The shower tray is made of acrylic. Not sure on the waste pipe but I will check on return. Due to the age of the property, I'd be surprised if it wasn't plastic. The tingle was felt in the hands. So, hot and cold copper pipes feeding the shower mixer tap from the shower pump. That's why I bonded...

It is a real head scratcher for me this one. I cross bonded the pipes as there was a small stray voltage on there. I wanted to do that as they said it was a very mild tingling. I have only phoned the NICEIC on two occasions, this being one of them. He actually said the pump could be the problem...

Hi John. Not sure on the waste. I'd imagine it is plastic due to the age of the property. No concrete as its on the 1st floor of a standard house. On my next visit I will see if I can ascertain that. Leaks are also another avenue for me to explore. I have advised for them to change the shower...

Sorry to jump on this thread and I appreciate this was years ago but I have a similar problem. Did the OP resolve the issue? I was called out to tingling on a shower riser rail and handset. It was fed by a shower pump. I cross bonded all 4 pipes going in and out and connected that to the...

Hi guys, Just a question in case any of you know the answer before I spend a lot of time hunting..... I am after a Black half lantern PIR outside wall light with the facility to switch on via another switched live. I have run a 3-core and earth to the fitting. Does anyone know of a place I...

The building was pretty much demolished and rebuilt, just a lot larger! To my knowledge it will be subject to the latest regs. So, obviously new sockets and switch heights, etc. Why do ask securespark?

I like to think I am competitive price wise. Especially as I am down here south coast. Bas......I get the impression you are not a fan of downlights?? . Trust me, I'd rather be putting a centre light in each room!

I couldn't agree more! That's what I have always done. I'm not about to change that now!

Not sure about being conned but I reckon the electrical firm have gone in low on purpose and make their money on the extras. I know the plumbing for the place is gonna hit around £50k. The builder is a good guy, I do plenty of work with him but I am more than happy to walk away from this one...

Hi there, I have just been asked to tender on a large house, effectively a new build. The builder has given me a copy of the quotation from another electrical firm as he wants to use me. It seems to me to be a bit on the low side! What do you guys reckon? Here it is: Ground Floor Sitting...

Thanks everyone for all the various input. The client has decided on the litewave product. He is fully aware of any potential issues but is happy to go ahead.

tp-link look good but doesn't do a GU10 lamp, Hive looks good but doesn't do a GU10 lamp and MiHome doesn't do the GU10 either. It's obviously a common theme. Can't see that Hive, TP-link or Mi-Home do a 3-gang light switch either. It looks like the lightwave product is my only option at the moment.

Thanks for the input. I don't think this particular system will be suitable. I currently have a bank of 3 light switches, only 1 of these needs to be controlled via an app. I am planning to use some sort of gu10 lamp like the phillips hue but need to also marry up a similat 13a socket to be...

Hi there, A customer has asked me to install some downlights and a couple of sockets. No problem there. He wants the downlights to be able to be controlled from a smart phone app. Also he wants a couple of sockets to be switched by the same smart phone app rather than 2 seperate ones. Does...

There must be something out there. No shortage of 6A pull switches. Not looking good so far......

Hi there, I am having trouble locating a fan isolator pull switch. It needs to be in the style of brushed chrome, nickel or stainless steel. Any ideas? Thanks in anticipation. Dave.

Hi guys, Back again! Would the Heatmiser PRT-B thermostat be a suitable replacement? Looks a much better size than the honeywell as suggested?

Thanks very much for your input guys! Much appreciated. Would any of you know if there is a smaller option on the market than the CM907? It's quite a bit larger than the existing.

Hi Dan, Thanks for the reply. I didn't notice any but that wasn't to say there wasn't. I may have to go back and check! Cheers again!

Hey there, Just been to look at a job where the client has a plumbed UFH system using these thermostats pictured below. My question is what make are they? She would like a simpler system. I opened the cover and there was no clue as to what make it is. There was also only 2 wires connected in...
