That does not help does it? It is what it is.

This is the contradiction of different building regs. In your situation I would put some upturned 300mm high plant pots with holes in the bottom (now top) over the lighting appliances and transformers and then cover the area with insulation leaving the tops of the pots free. Of course, now you...

fair point prentice. Is there any compliant earthing. Is it TNS or TNCS or TT? What is the cable installation method, what is going on in the garage? Who is certifying the work? Is there a water supply in the garage? and as a moot point, I was asking if any body was asking. I was...

I went self employed 6 years ago. I rewired a house which i was developing for myself. I had applied to elecsa whilst doing it and then they visited about 10 weeks after i had finished. I had tested and inspected the installation but left the garage supply install until they visited and whilst...

I would say that the infrastructure and design of our big cities will not allow mass use of electric car charging. imagine the demand required upon our existing service cables. for me it will not take off without substantial improvements. Consider the massive opportunities of the developing...

Interesting John. maybe due to decline in manufacturing.. Maybe due to more efficient lighting. maybe due to the more common use of combi boilers? (that must be a massive factor)I know many have loads of flushed spots, but as we change to led, then consumption will reduce further. As we go...

when did or have we or when will we reach general peak use of electricity in our homes? lighting is obvious, with the use of Led lighting we are consuming less. insulation, insulation etc is reducing consumption for heating along with newer property construction. will the scarcity and...

you are wrong. If a cable is run in a safe zone for a light switch for example. Another circuit cable can be run along side that route as long as it is continues in the same plane, either horizontally or vertically, for any lenght as long as it continues along that plane for all of its route

That is nonsence, the cable does not need to be associated with the accessory. give me a reg and i will paypal you a tenner

if you really musr run a concealed cable the other side of the bathroom wall. you could bury it deeper than 50mm which may involve building reg issues or you could run it less than 50mm and put a blanking plate on the wall to signify the cable run in that vertical plane. depends on the esthetics...

The electrician will just pull the fuse, like 90 percent of electricians do.

I would say that you have a moral obligation to report it. Find out who the installer was, if they have a scheme membership then write a letter to their provider (anonymous if you want) and ask them to include the installation in their next annual visit.
