Upstairs ring main. Downstairs ring main. Kitchen ring maim. Plus separate feed for boiler. Upstairs lighting Downstairs lighting. That makes it x6 RCBOs. I will also be fitting wired smokes uo and downstairs and probably a a combined heat/smoke in kitchen. All interlinked. Are you...

Hi all. Getting stuff ready for kitchen fit in a rental and seem some terrible stainless recently. They seem very thin/flexible and cheap imo. Is there anywhere who supplies a half decent solid sink for around £80? I have a Franke in my property and it seems rock solid compared to ones in...

Looks like ring up. Ring down and kitchen ring then. Lighting downstairs with feed to switch's as it has downlights. Upstairs I might do 3plate/feed to pendant. Thanks

Hi All Industrial Spark by trade and done my 18th years ago. Chasing walls etc and doing first fix. Looking at loads of posts/threads it seems ring mains are no longer a thing with reduced wattage items etc. Radials seem normal with a 20a RCBO. Upstairs/Downstairs/boiler/kitchen. Then...

100%. Exactly, it's devolved and English law does not apply.

Lamp type make no difference it's the fitting that is fire rated. EICR is required every 5 years as it's a rental on Wales. Plus interlinked smokes, one up, one down. CO can still be battery but I'll fit wired plus combined heat/CO in kitchen.

Looks like you have to replace the whole fitting. Not just the bulb/lamp.... Cheers

The days of 35/50w halogens are over. I must have box's of them here. Plus some 'fluorescent' types before the switch to LED. Looking at the new integrated LEDs they look a nightmare with the switchable wattage and colour. Cheers

How is filling existing holes a massive job? Cut some 76mm board match existing, batten, but scrim over it. Wide filling blade/knife and tub ready mixed Gyproc lite or similar.

EPC is rated C. It's all down the accessor if you know a decent one who isn't silly.... I've known LLs take the course themselves it's that basic mate.

It would be easier to just replace them with type that have you can fit GU10's. Labour/my time/hassle. I can make existing neat no problem but they love spots with working tenants. https://www.cosmoelectrical.com/product-page/jcc-fireguard-ng-mains-twist-and-lock-fire-rated-downlight Have...

Not with rentals in Wales. We have 'Rent Smart Wales' that is slowly getting rid of private landlords mate. EPC C is minimum going forward. You just need a good accessor or do the course yourself it's that simple.

At this rate I'm going to fill holes and switch to pendants. It's just not worth the price/time/hassle and maintenance.

Have to be honest they look awful mate! Cheers

I seen they have a 7 year warranty with ** attached.

Hi all. I have approx 80-90 downlights to fit and maintain on my properties and was first considering ditching them/patching holes and fitting pendants but really don't want to tbh. I've seen the collingwood I and not impressed with quality tbh. Been looking at the JCC V50 (10 packs)...

All sorted. I misunderstood it. 100mm DPC is on inside. 600mm tray goes on next block course down to outside brick. Radon barrier in as well.

Never seen anyone put DPC on internal blocks? There is a dpm. So I'm laying 2 layers of DPC on the third external brick? One wise ur hormonal DPC and the other will go form the cavity tray (it just looks like 600mm wide DPC). Cheers

Hi All I'm building a non habitable outhouse amd confused as to where I out the tye DPC and cavity tray. I have laid the raft. I am 3 courses up with Eng bricks on outside and 1 block inside making both level. By the time the outside patio is laid it will be 2 bricks (150mm) above it. I...

Just a a mate who is a domestic spark and he just runs 2 core (his feeds) from switch to switch. So he just has a perm L+N at each switch and feeds to whatever is required eg downlights/wall lights etc. So even his 3 plate roses just have a Switched and perm N. No need for JBs anywhere...
