Personally I wouldn't buy anything functional off e bay but that's your call. Is there a guarantee? What happens if it goes wrong? A Hagar 6+6 wouldn't cost you much more thna that from your local wholesaler. My local one lists the unit at £109 +vat and I know there would be at least 25%...

Pixey These are MK Electric products. Any good elctrical wholesaler should be able to order them for you. Failing that contact MK for the address of a local dealer. www.mkelectric.co.uk

Dont be a **** all your life

Andy My comment wasn't aimed at you. I was naffed off at the guys implication that I had only taken a 5 minute training course. I may not be as experienced as a lot of guys on this forum but I have over 20 years of domestic wiring experience but have only just gone official this year with a...

What's that supposed to mean? Why have you signed in under a question mark?

I thought only Superman had X Ray vision?

And then paying LABC an extertionate fee for coming and saying er...... okay, Why not just get a qualified spark to do the job properly and certify it. :D :lol:

Hi Ban That would mean having the second CU next to the entry door. Not always practical. Good point. I wasn't thinking straight. Surely to qualify under part P and have installation certificate issued etc?

Basically Leigh what Andy is saying if I read it right is - Existing consumer unit (I suspect if the house is that old it will currently be a fuse box) to house a 20A breaker feeding a 20A (Double Pole) Switch by the entry door which in turn feeds a second consumer unit. The second consumer...

Damo I was in IT as well recently and if you were getting £12.50 an hour you were either being robbed, in the wrong company or 'in IT' meant replacing the fuses in the plugs. Believe me £50 if this job is done properly is not being ripped off by a qualified tradesman. My van has just cost...

Sticky at the top of the page? for reference section? Youve lost me pdc!

Check the rating on the oven. Quite often the oven doesn't need any more than a 13a supply so feeding a fused unit from a socket circuit for that will do. The hob however is a different matter and will need the appropriate cable and mcb for the power rating. This will need to be direct back...

Has the mouse qualified for part P?

Golfer1 It depends on whether you know an electrician that won't rip you off. Personally if it were local I wouldn't charge a call out for 'looking at' the sockets. If it was a loose wire a tenner in my sky rocket would do for re-attaching it. (But don't tell the tax man) If however it...

Surely the answer is in the fact that it asks for 'extraneous' and in Sparks words i.e. not part of the electrical installation rules out electric cooker and electric fire and you have to assume that the question refers to a transformer within the dwelling. Admittedly the fact of a possible...

Guys I'm sorry but no-one has really answered my question. I repeat - "I understand the lack of requirement in the regs for supplementary bonding in kitchens but question that there is no bonding at all on the water system. As the incoming goes from lead to plastic to copper within a...

The system to the rest of the property is copper. It's a very old property BAS and the incoming supply has never been converted from lead.

Sorry. Maybe I didn't clarify enough. Main incoming is the initial 1 metre lead bit. BS7671 if I am correct asks for bonding as near as possible to the point of entry and within 600mm of the service meter or point of entry. I also read "there is no requirement to main bond an incoming...

I have a kitchen to bond where the pipes on entry are lead for no moref than a metre. They then lead to a couple of metres of plastic piping before moving to copper up to the sink. What is the earthing requirement for this?

Thanks FWL that is roughly what I expected as a final answer but just to clarify are you saying that in your opinion without the C&G I can't legally work in anything other than 'domestic'? One final question then I'm goin to draw a line under this. With your definition of the rented...
