Hi, Anyone own one of these and does it 100% support H.265+ compression? The shop I'm buying from said it doesn't, but I'm sure I read some where that it does. Thanks

I live in a built up area with a radio ham living very close to me. I am worried about interference. Will it be OK to use cat6 UTP solid copper or cat6 FTP solid copper cable? Thanks

I want to connect 7 wired cameras to 7 of the 8 ports of the Hikvision DS-7608NI-K2/8P NVR. Is it possible to connect an Ethernet cable from a wireless router to port 8 and use the wireless connection to connect to a wireless camera on port 8? Will this work? Thanks

I've got a Zanussi upright freezer not frost free . An engineer came out through the insurance and pulled the freezer out to get a serial number from the back with the freezer still running. He replaced the door seal later that week. I found out the next day that the red defrost warning light...

Years ago I used some flashing that was heated with a blowtorch to melt the tar onto the roof joint that was leaking. Is this still available, what is it called and where can I buy it?

The basin was on display as a cloakroom basin with no pedestal so didn't think it need one. Now it's time to fit it there are only 2 holes to secure it to the wall. See pics. How do I fix it securely to the wall without a pedestal? Thanks

In the manual it says. The cross - sectional area of supply cord used should be ranged from 1 -1.5mm2. The extraction fan is suitable for connection to 220-240V 50Hz supply. My question is, I have some 2 x 0.75mm that is rated at 6 Amps. Would this be OK to use? I am plugging it into a socket...

I have a studded wall in the bathroom at the end of the bath where the shower is going. It has been plaster boarded and skimmed over but I now find out that the old stud wall is not straight and is out of level. Do I wet the skim down with water and then use bonding plaster to straighten the...

An electrician came in a few months ago and installed a new CU. He has passed all the electrics and supplied the paperwork for this. I’ve had lots of tripping on the 100mA RCD side but no tripping on the 30mA RCD side. The system is TT. Once ever 3 days and on the odd action once a week, there’s...

I have a Philips low energy light bulb on my landing. From the very first day I put it in I have had a fault with it. If I put this bulb anywhere in the house it doesn't’t do it. If I put the same type and make of bulb from down stairs into the landing fitting that will do the same. When the...

I’m a bit confused about part p. The electrician came back the other day to fix the reverse polarity on the lighting circuit and before that he wired the new shower and pull switch in the bathroom, changed the old fuse board and put in a new Consumer Unit, sockets in the loft, and put power...

Does anyone own or know if the FLUKE 17B Digital Multimeter with AC Transducer Clamp is any good? Thanks

What I've decided to do is acro prop the bedroom ceiling/floor in loft up straight to take out the sag in the 4x2" joists and put some steel straps from each joist to the pearling to keep it there. Then I’m going to put some new plained red wood 4x3” 13 feet long from the main bearing wall to...

I want to put power into the brick built shed. It will be 6mm twin & earth from the CU to the outside/inside wall then into 4mm SWA cable and come down the wall into a waterproof outdoor socket on the wall and then out to the garage and the run is about 25m.. What side of the CU should the...

I want to use the loft for storage and possibly in the future as a loft room. The house was built in the late 1920’s. There are no boards at the moment and the joists in there are 4”x2” with 12 to 15 inch spacing between the joists and the main centre bearing wall is 12 feet from the wall plate...

Just had a new consumer unit installed to replace my ageing fused board and old type trip with a green button on it. The system is a TT, I think this is correct for over head mains that are feeding the house. The new CU has a 100mA RCD and a 30mA RCD with earth rod in the ground. I have never...

I have a new cooker that is rated 9.8KW – 10.7KW. The distance from the consumer unit to the cooker is about 13 meters and the cable is 6mm. I have just had this cable and cooker installed by a qualified electrician. I am a bit worried that the cable is not going to be future proof and only just...
