Just a question, we are about to have a decent alarm installed in our house, and the topic of Part P cropped up!!! My wife works for the alarm company and states that the installation engineers do not require Part P. Is this correct? I would have thought that since they where in effect adding...

That's what I'm worried about. We want to put the house in a finished condition before selling up. So can't afford to be fleeced by dodgy tradesmen. Probably, why I've done most of the DIY jobs myself, but with me getting called away more and more regularly of late, the DIY is starting to build...

Hello All, seeking words of wisdom again. I've just got myself a job overseas (leave on Monday :shock: ) and the wife is going spare due to a lot of half finished jobs that are in progress inside and outside my house. Since i can't take the grief anymore, and wanting to sub-contract out...

Here's a link although i'm sure that the area above the bath "zone 0" goes all the way to the ceiling. Needs confirming by the elders on this forum http://www.thelightingsuperstore.co.uk/bathroominfo.asp

Well I am asking advice and was not too impressed by your sarcastic response - hence my reply.

Just via the fused spare outlets switch. Took it that it would be disconnected due to not reading the pcb through my meter.

The installation is definately MCB not RCD - RCD's on the shower. I don't/can't get hold of what your suggesting, but thanks anyway. I'll have to bring an Insulation tester home from work.... not been able to due to moving jobs last week and not started my new one yet - which is monday.

NO!!!! I'm not a tosser. :evil: I have a genuine problem and class myself as very competent. Just seeking the advise of the wise owls on here who on my previous questions have been extremely helpful. ta.

hey there, it's not my first time of posting .... just forgot my username!!!! Durrr. Anyway, to the problem.... Am having serious problems with my groundfloor sockets and the wifes getting tetchy cause the central heating goes off as well!!. The MCB trips for no reason whatsoever at...
