I used the earth from a socket,it only seems to be a problem on the lights in the frontroom,if i check continuity from the earth point in the light switches to earth in a socket there is none but i get 125v.We dont have a earth rod it uses the incoming earth which seems ok.the earth in the...

I touched the brass light switch in my front room today and it felt like it was vibrating,on further investigation I have found that the switches are not earthed the earth cable has been connected to the back plate but there is no continuity to earth,if I put my meter to earth and the switch...

Earth faults are normally the culprit when you have humming noise on your line,disconnection faults generally result in a crackle on the line.The Rat line test will not pick up a noisy line when caused by a disconnection fault unless it goes off completely,the rat will normally pick up a earth...

Correct the door from the utility to the kitchen is a internal upvc door and the one they were going to fit had a letter box in it :roll:

The window has only been in for 5 months so im pretty sure the should replace the glass free of charge,the only thing that bothers me is they were a nightmare to deal with and it took them 7 visits to do what a good window installer could do in a morning(trying to fit a internal kitchen door...

I was unfortunate enough to have my house burgled six months ago,anyway the insurance company sent out one of the glazing/security agents who changed the window and some doors (took them 7 visits but that is a different story).any way i have just had a phone call from my wife telling me that the...

You would do well to take note of the above advice,some private wires don't even go via a exchange and are only used to link remote buildings via the openreach d side network,as above they will often carry no voltage and the only way of telling is to test and look for a loop on the end.Either...

Its not something i have come across and am pretty sure the answer would be no, most new developments now just run the ducting and cable to the front of the houses from the distribution point in the pavement and fit the external nte next to the front door.i have worked on housing estates which...

The black cable(ug lead in)is behind a plastic cover with a tamper proof screw,on the cover it says "property of openreach keep your medaling hands to yourself"or words to the effect :lol: ,this will also only tell you the amount of pairs at that end it wont tell you that it then goes into a...

He is underground fed with a external nte,the third nte will be fitted internally

The ug lead in from the dp in the pavement to the end user is normally 2pr or 5pr like i said if you order the line it will be sorted,if there is a 2pr cable from the pavement to your house they will have to pull in a new 5pr cable,most modern houses when fed ug use ducting so this will not be a...

You may have a problem if the ug cable feeding the house is only two pair.On the rare occasion that a residential property has three lines and is fed ug and has a external nte fitted you can crimp the third line inside the external nte to the internal lead in and fit a nte5 inside the end users...

Do you have a working landline or have you ever had a working line in your house ?,the reason i ask is if its never worked since you moved in you cannot report a fault and secondly if you are having the line activated it will be tested after it is jumpered in the exchange and when it does not...

This is filmed down the road from me,while driving past one day last summer i noticed that someone had painted in big white letters on the roof of the finished building "EVEN ROMANS USED WHEEL BARROWS!",my guess is mr blobby and his gang got abit pi ssed off in the end. :P

It could be a exchange fault,sometimes the relay in the exchange equipment goes faulty and instead of ringing you just hear a clicking sound, a line test would not pick this up,the only way of telling is connecting a butt phone on the line and carrying out a ring back test. Plug a known...
