P drop, Not sure you've grasped the fact that, with the exception of rented properties covered by Landlord regulations, from a legal point of view, almost nobody has to comply with what BS7671 or the IET say. Get several quotes, go with the one you prefer.

I'd say that a junction box behind a radiator is not accessible so it needs to be a maintenance free JB. I've never seen any that will fit in a 2-gang backbox

Yes, that's my conclusion having looked at the graphic on them.

Yeah, they're about £100 inc. each. So £900+ labour. Not actually that much in terms of the amount of other work needed on the building in preparation for a new, fully repairing, lease.

Pods might be the answer, I'll check the exact part number of the MCBs. They've been in for over 15 years, I think (no sign of an EIC)

Solid neutral (the description is "1-pole and neutral" not "1-pole + switched neutral")

Hi, does anyone know if Eaton Memshield do a 32A C curve type A SPSN 10kA single module width RCBO to fit their TP+N DB.and if so, the part number? I've searched every supplier I can think of and can only find solid neutral version. We'd need 9 of them. Looking at Eaton's web site just adds to...

Steam irons start around £14. What does £120 get you and is it worth it?

The RCD did not trip as the current imbalance was not sufficient. Dishwashers, etc, generally have a delta suppressor capacitor, which places low-value (often 0.1uF ) capacitors between L-N, L-E and E-N. If the appliance chassis is not, for some reason, connected to earth, then the chassis will...

Office 2010 works fine on W10, that's what I use when I need it. Don't know if it works on 11 but very likely. Libre Office is pretty good. Mainly I use what evedamadiynot suggests.

Yes, Mint is a lightweight OS based on Ubuntu with all the basic software pre installed. I run it on my 13 year old ThinkPad. Not all Windoze software will run under Wine, but it's a good place to start and you can run VB on Mint if needed.

For that, I run virtual Windoze machines under VirtualBox (VB), isolated from the internet in the case of W2000, XP & 7. I still have apps that require XP & 7 , and I have a W10 VM with Office 2010 which lets me get round the odd Libre Office/ MS Office compatibility issue, of which there are...

The problem with recording using a usb drive on a smart tv is that, unlike eg a Tivo, most of them (tvs) do not allow you to record one or two channels simultaneously whilst at the same time watching a third. However, since just about everything is available over the Internet on catch up, this...

Bare wires and cotton reels? :whistle:

Why does the pump have to be built in? What's wrong with using a small shower pump?

But why would you want to clog up your machine with W11 when you can run Ubuntu. which will give you a familiar feeling GUI, with Thunderbird email client. Libre Office and either Firefox or Chromium browser are zero cost? You can download Ubuntu, then you will need to create a bootable usb...

Exactly. 411 says you can, 415 says you can't and refers you back to 411, which says you can. USW. So the regs are self contradicory are need to be corrected in a future addendum. Ps I missed your post #29, there are so many long posts in this thread

Doesn't 411.whatever have something to say about RCDs providing ADS?

Yes, of course they would. But then they should know the answer.
