alrite John!! long time mate, hope ur keeping well.. yup, indeed, 5m with no protection whatsoever. True to my word, I shall check the safety of this setup by calling SElectric tmrw, as much as it pi**es me off to do so!!

Just established, Benville and Marsh are responsible for this. They added the SP isolator or had the DNO add it when called by customer a few years ago to relocate a CU. I was dubious about the meter tail lengths at first, but having heard who is responsible for this, I rest my case...(although...

aaaaaaah.... I'd better call SElectric tmrw (not that I look forward to it) to verify this setup is ok then. Birdsh*t galore Steve! Forgot to mention it! Beats me mate :lol:

hello chaps, hope all is well wherever you are tonight! was bored so thought i'd wack on a pic was called out today to install a few downlighters, this is the incoming supply to the house, lady asked me if it looked in order, my response was 'yes'. I think it lives up to todays required...

oooh ive seen one of these in a friends conservatory, very powerful. struggles to keeep the whole room at the desired temperature during winter, but believe me you, for a poorly built/leaking conservatory with dimensions 6m x 8m, it performs very well. I think it will cope well in your room. Be...

A very common sight in India where electricians work practically without basic safety gear while trying to rectify a problem. Notice the bare feet and rope tied around his waist!!!!

dude!! the plug and the issues with it aside.. thats a frikkkin quality pic you have taken there!! what mega pixel camera are you using? do u always carry ur digi camera around with u or do u have one of those nokia N95's!!!

yes the part you are pointing out is the inlet valve and yes it needs replacing, it will disconnect with a normal spanner... but you cant just set out to replace the bottom part of the cold water inlet valve....you need to get the part as a whole, so like i previously stated, depending on what...

hmm...weird, i didnt refresh ma screen so couldn't see all posts.. wudn't have wasted ma time otherwise!!! Sorrry geeeeeza!

right... Firstly try and tighten the nut, see if the leak stops..if not then listen on.. you need to listen to welshman, close off the supply from the service valve in the picture. Check the fibre washer and the state it is in. If none is present, then u need to head to a plumbers merchant...

Yup, sure can be John but this guy was employed direct through southern electric. Nevertheless, why can't they just provide the right information right from the start!! Dammm, its like calling one of those BT call centres in Delhi sometimes!!!

see, this is one thing i don't understand about southern electric, they always seem to send me around the bend!! the rep on the phone told me any suitably qualified spark can remove and replace the seal, and doesn't have to be carried out by one of their own engineers. She also stated that the...

Just an update for those that are concerned... Southern Region (Berkshire) EDF - DO NOT send out engineers for installs of Isolation Switches. They will charge £55 for an engineer to pop over in the morning, remove the seal and disconnect the supply, and then return the same evening to...

Persoanlly, I hate S Electric!! Every time I speak to them my blood pressure rises!!! Better start preparing for the phone call tmrw then.. Wish I knew a couple of 're-seal' geezers in my area!!

Reading/Slough? Is this method of operation legal???

ello felllow spaarkans!!! has anyone currently living or working in Berkshire recently requested either of the following Electricity Suppliers, Southern Electric or EDF to install a DP Isolator Switch between meter and CU?? If so, what was the outcome? (charges, time taken to book an engineer...

DOH!!! Sorry mate, had knocked down a cuppla beers prior to my response yesterday!! lol Slight confusion....the setup I was talking about was with use of a twin impeller pump which needed gravity fed cold to supply one end of the pump, not the blimmin mixer!! I apologise... you should keep...

cant be certain that it'll work mate, but its worth a shot. i just know it has done for a guy who called me out for a job a little while ago (customer had same issue as yourself)...i refused to work for him as his setup was so poor and the council were due to visit and change everything...

you sound strangely like a guy who lives down the street from me same problem but he had a twin impeller pump he was lucky as the council were due to change his electrics and plumbing throughout... solution in his case - relocate pump to a postion closer to the hot water tank - change the...

u always do bud :wink: and thats why this site and all its members with the exception of some, love ya ta bits!!! :lol:
