    Problems with builder

    I may be wrong here but my understanding is a builder can sign off new Windows as part or a build and fensa is a self certification scheme for contractors to replace existing windows without you having to get building control out to inspect. So your builder should sign off the windows. The...

    Advice and thoughts for a loft conversion (Lots of pics attached)

    The "loft conversion manual" on Amazon is how I planned mine and it answers most of your questions. I didn't find rsj to be very expensive and they can potentially be bolted together in situ. A bigger thought might be whether you have services e.g. plumbing or electrics currently sat lying in...

    Tails to second consumer unit

    For some reason when the rear extension was built ~ 20 years ago they added a second unit and ran the new stuff off that. Western power rang me back today re their fuse, apparently it is an 80 amp fuse.

    Tails to second consumer unit

    Thanks guys, Consumer unit switch - bg cusw100 in=100a 230v/400v The distribution company fuse amp is imprinted in the plastic not labelled - to all appearances I could snip the security seal and tug it out were I so inclined! I guess to see the actual fuse you would have to remove it as you say.

    Thanks for your reply. It goes incoming mains>distribution company fuse>meter>rccb isolator>Henley blocks then divides to the consumer units. Distribution company fuse is 100a written on the fuse itself. I won't pull it as that would be foolhardy and the seal is intact. I'm thinking from the...

    Tails to second consumer unit

    Thanks for the replies guys. The cable lies secured to ceiling joists and the attic will be converted hence it will likely be within 50mm of surface. The incoming supply has a 100amp fuse without a switch. The isolator is an rccd green on red off device which I think edf fitted. Would metal...

    Tails to second consumer unit

    I was hoping someone could clarify this for me. I have two consumer units. From the meter, 16mm tails go to an isolation switch and then to a Henley block that divides to one consumer unit close to the metre and one eleven metres away, again with 16mm cable. Both consumer units have a 100amp...
