So who is going to answer my questions and probably pick the faults :D

House set up before changes

I will apologies in advance as I have no picture but I'm going to describe my earthing set up. The main L-N wires terminate before the main fuse in what seems to be some sort of metal block (Almost like a up turned triangle) the earth cable has been fastened below this around the incoming...

At work so cant post picture at the moment but what looks like has happened the the previous owner (was a sparky go figure) has forced the additional tails into the meter along side the existing meter tails (I.e same hole and it don't look big enough as i can see exposed copper) sounds like...

I have been looking into having an electric shower fitted 9.8KW and need to run a new cable from the CU to the shower (old shower is just a pump and off ring main) Now i need to get a spark in to do this as i will need 10mm cable running 3 meters in a wall possibly in cavity (is this a...

So it looks like i have it correct in my mind to meet the extractor fan spec

Hello I'm trying to wire a new extractor fan which requires a L, SW, N, According to the instructions this needs to have an isolator and a fuse so I'm trying to figure out the wiring. My idea is to take T&E of the lighting circuit to a DP fused sure then take more T&E to a switch from...

Right I'm no sparky but from what i can see is in the old light you have Live Neutral Earth Switched Live I'm guessing that you will find that your switch live is from some sort internal switch to override and keep the light on permanently. Your new light might not have this! or the...

Nothing said about cleaning the system though as other people have suggested will it need it controls TRV and gaspiping included i dont think you can have a new system without unless its completely doggy

Ok now been looking at relays what i think i need is a 6 AMP + (lighting circuit capable of switching at least a 500w light. now Im going to show my ignorance and some one is bound to say if you don't know you can't do or part P but understanding the limitation is worth more to me rather...

Thank you all you have been very helpfull

I mean alarm panel with fire detectors added too it i was hoping as it is to be mounted next to the CU that the need for a spur might not be needed but in my hast i don't think MK make RCBO below 6amp (CU not split way) so spur it is

Just in the process of getting a new Alarm / Fire Alarm i want to satify th 17th that Fire alarms are on a separate circuit NON RCD or RCBO Though if this is connected directly with a 3 amp switch do you still need an additional fuse spur?

I was looking for a really neat way of doing it, I'm quite @n@l really. i was hoping i might just be able to directly switch the other light off one PIR while leaving its own PIR intact. Looks like the best solution might be to try and get the sensor areas to over lap though most are only say...

I have a reasonably long garden with a garage at the other end to the house, We always gain access to the house though the garage. What i would like to have two flood lights one on the garage pointing up the garden and one on the house pointing down the garden. I would like PIR on both lights...

I have just moved into a 1950 Semi and would like to increase the insulation in the roof before winter. Eventually we would like to convert the loft into another so i would prefer to insulate right from the word go!! To do this I'm going to have to insulate the rafters which are only 70mm...
