Now that part effin p is here isnt it about time the likes of the big diy supermarkets stopped selling electrical products, like wise i dont think they should sell gas products either, leave it to the pro's and let the pro's get it as we always have done from the trusty wholesaler...or am I just...

Perfectly adequate, no need to fuse down just take off lighting circuit as you were going to. Just noticed its in a bathroom so you will need to notify as its classed as a special location also downlighters will need to be ip rated if anywhere near water splash.

[/url] I know the ones you are on about the fine spray they give off is next to useless, i was trying to steer the op towards the 5ltr above / under sink ones with the large swan neck spouts, rather than them piddly ones. . . A bit more money to splash out on but worth the extra ( pardon the...

You wont get a test passed with lead wiring it went out with the arc. Rewire asap. A complete rewire and test on a 1 bed flat ? Would say betweem £1000 to £1500 depending on what you have fitted, having said that though its been a while since i have done any domestic jobs for myself so i stand...

heatrae sadia or redring both do over sink hot water boilers with variable thermostat for handwashing etc. Failing that get a mains pressure below sink heater and put a normal tap on it.

Always a shortage of subbie sparkies in York and surrounding areas, even more so when the olympic stuff kicks off, one thing good there tho. . .Im never outta work and i can pick and choose my job, with contracting if you dont like it you move on. Having said that subbies often get bad press as...

With reference to last nights quake. Why does joe public phone the emergency services when something like this happens just to ask was that an earth quake or tell them oh my house just shook. The emergency services are there for one reason EMERGENCIES ie if your life or your property is in...

I felt it in Driffield, woke me up with a rumbling noise first then came the movement the bed started shaking then the rads started rattling, then it stopped so i turned over looked at the clock which said 12.58. And went back to sleep. What i cant understand though is why do people phone the...

Not my disasters but a couple whilst working with my collegue at Notts council, first one was when my mate was putting up a bayonnet fitting in a wc above a toilet...he dropped his snips into the pan...shortly afterwards the tenant went into her kitchen and in a rather loud voice said theres...

You would be better off getting a local approved electrician my love rather than doing a diy job that is more for the professional to do. That being said just for your info you would need to run a three core and earth between the second floor switch and the third floor switch ( 2 way ) then...

Explain yourself, course ive heard of diversity. What I was saying there was say both the hob and cooker were totalling 7kw plus, a new circuit would be needed to split the loading. However if the hob say pulled 4kw and the oven needed only 2kw then they could both go on the existing circuit.

could you enclose the metering etc in a cabinet, that should satisfy them, had a similar problem in my last house, put a cabinet in with a latch on it and they went ahead and did the work. It was ao old terraced house and metering came into bathroom they wouldnt touch anything until i had built...

to be sure the correct size cable is fitted you need to tell us the appliance loading details, if both appliances are above the max allowed for the existing cooker supply you may also need a new supply putting in.

simple. . . nothing, there is no requirement to go back and change work done, im really sure customers would love you just turning up, oh hello mrs the iee have changed the regs sorry to say but your house no longer complies and im gonna charge you again to put it right, i dont think anyone but...

No problems there then, keep both reds together and place in the terminals with / next to the brown wires and the two blacks together in the blue wired termimals.

what about joe 90's comment then that you keep ignoring, what grade alarms were you installin 20 years ago ? Lets imagine yesterday you were installing ungraded alarms yet today the rules have changed from now on you have to install graded alarms - does that mean that even though the product...
