SecureSpark, No idea TBH. Could be the door bell. I just seen two wires at the breaker labeled lights and wondered whether this was normal practice (if it was two lighting radials)

No probs there mate, cheers. She rarely has the lights on when she is in on her own. She prefers lamps plugged into the sockets. Good point tho

Thanks Sean. Everything is present and looks correct (Earth, Neutrals) all the lives look neatly wired and everything works as it should. Just thought I'd ask :)

I was having a look inside the CU at my grans flat (one level). All wiring was redone during extensive renovations in the mid 90's. She has one breaker for all her lights with two wires (red) in it. Got me thinking. Would this be two seperate lighting circuits into the breaker. And if...

Thank you. Appreciated. :)

If you were to change appliances and the new appliance carried a different rating than the old one is it just a case of fitting the appropriate fuse at the FCU?

Replaced a couple of lights at my folks house. Some nice 1970's brass eyeballs replaced with a couple of GU10 Downlighters. Anyway both lights are switched two way (top and bottom of stairs) but only one T&E wire was present at each light. Am I right in thinking there would be a rose type...

14" is quite a mistake :o :D With regards to digging down to see found level, sadly thats not uncommon. Depends on the officer but they can refuse a request to inspect newly dug founds only to demand to inspect them at completion, obviously by which time the building is now sitting atop the...

I took down a wall in a flat (that was over 100 years old and carrying the floor above) and inserted a steel beam. Phoned up building control to ask them if they wanted to see it before it was sheeted over and hidden from view. "No, take a lot of pictures" Carried on with the rest of the work...

Is that the Boiler in the bathroom?

That bell looks brilliant. They sure knew how to make things in the auld days

Hi Softus, I understand what you are saying but from my experience those at the council hold most of the aces therefore we try to adhere as much as is reasonably possible to what they request of us. We fell foul of a building control officer once simply because he had a fall out with the...

You asked what if I couldn't arrange completion? What exactly does this have to do with you and why does it concern you? I have chosen not to answer this question as frankly it is none of your business. Its that simple.

You were asking questions that have nothing to do with you. I chose not to divulge the information therefore I did not post it. You invited yourself to lecture me on how I conduct my business. I was merely posting my experience and adding to the discussion. Jump down from your high horse...

No offence Ban-All-Sheds but none of it is any of your business.

Hi Robert. For your last paragraph are you talking about work that is or isn't covered under a job that required a building warrant.

Why do you presume its a he? Thanks for the Business lecture. My client has paid what she owed for the work we have done up to the point we are at. There is still money outstanding which is due when Completion is granted (I would never expect any client to have paid the full balance before...

See my previous post. I am in Scotland. We aint got no Part P up here :lol: By me using that term 'We' I am referring to myself as the main contractor. At the time of this particular extension the completion 'pack' contained a section for electrical installations/alterations requiring a...
