I'm planning a re roof and need advice on the installation of a bonding gutter. The roof tiles are double roman and all the same type accross the terrace. The problem is that when the house was built in 1939 and I presume all the roofers in town had gone to fight ze Germans as the gauge...

Hi Im currently weighing up my next bit of d-i-y and would appreciate some advice. Ive been getting some damp on my gable end wall at first floor level and I believe my roof is the problem. I have a valley at the rear of my house One side of it is a normal apex the other side is what I...

Im with you securespark Totallypies is a wind up merchant. RF Lighting, the lighting ring SHOULD be on a radial and should contain an earth. At least the part p qual that gerren has provided him with the knowledge to question how to proceed as things are not as they should be. Well done...

My point is that a switch only switches a load between two pottentials, it is therfore neither switching the live or the neutral just the connection between them. No matter where in the circuit your switch is it will give a reading of v1 - v2 when it is in the open circuit position.

Does a switch not just switch in or out a connection (load) between the rails and the only difference being on which side of the load the switch is Breezer The same argument would apply for the same situation on the live side. connecting a meter across the same rail will always give 0v...

thanks for the pointer :wink:

convention should I say, a few pints at dinner.

There are a number of the seemingly more knowlegable electrical installation technicians who frequent this forum that have reservations about part P. I would appreciate it if you could post your reasons for this as I am currently studying to gain a 2381 and 2391 quals.

Just what isnt working exactly? Maybe you could spell it out to me how requiring a qualification is in any way worse than not requiring one? Are you part P approved? I think this is where your problem lies, you either are not considered competent by the approved installers scheme or you dont...

Big spark, From your comments on Part P you should see it as a small blessing as previousley any cowboy could legally carry out electrical work in residential premisses. The fact that Partp can inspect and test is surely a good thing. What is an apprenticeship worth if your taught by a...
