In this house, they are rings. In my parent's house they are rings.

Time and date of first post?? Ohhhh! Nooo! Is a serious question which a couple of folks have answered to the affirmative.

Yes, I did mean lighting ring. No I can't issue certification - but that's why I'm to leave everything I'm doing exposed for the Building Controls inspections.

Yes, yes... deffo have to strip it all out - I've started in the loft now - there are wires running in all directions from the previous rewiring & older wires still up there - taking some time to identify what cables NOT involved with upstairs lighting is doing there. While I'm in the loft -...

I'm rewiring some stretches of this house I'm remodeling [ 1 & 1.5mm on some of the socket ring, nail and rodent damage etc ]. Client has asked me to lift as few floorboards as is possible - but I want to clip cable to joists upstairs and down - would it be considered to be acceptable if I...

CONTINUING SAGA.... Started looking at the electrics of this house I'm remodeling - Seem to have 249v Live Neutral Seem to have 178v Live to Earth Kinda thought I should have higher voltage to Earth? TT system - not convinced it's earthed properly New looking earth cable wanders...

Mains cold supply

On 1 hand price isn't too much of an issue - but not silly money for 'designer looks'. Looking at various specs, you can go to approx 10.5kw, which should indicate heating ability & therefore maximum flow rate at a reasonable temperature.... Kinda wondering how those like Mira Sport are able...

I suppose 'Duty of care', which stands up everywhere else, doesn't here? [ Whole new can of worms... maybe not a good idea to go there ]

Hmmmmm! :?

Sorry, I was referring to the ELCB - given the meter is recent, I was kinda assuming the out-of-date ness, would have been sorted when it [the meter] was put in. Yeah, start from scratch -

Hmmmm! The meter can't be that old - you'd think the leccy board would have condemned it if obsolete - then again, if the guy was to just put a meter in.... I'm going to say 'yes' but have no clue what MET is - will look it up! The board on the right is for economy 7 - Storage heaters -...

A few more as promised... The cut wires on the non-tripping trip - wondering what they connected to. With 3 or 4 sockets on surface mounted extensions - originates plugged into a socket in the same room. Yet, with all this spaghetti, why all the extensions? Heh! Ah well...... step...
