Hi, I have just made a mould to make a stone window cill and want to make it out of cast stone - either bath or cotswold. Does any one know the mix needed for these ? The mould is 12" x 52" Thanks BW :?

Hugh Jaleak, im based at NN15 not sure where NN10 is, ive tried the brewery but as yet have been ignored. I imagine that it is pretty damp down there, and full of rubbish from the refurb, as im missing a few bits like stone window cills etc angled bricks all from when the refurb was done so...

I just read you message again. I dont blame householders for not knowing about Part P, I ask many of my customers if they have heard bout it and they say no, altough they always know about Corgi and inform me its now GAS SAFE, I think its about time that more Part P advertising is carried out to...

Hi, The first thing is did you involve building control in this ? How is it all tested ? did you do this yourself too ? just because it works doesnt make it safe. Do you live in a big house ? the amount of circuits do seem a bit excessive. 1) All these light could have gone on one...

Thanks for your replies, ive looked all round the building dug holes where I thought maybe stairs, studied all the outside stone trying to pin point something, I think that it has been extended many times, most recent in 1890's with red brick to the rear, there is also external style lintels...

Hello, I have moved to an old inn built in the 1600's and up until 1970's had a cellar. The cellar has been filled up and the entrance concreted in. I have drilled a few holes deep through the floor and managed to push a pipe nearly 3 metres down. However the whole floor is quarry tiles with...

This story is very sad, I have a two year old who managed to push a screwdriver behind a socket front, dont know how he did it as he pushed a hole in the plaster to do it, was very worrying as what could have been had he touched live terminal. During a visit from the ECA the inspector noticed...

The socket is a TNCS, however the portakabin is TT and fully rcd protected . The socket is 2 metres in the air and cannot be easily reached to plug anything else in, The Kabin is only 2 metres away if that. I think that I will replace the socket with an IP rated Adaptable box as no RCBO...

Yes it has, all circuits are protected.

Im sorry, doing ten things at once !! then edited it wrong The earth loop reading is fine

yes they did, because it wasnt RCD protected,

Does a 32 Amp outside socket at a factory unit need to be RCD protected ? It supplies power to a portakabin. wired in swa along the surface. just been given a list of jobs to do in a factory where a test company has been in and it has been listed as code 1, TIA

Thank you all for your information, Do you write down the values of the tests or just a simple pass ? jackc That would be great if you could send me a copy !! Im running vista if it matters ? Matt

Hello all, Im just in the process of designing my own Pat testing certificates and cant seem to find a definate list of what MUST be included. eg do I need to include serial numbers of all items (if poss) location of items ? class of item ? fuse and rating in watts ? will a simple pass...

Ive got a vauxhall vivaro, Its been absoutely trouble free ( unlike many ) but now its getting difficult to remove from reverse gear, Also on tick over the van shake until the clutch is pressed, does this sound like normal worn clutch problems ? It has covered 85000, is there a recommendation...

Ive just spoke to the guy who installed the PME and they informed me that they only do a 100 amp fuse, and are starting to use 80 amp on new buildings, obviously I cant use the old fuseboard !!

I dont know what fuse is inside but should I cut the seal take it to bits and have a look ? surely they should not miss label fuses, I dont take the fuse out on all my periodics and check, if there is no label then I put limited, the fuse holder etc etc is all brand new. The tails are 16mm...

the work in your kitchen should have been done by a part p qualified electrician, you should have test certificates, confirmation from their governing body that this work has been done and registered, (or they should have informed the building inspector if not part - p), you should make them...

You cant just creat a radial like that, the chances are that your ring main covers an area larger than it really should, and a radial covers a smaller area, it may be possible to split the ring in half , remove the link and create 2 radials however that neutral would still need to be fitted, the...
