i thought that was just a disclaimer for the company! didnt realise they were actually poorly connected.

rewireables generally perish as well, so the older they are the less strength/ heat resisitance they have generally. but the above post basically answers your question

problem is, mate of mines landlord has the electrics tested every five years. But in reality his mate comes round and does it. so itll never fail. ill see if i can get a photo of the cooker cable for you next time im there. Im sure i could find 20 faults on visual checks alone

usually with the last problem as described above, it tends to be when you swtich on that particular light/socket the rcd blows, so usually its pretty easy to fault find on that front. done it a few times and scratched me head as to the problem

the cable between the socket and the spur should be the same as what is in the socket. more than likely 2.5 t+e, as it hasnt been fused down yet. ideally it needs replacing, is that going to be a problem?

just painting. i have done one session of washing, but am going over it again and again as ill have missed a few bits

i once knew a plasterer who could have learnt a thing off you, used to wince watching him 'work' and flameport is giving the best advice here

id be interested to know this fact if anyone knows how many is the minimum? cause of a massive argument at my old work- didnt realise there was a minimum.

its just for protection against plasterers isnt it?

not at all, although the kitchen was rewired and moved around before they moved in(mid 90s), so i think they may have been the odd short cut being taken when they redid the kitchen. it was less than 50mm from surface and 'protected' by steel capping.

yeah i did, i taped each crimp, then heat shrinked the whole thing, is that ok?

the spare room in my house has been papered, so i decided to take the paper off, which was fine except a) there was about 9 coats of wallpaper and b) the wall has cracks galore (probably why papered), now i have all the paper off i am in a position where half of the wall is down to the...
