When I saw that you put my name in capitals (shouting) I thought you were being funny not friendly. Alls well that ends well.

Just went through all the lighting in the house myself and everything is switched through the live correctly and all earthling from light to light is in place and correct apart from the earth in the downstairs switch to switch the upstairs light switch, that one is being used as a common for the...

SCOUSESPARK, I don't know what the hell your talking about that I'm talking in a foreign language in my posts. SCOUSESPARK if you stop highjacking other peoples post then there wouldn't be any confussion in the first place! Thanks all for your help. Jobs underway.

I understand about the dangers of having a earth wire as a live now. I will see what is wrote on the certificate when it arrives. The switch upstairs has an earth but not the one downstairs. I have just exchanged the bulb with the one in the bedroom thats also a low energy bulb but made by...

He has done work here but the lighting is old wiring that was already there. Part of his work here involved installing a CU so he had to check all of the electrics. Don't remember the certificate name but he is posting it soon.

Thanks for the link.

Can some one please explain to me how and where it should be bonded as per the regs? Thanks

So it should never of been passed then?

I did a search and found some interesting facts on what is causing this. Its says there should be a 3 wire and earth cable to go from down stairs switch to upstairs landing switch, 2 way 1 gange I think they call it. In my case its a twin and earth with the earth wire sleaved in red and used...

Yes there was no shower so I put a new one in and he run the cables and did the connection from the CU.

I have a Philips low energy light bulb on my landing. From the very first day I put it in I have had a fault with it. If I put this bulb anywhere in the house it doesn't’t do it. If I put the same type and make of bulb from down stairs into the landing fitting that will do the same. When the...

Ok on not needing an earth rod at the garage. Should the electrician give a part p pass in the bathroom with the bonding left like it is?

I’m a bit confused about part p. The electrician came back the other day to fix the reverse polarity on the lighting circuit and before that he wired the new shower and pull switch in the bathroom, changed the old fuse board and put in a new Consumer Unit, sockets in the loft, and put power...

Will do. Thanks for the warning. Do you know of any good cheap makes that are ok?

Yes it was on Ebay. If you search for, FLUKE 17B Digital Multimeter with AC Transducer Clamp you will find the one that I'm intrested in buying. If it is a ripoff, fake then let me know and I will stay well clear of it. Thanks

Does anyone own or know if the FLUKE 17B Digital Multimeter with AC Transducer Clamp is any good? Thanks

Yes from the pearling. Not a single binder though, a complete floor made of 4x3" joists @ 90 degrees to the old. Then join each new joist with old @ every cross over with coach screws to tie it all together. Does this sound ok to you? What size coach screws do you suggest I use...

What I've decided to do is acro prop the bedroom ceiling/floor in loft up straight to take out the sag in the 4x2" joists and put some steel straps from each joist to the pearling to keep it there. Then I’m going to put some new plained red wood 4x3” 13 feet long from the main bearing wall to...

There are two pearlings evenly spaced down the roof timbers running out of the apex wall and running all around the roof and back into the apex wall again. The bottom of the two pearlings have a vertical strut half way along each side down onto the main bearing walls. I don't have any binders at...
