ban all sheds: If you mean about the rewire I am in complete agreement otherwise please explain. MG

RF Lighting (&John D): A pleasure to speak to you directly. It is work of the quality you have posted tonight (picture of CU) that I have aspired to achieve, (although I would have been told to trim the busbars) I didn't use RCBO's which certainly would have been one of the more...

The electrical contractor who did the testing told me that I could "work forward" to the inception of the 17th edn. I suppose he knew my timescale and could see that I would arrive just in time so to speak and also perhaps, the house was uninhabited. This was very handy with bathroom bonding of...

Just a post to thank all contributors (past and present) to this forum. I have just completed a full rewire (to 17th edn) of a cottage I own. Along with some building work this has all been done under the auspices of the local building control and I have received all the requisite certification...

Wow! Sorry to bump this contentious post back to the top but can I ask (as a total novice) exactly what you mean by two coat? Is this one coat on top of a set coat or on top of a setting coat or what? Ta!

OK then, sort this out for me will you? I'm totally remodelling an existing loft room (new stud walls, velux roof lights etc) and bathroom (new everything, back to bare stone all round) Electrical implications are; need to move meter, install new shower and effectively a total rewire to weed...

Securespark (Sent my son to get on with the photos.) The truth is Securespark ... you don't! More to the point, the lecky company don't either. No company employee has actually read my meter in the 18 years I've been here. They turn up, take one look and rely on me reading it...

Securespark If you only knew what that involved!! I will go away and attempt that but the CU + 100A fuse etc is 12 feet up in the air above a landing. After that I will have to get the snaps posted somehow. However, as you're showing such gratifying interest I'll risk life and limb. :lol...

Spark123. I perhaps overdid the country yokel response of my neighbours. I concluded that it had been TNS in the past as they felt that (without having a name for it) something was not being provided by the electricity board which had formerly been provided. This I took to be the...

Many thanks to all.

God I'm so slow at this typing! Perhaps in light of your latter comments Im being a bit harsh. Still it's clearly time to get things checked properly. Plastic water pipes and we can only dream of gas! and cable tv and +1Mb broadband and...

Thanks for your prompt reply Jim2287. Yes there is the green/yellow earth wire coming out of an accessible terminal block which is an integral part of the 100A fuse box. Also, talking to a neighbour I get the impression that (before my time here) Norweb (ahh ... happy days) wrote to the...

Hi! Brand new poster. Just found your site and what a fascinating one it is - Well Done! I've spent most of today browsing around and have learnt a lot. Many things to ponder over but here's one thing to start with; Should my domestic TN-C-S system (you've taught me not only what that...
