I know that the DNO ?? have been contacted a few times but they never come out to check or phone back like they say. So what would be the best way to monitor the power?

This is what i was thinking. The demand has defo gone up over the years as the boats have become more modern with more electrical gadgets attached to them. For example, when i first arrived i plugged in and the breaker kept tripping. It was upgraded from a 6amp to a 10 amp. Obviously the...

Ok, thankyou So we need to monitor what the supply is at the main meter ( leaving the main meter) then? If that is ABOVE 216.2v just after the meter and the volts are low at boats then thats the marinas problem to sort ? If BELOW 216.2v then the electric board have to sort out ...

Hi, Just after some advice. I have a boat that i retire to at the weekends. Its kept at a boat club rather than a Marina. (Same sort of set up) The problem im having and the rest of the boat owners is we are getting less than 190volts out the sockets on the boats. Summer time we...

Reading with interest (im not a sparky so dont know) This diversity thing is down to not using everything at once? My mrs last year while cooking Christmas dinner was using every hod and both the ovens most of the day. Would this still be o.k ? I presume that even tho she was using...

I would defo report it to who ever maintains the building.

Hi, Not sure if you can edit your title but you have Vinyl not Lino. Only saying as some people might not read to give advice when its called lino as lino is very specialist. Yes it can be repaired. I would contact the company who installed it. If they are any good they can repair it for...

If you answered the questions i asked you above i could help you ! I asked the above questions to make sure we are both talking / using the same terminology as you dont know much about subfloors judging by the question you asked. To start with the answer is NO you can not use the deep base...

They things i dont understand. What do you mean by - While the screed is still GREEN? What do you mean by dangerously thin? What do you mean by edge expansion strips? I presume you are talking about the actual subfloor is to thin? Not meeting minimum standards for strength ...

I find it strange that there are so many crap sparkys around the Birmingham area. We have been through loads of them. Yes we are a training centre but we dont train electrics. We are a dedicated flooring training centre. However we have found a sparky we are happy with so far. As above...

Most sites i worked on they would not let you plug in a yellow brick in the room you was working in. You would plug in near site office or use the sites large transformer to plug in. On the sites you could plug into the socket in the room you was working in then they would let you use 240v...
