20 . Cuts like a knife through butter now. Nick

Simples, put battery in charger, then take out and put straight back in repeat till nice tune comes out of charger, mine plays american baseball music Lol Only works with makita lithium battery chargers. Nick

You may have been hasty in condemning this cable to the skip. They did make NEW stranded 1.5 T+E as i used some around that time for a job it came in direct from the manafacturers. Have you tried looking on the cable for a date stamp/manafacturer or basec approval marks?? this was about the time...

Admittedly martin its not a good idea to be trying to change the mcb in the fuseboard unless you have the required level of competency. However it is NOT illegal to touch anything in the fuseboard and by making such a statement is misleading. Just wanted to clear that up . Nick

If your spending all this money on spurs and sockets and a new mcb , why not buy a garage consumer unit which will allow you to terminate the 10mm cable with ease and will mean you have more capacity for any other future needs up there.. Search in screwfix for a garage consumer unit. you can...

BAS is definiteley practicing, what he is practicing for nobody is quite yet sure, As the sayng goes practice makes perfect, and we ALL know that BAS is perfect so F Knows what he is doing.

Yep us too, except now they have even banned them from the skanska sites we work on due to them being finger trappers and unwieldy to get round site .have to use stupid 4 wheel podiums with differing heights on them. What they dont seem to see is how much it costs them in damaged paintwork and...

LOOK AGAIN AT THE CABLES. They did not make a twin and earth cable with blue and red and an earth. They did make a 3 Core and earth which had red, blue bare earth and a YELLOW. The yellow is not an earth but more likely the switched live to the fitting. We need to know whats at the switch to...

I have the brother PT7600, it does almost everything you want it to do, the best feature of it is the panel labelling feature and also the fact that the labels are laminated as soon as they come out of the machine. Most if not all dymo labvels are not laminated . The ionly thing it will not do...

Doubling up seems to be the theme of this one, also reversed polarity on the tpn supply by the looks of it . Nice hole in top of DB to ensure IP2X

If its the exit from a restaurant then it MUST be an emergency light to illuminate the escape route. By removing it you are contravening building regulations and the fire officer/licensing authority will not be happy. Just replace it like for like and be done with it. By law the owners of the...

Post some pictures and i am sure we can work out whats happening, sunds like a typical conservatory add on bodge to me, but we should be able to advise much better . Nick
