I had a new bathroom installed a short while ago, and a sparky did all the bonding. It seems all OK, basically I have 10mm cable to the stopcock (no gas in the house), and in the bathroom itself I have 4mm cable from the shaver socket earth (fed from the lighting circuit) to the cistern...

Yes it has an isolating sw and and RCD, I bought one today and it seems fine... thanks for the feedback

I need to get my old rewirable fuse unit changed, however due to space constraints (pipework either side) and the desire to have a split load unit I am struggling to get a new one that fits. Screwfix sell a Wylex 9 way unit which will just fit in the space, however are Wylex units OK...

Yes that makes sense, the bonding appears to be in order for when it was done (5 yrs ago?). I will improve when I next do some more major work/decoration thanks

I have just moved into a house and have had a good look around at the bathroom bonding. All the pipes (bath, basin, central heating) are all nicely bonded together, as are the pipes in the airing cupboard which also houses a whole house pump. However..... I notice the bathroom light ( a...

I was also thinking about fitting a cornice type halogen light ot the top of the cabinet shining down (it is zone 3), so the same earthing question applies!

Exactly my thoughts, hence the question!!

I want to fit a stainless steel corner mirror cabinet into my bathroom but want to fit a surface mount isolated shaver socket inside the cabinet just si it is neat and out of sight. The bathroom earthing and electrics are all up to standard, but the question I have is is it advisable to earth...

Plugwash et al... Sorry, photo not possible today but .....The consumer unit is a MEM AD8HE (8 way 100A RCD controlled). The electrician fitted an 100A isolator switch on the left side of the CU, with the RCD on the right side of the CU. He then cut the busbar so that on the left side was...

It certainly is a neat job, and he tested the RCD for operation and trip time using a digital plug into a socket gadget, so I have no doubts he knew what he was doing. He took the isolator switch from another non-split board he had. The question is - is it acceptable to have the RCD side...

On Saturday morning I had a split load consumer unit fitted. The electrician found that the consumer unit supplied by his supplier was incorrect and not a true split load unit. He could not source what he wanted but said no problem he could use the one he had (RCD non split load one). What he...
