They could, but they won't. Current and recent past governments do not care about votes. They care about themselves and nothing more.

If those cables will be more than 50mm depth from the finished wall surface, no problem. Otherwise they will need to be moved.

Most of those running OFGEM previously worked in the very same industry. Like most of these 'regulators' they have zero interest in doing anything that doesn't maintain the existing systems.

The price of the gas as a fuel has very little to do with the price charged by gas powered generators. If demand is high and supply weak, they will charge astronomical prices to cover that demand, because they can. Every day 4pm - 8pm being the usual gouging period. Nuclear is expensive all...

Electricity is grossly overpriced most of the time, as gas is what provides the peak demand, and due to an outdated market system, all electricity is sold at the same price, so a tiny amount of expensive gas generation sets a high price for everything else regardless of where or how it is...

Graunch on it until it's tightened properly? Feeble. Worse.

Yes it would - but even then, an electric combi boiler is still a disaster that no one should be considering. Most people won't want one either as soon as they discover how poor the performance is compared to gas alternatives that they already have., Attempting to heat decent quantities of hot...

Probably junk. Even if not, delete the email and then just go to the adobe website and download the latest version.

It's an option which is better than the alternative of shoving it onto one of those old rewireable fuses.

That's exactly what it is - colours as used before 1966 which also explains the no earth. It's at least 60 years old.

It was a pipe from the bathroom heater, so when the kitchen tap was used the bathroom heater turned on automatically, and when the open flue was blocked with a birds nest it billowed toxic fumes into the upstairs of the house without anyone realising until it was too late.

are grossly overpriced and make no sense for anyone ever. makes no sense for anyone ever. There are, but there are far more situations where it doesn't. In any event, electric hot water should be a storage system, such as an immersion heater in a hot water cylinder. Any attempts to provide...

Batteries for emergency lights usually have a short lead and a plug on the end which needs to be connected to the matching socket on the circuit board.

They are better than Type AC, but only of use in situations that do not have smooth DC. For most domestic properties they are good enough today, and certainly far better than the AC types of the past. They will not be good enough in the future as more electronics, inverter drives and DC items...

Not necessarily. Depends on where the problem is. Doesn't even have to be on the same circuit, a link between N-E somewhere else could cause it to trip, but whether it does would depend on the loadings of the other circuits and how much current flows between the various interconnected parts...

It won't trip an RCD, but could prevent an RCD from tripping when a fault occurs.

More likely is that they will install a tiny extra consumer unit just for the EV, and leave all of the rest exactly as it is. Waiting for some future event where a new CU might be needed will not result in one being installed. Your 'new CU' should have been installed 25+ years ago. RCDs for...

Don't underestimate how lacking some 'electricians' are in understanding how things actually work and how to identify and fix problems. Plenty are little more than fitters who can connect wires to known items and anything beyond that is a mystery.

From those, the meter is switching the off peak supply, and that Niglon unit supplies the off peak circuits only. The fact they are 16A and some are 230/240 is of no relevance, the maximum load of Quantum heaters is 3300W, or about 14 amps. The problem will be someone has mixed up a neutral...

32mm P trap to attach to the basin: https://www.screwfix.com/p/mcalpine-adjustable-inlet-tubular-p-trap-white-32mm/89677 If that doesn't reach to the pipe in the wall, then you also need a short length of 32mm pipe and a straight connector...
