Whatever you think of part p etc. anyone who has done a 2381 and testing and inspection course should now be able to install a circuit and test its safe operation. So ok you can say that they may not have experience of 3 phase supplies in rural farmhouses but to be honest they probably wouldn't...

Kier, My belief is that you can change any part as long as it isn't part of the gas system. So a pcb or fan would be ok but anything to do with the gas aspect would need to be done by a corgi fitter. Kev

They also contain a small pcb which can contain lead, antimony, cadmium, cobalt, silver just to name a few which when thrown away just end up in landfill which may cause problems in the future. There's a machine called a concentrator cell which can recover these precious and sometimes toxic...

These energy saving lamps do cause some issues with waste because each one contains a small "ballast" with precious and often toxic metals. So if you do use them make sure you recycle them (Ikea have bins for them to be recycled at). Kev

It is very painfull to work with, and often won't fit into the terminals of showers e.t.c. They'd be better off selling it on ebay and buying the right size for the job (unless they have a long run in insulation and a powerhungry shower and cooker.

Probably not ideal but I've always just filled them with waterproof adhesive before tiling. Kev

Fix a couple of bits of batten and plasterboard over it, would probably be the easiest and quickest way. kev

Hi, Hopefully someone will be able to clear this up. Over the last year I've done a c&g 2381 (with Haden) and the niceic testing and inspection course, the tutor on the first course said that like for like replacements were notifiable but the guy from the niceic (accredited) course said...

and there is actually they're !!

Cut slits in it and it should then fit over, you might need to cable tie or gaffer tape it onto the body of the fan though.. Kev

You can also get them with humidistats which shut them down when the humidity gets below a certain level. I'd go with an inline if you can because they are much more powerful than the on the wall units. Kev Good luck with it. You could ask a plumber, sparks or a general...

Thanks, I'll try that out tomorrow when I'm with the computers again and post the results. Kev

Hi, I'm trying to set up a network so I can share files across 2 pc's. They both run xp and i ran the xp network wizard on them. One can see the other but the other one can't see or connect. I've disables firewalls and am using the administrator logon, but they can't seen to connect...

BJS, my experience is totally different. Building control weren't interested in checking the first fix or the final installation. They just wanted a cert, which they wouldn't do themselves either. I know, I know.... They have to, but my local building control office wont. I called the...

But with part p anyone doing any electrical works should be working to the latest regs.. so in theory it should stop this. Kev But back in the real world......

phone the manufacturers!! Have a look at a few brands and then give them a call. Bal technical help are extremely helpful (or have been whenever I've called them). Good luck with it. Kev

where's it being run?

You can buy a specific tile primer if you are worried about the dotndab not biting enough! Kev

Could be either. Often the cable (from the ceiling rose to the lamp holder) deteriorates. Which could cause the problem, or it could be the lamp holder contacts. Or something else..... Good luck with it. Kev

That stuff is painfull. Just been asked to quote on a kithen refit, but the wall the wall units are hanging on are that type of board. Every time you close a cupboard door the units shake...... Good luck with it! Kev
