i will ask him...as i explained if not then his boss may be if not i will get a 3rd party certifier from the local housing development i am not afraid to pay for that kind of expertise and legality i have emailed my council to see what they will charge for an inspector to do it in any event it...

these are on ebay either sector or Ge i found out the sector equipment are compatible..both ways?..with wylex re: the heater load...i may reduce this to 1Kw...the garage isnt habitable and even after all the insulation...we will lose all the heat when the skoda comes out to gobble up some...

what would make it lawful.? i am willing to comply Under the new regulations those carrying out the work but who are not registered with a competent persons' scheme will have to get the work signed off by a registered third party. This potentially could create a new stream of work for...

you can seal it up if you dont need to disconnect it with the tape mentioned in another post self amalgamating tape. https://www.screwfix.com/p/self-amalgamating-rubber-tape-black-25mm-x-3m/2115v its a bit tricky to get the backing off and it will stick to itself if you dont hold it straight...

hi Andy...did a close up...looks like 15A.. does that mean the radial can take the max Kw of the load i expect to use. ?...it may be i can just fit a 1Kw fan heater or a halogen lamp on the wall this is where i need pro advice backed by regs...my pre-apprenticeship electrics at trade college...
