I think you only need to add an RCD if the circuit has been modified in anyway. Changing a socket face or light fitting shouldnt be classed as a modification? (if one then a minor), but in this case, cables will be being buried and possibly a new spur being brought of the ring main

This pretty covers the answer to your question john, I was thinking along the same lines. I think to a degree, I am also paranoid in that sense. From what I can gather, I should be safe to do the work and get an electrician to check after first fix, and check and test after second fix and...

Okay thanks for the input. I will nicely ask an electrician I used to work for before starting work that they will certificate on completion if, They check at first fix, and check again and test after second fix?

What I meant by this was that work can only be certified by a qualified electrician, regardless of who done it. Meaning I couldn't certify it, I would have to get someone to check over it and test before certifying it. Aslong as I could get someone to test and inspect then think that should...

I will ensure these, I didnt think in regards to the RCD but if there is no RCD It would ideal anyway

Hi, I'm looking at refitting our kitchen and am looking at doing everything myself (with exception to gas). I am curious what the insurances take would be on doing the electrics myself. I am planning on the following; - Simply dropping the existing cables into the wall (chasing)...

Okay, thankyou, this is all I needed to know really :)

I read the 30sqm thing, it is definitely less than 30sqm. However, I read this on planning portal. which I cant make head and tails of, The conservatory is 4.25m x 3.25m floor, It is not a listed building. LINK: http://www.planningportal.gov.uk/permission/commonprojects/conservatories

How can it be proven when the conservatory was built in order to prevent the council saying it was done less than 4 years ago? I got January 2010 from a property search website, which shows previous sales of the house, it says "property details as of January 2010" and has a picture of the...

Hello, I am looking at buying a house which; - Had a conservatory built atleast before January 2010 - Had a loft conversion atleast before January 2010 # So I will go on the basis that the works where done in January 2010 My question is, what if there was no planning permission...

Okay, I have came to some sort of sense of his thinking, "Lectrician" what you said seems the obvious here so Im going on the basis that he genuinely didnt know what amp rating he needed, Im thinking hes either done one of the following, 32amp socket x 3 phases = 96amp, making him want...

Hey, thanks for the responses, I was thinking 25-35mm would be the approximate range, 70mm seems very excessive. I dont know much details to be honest with you, i just got told to ask, It will be for agricultural use (workshop), I don't know why it is 100amps he is after, giving that for...

Whatever would be suitable? (SWA I guess?) In terms of the core material, it shouldnt really matter so maybe sizes for both copper and aluminum so he could look at prices for either

Hello, A friend asked what size cable he would need for the following and I was not sure so said I would ask on behalf of him, 3-phase and neutral supply (so 5 core) (415v) Will be ran underground from the supply post, 100m to the building, Cable current carrying capacity of 100amps Any...

Oh so mop the floor quickly with stripper, let soak in for 5mins, scrub, then before the stripper dries, mop up with plain water? Think I got it :) I guess I need the floor pretty dry though to start the dressing though

Okay great, Is the pad I found online (on the link) okay to use? And wipe it up and down the grain of wood a few strokes then move on to the next part? Would I be correct in saying, giving the 30-60min drying time of the dressing that only mop the dressing on just so it wets the floor...

Also whats the chance these marks will come out giving the method above
