All the neutrals are in the correct slots and nice and tight. Nothing crossed, the rccb can trip when a light switch on either circuit is switched, not necessarily the mcb but the actual switches. The only thing I can think of other than a dodgy rccb is that somewhere in the ceiling void...

Yeah the mercury could cause you some issues! I had mercury poisoning, and the chelation therapy and general feeling or death warmed up that stuck with me for a while before and after it was diagnosed was enough to make me leave a room pretty quickly when a flouro tube is broken. Kev

If they disconnected the old one on the old meter, I can't see how they can say they're not responsible for not bonding the new one. Kev

Anyone! Kev

Hi my brother in law has a crabtree split load board, the installation is fairly good, all bonded correctly and the cabling is tidy. Everything in the right place and tight. The lights are on the non protected side and the sockets are on the protected side as they should be.... However...

Take a look at the Kewtech range, you can get them for a good price if you shop around. They are the old robins. Good testers.

Never seen them for sale, if you do find them before you buy make sure that your walls are at 90 degrees. In my experience they very rarely are so off the shelf mitre cut tops don't really work.. Kev

Not answering your question but asking a different one. How come you have to join 3x 10mm cables? The only way I can see you doing it is with a big old 60 amp junction box (you can terminate 25 mm in the biggest ones, so should be able to get 3x 10 mm in). Good luck with the search!

If its going to be accessible you can use the junction box, if not then crimp and seal with self amalgamating tape. You can join the colours if you put a new colours sticker on the CU. This work is notifiable to LABC. Cost wise I'd stick with the gas hob, cheaper to run than an electric.

No too hard to work out, when you torch it (depending on the manufacturer) you need to burn the cling film off and get the bitumen hot enough for it too almost run. After a couple of attempts you'll crack it. I always have a wet towel when i do felt roofs, to put the torch on when I'm not using...

I've got a set of bosch diamond core drills, they're great! Kev

Thats the site I was looking at. The price for the kt62 is probably unbeatable for a brand new bit of kit. Kev

Hi has anyone got any experience of the Kyoritsu 6010b. Its made by kewtech, who used to make the old style robin testers, It looks like a decent unit for sensible money but I'd like to know if anyone has given it a whirl! Thanks, Kev

Try an enamel rubber. You can get them from any decent bathroom showroom or alternatively you could buy an "aga" rubber which is the same thing you can use to clean "aga" cookers. Kev

Please can someone help me with this..... We live in a block of flats, we own our one and while looking round the place I took a look at the incoming supply where the 20 service fuses for the flats are and they are all mislabeled. some have 3 or 4 numbers on them, crossed out e.t.c. and I am...

Johnd is right, I ended up getting it sorted over the phone but were still waiting for the date. I'd def push for the henley block and if possible an isolator switch in between the meter and the CU. Kev

Stick a handful of filler in it and mix it well. Kev

Yup, Sugar soap is what most adhesive manufacturers recommend and I've used it loads of times. Just make sure you rinse it off well!! Kev

Any IT equipment? Anything from 75p to £5 per item depending on the situation and whether its ready to test or not. Kev

Crimp and heatshrink. Kev
