It is accessible, once the ceiling is up, the floorboard directly above the JB is lift-able for servicing the radiator connections. The wall of this house are non-cavity 11" solid brick, would protection for the cable through the wall really be necessary? However I have some conduit and so...

Just visited my friend's new house on which they've just completed purchase, whilst walking around I spotted some rather odd electrical configurations that I thought to share with you guys, not for answers necessarily but because I'm curious! - There was a double socket in an extension, into...

All, Had a busy today and managed to fit the external light, supply and switch cabling and wire the junction box. None of it's connected to the light ring yet and won't until I get a spark in to connect and certify it all along with the remaining lights that still await installation into...

I appreciate that testing myself doesn't replace an electrician's full test, but I do want to get some kit so that I can at least test the basics, continuity etc - can you point me to some sub £200 (ideally) kits that would be worth considering? Hoping to buy something this week if possible!

Sorry, I misunderstood your reply, I'm clearly not an electrician and if you had expanded on your comment, I might have fully understood the first time. Thanks for the clarification all...

Not necessarily as far as I am aware, it was simply to provide an additional level of protection for cabling that will run 1m up the external wall of my property. However, the cable won't exit until 11ft from the ground, so there isn't a significant risk from 'human' interference or potential...

So earthing of the steel armouring isn't required? Contrary to the threads that I posted?

That's why I'm asking, not doing, you fcking rude, patronising pr1ck... Offer up some constructive answers. if you're even capable, or don't bother responding at all. My question is as a result of these threads... http://www.diynot.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=91552...

You may have convinced me :D If opting for the steel armoured cable. would a few threads of the steel need pairing into the terminals with the earth conductors at each end for safety?

Thanks for your reply. I do seriously understand the requirement for testing and I appreciate that it has to be done. I did at an earlier stage consider buying some testing equipment but didn't as I genuinely intended to get someone in, but working full-time, juggling life whilst tackling a...

I know you're right but the only armoured cable I could find is black and very circular, I think it would look worse that this *alternative* which will blend in with the white of the house walls?

Quick question regarding the cabling type that runs through the wall and up to the external PIR. Having purchased some 1.5mm steel armoured cable, I'll have trouble discreetly running this thick black cabling up the external wall (approximately 1m travel from exiting the wall upwards -...

Hi, In my opinion you'd be better off spending the money on Google Adwords, Facebook is a great marketing toy but only for campaigns where you're audience are seeking entertainment, shows, games or gimmicks etc. For utilities and home repairs most will instead turn to Google and a search...

I get the testing and notifiable element, I get it...I get it...I f*cking get it. You're either here to help or you're not - if I asked a Policeman whether my car will do 80mph on a motorway, he'll probably reply patronisingly that "I shouldn't because its illegal". If I asked the dealership...

Riveralt, your responses in some past threads have been useful and constructive, but my questions don't relate to certification, notification or getting in an electrician - and let it be noted that calling in a local spark does in no way mean that the job is done properly as seen by threads on...

Yeah I responded to the questions that I could respond to.
