A number of factors can affect it. Ventilation, existing lung function, amount of fibres inhaled. The risk is there. Like I said, my dad died of it.

I'm afraid you don't know what you are talking about. No offence Like! I know first hand why people die of exposure to asbestos!

I thought I might have had asbestos in the bathroom plaster as the house was built in the 40s. I sent a sample away to a lab for testing and it came back negative (£25 i think it was). Please if anyone thinks they are dismantling asbestos, DON'T! Get a specialist team in to deal with. My...

Thanks for everyone's feedback. The work 100% has to be done by a select approved electrician. The council wont budge on this unfortunately. managed to get a select approved spark through the builder i am getting to do the structural work. £220 to fit an extra wired smoke alarm and produce...

Anyone?

Hi, I need to pay a select qualified electrician to install a smoke alarm for an up and coming building warrant (Scotland). A few electrician have commented the certificate costs £150 as they need to check the wiring in ALL of the house. Surely they would just be signing off the circuit...

Toolstation for the fittings, screwfiix for the actual conduit

I think that probably is the way to go. It's a total mud bath at the moment. Will wait and see how good the summer is.

I have made a very crude drawing of my ground floor. I have a semi detectached house with one hard wired smoke detector in the bottom hall (as shown in the picture) and one in the upper landing.

As part of the building warrant approval my local council have said I need a smoke alarm in either the living room or dining room. The building warrant is to knock the wall down between these two rooms and install bi folding doors. The council have stated I need this smoke alarm and it has to...

Oh right didn't know that. I am sure my 2 existing smoke alarms aren't linked. Does it say in the regs that they need to be all linked?

I have a smoke alarm in the hall about 50cm away. But there is a brick wall in the way :( Sounds like it needs to be off the lighting wiring. Thanks for your reply.

Hi! I am knocking down a load bearing wall in between my living room and dining room. I put in for a building warrant in my local council (Scotland). They have now said i need a wired smoke alarm in the living room. Can this be wired into the existing lighting circuit? Or would it be best...

If I do twin and earth in 25mm PVC conduit, would that be acceptable? Also for the tee junctions like this http://www.neweysonline.co.uk/neweys/images/site/products/large/044_1008_NE02_NLRCA27_large.jpg For the outlet where the cable goes to the light would I use a gland? I cants we any...
