BTW, I am a licenced Landlord and Agent with several properties in Wales. I am familiar with the Welsh legislation as all licenced agents require quite comprehensive training on the law and other aspects of one's obligations toward the tenant. In Wales, all smoke detectors in rented properties...

I discovered further problems when I went to visit her this weekend (BTW the property is in Uxbridge). This cable was sticking out of the floor under the breakfast bar - no protection at all. The sheathing is damaged - gouged on one side and sliced in two places on the other side, not surprising...

Yes she has a copy of the EICR. The landlord as agreed to get the electrician to return and check the items I have listed. Thank you both for your prompt replies, I understand it can be difficult to provide a considered opinion under such circumstances, but it was greatly appreciated anyway.

Hi all, My daughter just moved into a rental property in Uxbridge that had an EICR done in June. There are a couple of things that I am concerned over. 1. There is a bathroom pull-switch that is cracked such that the connections are exposed. This is mentioned in the report with a C3...

sounds logical, exorcism it is then :-)

Hi, My kitchen mono-block ceramic disc tap starts to drip and emit a high pitched wine when an upstairs tap is opened. It doesn't drip at any other time! Can anyone suggest what may be going on? Thanks in advance. Richard.

Splendid! I am in the process of digesting various installation books but only have a copy of the 16th edition of the Wiring Regs. However, some scenarios don't appear to be covered at all :roll:

Cheers. However, due to low ceilings, my kitchen already has 9 GU10 style CFL fittings (x100W = 900W) and so far on the same circuit is the utility room, WC and study (total 1200W). I need to add 1 light fitting for the TV room, and 4 light fittings for the lounge and 1 porch light...

Hi all, I'm designing the runs for my ground floor lighting circuit. Some lamps are GU10 fittings with 11W CFL in them. They can only have a maximum of 50W GU10 bulbs. Do you still have to assume 100W per light fitting? Regards

Thanks, we hacked off about 2 inches of that nasty cement inside and out in order to plaster/point/render with lime. :shock: The screed is 60mm, the UFH won't be on until September. I installed it in 2 stages, stage 1 (Kitchen/Utility/WC/Study) was working through the winter, stage 2...

This is the room that needs a new ring main. It's going to be flush pointed then limwashed. You can just about see an example of the finish as the end-wall has already been pointed. My wife does not want to see conduit or wiring going up/down the wall. So we have a problem as to where...

With the bit supplied to me by TLC, I can't quite remember the exact procedure, but I do remember using a junction box and a special gland which I mounted inside the porch.

...unless the unit is made with Pilkington K glass, which always faces inside the house...

If you are saying that the re-wire should have speen split into smaller self-contained jobs , then you are prbly right, with hindsight this would have been the way to go. Not the most helpful comment in the world though :roll:

This situation must be quite common. When, like us, our rennovation has so far taken 3 yrs and counting. The job is started but won't be complete for years. People fall out with builders/electricians all the time, sometimes it can get quite nasty. How do you convince another electrician to...

We're going to run 9" skirting in our lounge and TV room. Because of the rubble stone wall issue (see other thread) I am considering mounting the sockets at skirting level in either metal pattresses or dry-lining boxes and running the cable up to them from the floor. I have just taken the...
