They are offering a quote to start with at no cost. If the customer decides that they don't like the price, then they can just say goodbye. But often they'll take it if it's anywhere reasonable because they've already lost a days work waiting for the guy to turn up. And yes, prices will be...

It's possible that the substation people don't legally own it...but the owner may still not be able to do anything with it due to a right of access. eg. I own part of the private road in front of my house, but I can't block it off because my neighbours have right of access through it.

Seems likely to be brushed up against and accidentally operated? I have a table saw with a knee operated safety switch, but I doubt there would be such a need with a cooker.

As an ex-website programmer myself, the site code isn't bad. The coding is quite clean, and no more bugs than is reasonable for a single person company. Though the sound that plays on every page load gets extremely annoying. The bathroom zone image isn't original - I've seen it floating...

Yes. So at the letter of the regs, a socket in the airing cupboard would be allowed, I wouldn't recommend it. Not just due to being in a bathroom, but due to the chance of someone deciding that the clothes needed warming faster, sticking a 3kW heater in there and closing the door. (Or I...

I think it doesn't count as soon as you leave the room, as the bathroom will have a door on it. Yes, they could leave the door open to connect things, but having the door open will lessen the effect of condensation. And many people will insist on closing the bathroom door even when they are...

I think the joke goes : Q: "How many lightbulbs does it take to change a President?" A: "Just one. ...One petrol filled lightbulb." (Not quite sure how to describe it's colour)

Your certificate should have more information than just "rewire". It may well say how many sockets and what type of light fittings, so any changes to that might be able to be traced, depending on how many owners have gone by. But yes, it's probably only after an investigation that anyone...

So long as it's located high enough that there won't be any inadvertent splashing, I'd say it would be fine. It's not a bath or a shower, so it's not a "special area". However, I would make the lighting switch a pull-cord.

While technically you could use an FCU instead of a junction box, in this case I wouldn't recommend it as it would be confusing for a later maintainer as the sockets wouldn't be in the same room let alone the same location. Extending the ring circuit is the best idea.

*calculates* Your maximum usage is 16+6=22A, so the voltage drop for 4mm over 35m is 9.24V (>6.083V allowed for lighting circuit), so yes, 6mm is required, where the voltage drop would fall to 6.083V. I have fileserver, mail server and firewall. I used fibre for gigabit and cat5 as a 100Mb...

I had a very similar thing done. The trench took me ages to dig (not very fit and several tree roots in the way!), but the electrician took less than half a day to do all that you mentioned. I put 6mm SWA through plastic conduit (I put cat5 and fibreoptic in the conduit so I could put all my...

I'm in the same boat. As I'm 35, I'm not keen on spending years in courses or as an apprentice (assuming I could find a placement!) There's a few 'intense' courses that insist that C&G 2382-10, 2391-10 and then register for Part-P are all that you need. But I suspect that leaves a lot...
