    What’s the point of offering a discount if it takes so much time to add it. Forum1ST doesn’t work. Put it in the advert so people can use it instead if wasting our time. You’ve lost a sale as I am bored and frustrated trying to work it out I’ll go to my usual wholesaler who offer me a bigger...

    1st flats with concrete ceilings

    I didn’t know quinetic did dimmer switches I will look into that. Last time I checked them out they were just normal switches. Thanks for the update. With regards to the dropping cable issues I thought the introduction of metal fixings was to prevent exiting homeowners and subsequently firemen...

    1st flats with concrete ceilings

    Some people like to work properly. There’s clear guidance on drilling holes and notching in timbers as I am sure you are well aware. You seem to only be interested in inflammatory rhetoric which isn’t what these forums are about although it seems like this particular forum seems to attract its...

    1st flats with concrete ceilings

    Not seen these before. Thanks for the idea Indeed. These apartments were finished 5years ago so no clerk of works. I could get in touch with the builders easier enough for further info and I take on board Mike’s comments although his delivery could be refined... His point highlights an issue...

    1st flats with concrete ceilings

    I agree they are. My problem/issue is the multiple number and size of the multiple holes. It’s a big hole needed to fit an sds drill/hand/hammer into the void to drill the reinforced concrete. Bearing in mind it’s a 6m run that’s a lot of holes in their new ceiling. ?

    1st flats with concrete ceilings

    Thanks for the prompt reply. That was one thought. Customer wants original 3 gang switch removed and plastered over also dimmers in new position. So a cable run will be required. Historically people would have just pulled the cables through but with the premature collapse issue I just wondered...

    Sorry to invade this post. Just a variance on the above... same situation apart from the plasterboard ceiling is up plastered and painted in a relatively new apartment. Customer wants light switch moved to opposite side of room as it’s currently in a silly place. 6m across room assuming it...

    Inverter E031 error message

    Thanks for that. Sorry I was thinking of some sort of storage component but there isn’t one. Sorry it’s getting late your explanation makes sense. Many thanks for the reassurance.

    Inverter E031 error message

    Thanks Murdoch when I wrote terminal I meant it in the sense of fatal dead caput. (Can’t remember the rest of that Fawlty towers quote) Inverter definitely will need replacing. Now it’s been switched off I’m just checking it’s safe to be left like that as she’s away on holiday for two weeks and...

    Inverter E031 error message

    If it’s a bit like a battery which is effectively creating electrons continuously does that not mean that at some point something will go pop?!

    Inverter E031 error message

    So PV not my area. My sisters inverter Aurora Power One has come up with a terminal E031 error and has been repeatedly clicking trying to reset so she has switched it off following the instructions. She asked me what happens to all the energy the solar panels create and it through me. I think...

    Security Alarm Install

    I've never installed a security alarm so for future informations sake why do the ends need ferrullering?! Does it prevent false alarms or something?

    Ideas please to extend a restricted socket

    Awsome ideas peeps! Thanks so much for the help. It has been most enlightening. I think the customer will probably choose tlangdon12’s idea with the replacement trim. Should be a doddle Love the idea of the dab of glue, I’ve not thought of that before. Thank you all.

    Ideas please to extend a restricted socket

    Clients have just purchased the house and moved in so I would suspect have no idea who I did the crapenter work! One of those ‘quick’ jobs that suddenly turns into a lot more for the poor electrician Multi tool - coincidentally found it again just last night! Well since nobody has come up...

    Ideas please to extend a restricted socket

    Absolutely agree with most of the above but in an attempt to keep the customer. What are your thoughts on extending cables in the existing backbox , buzzing a hole through left side of a blanking plate fit closed grommet as its hidden beyond the bookcase then run cables down the side of...

    Ideas please to extend a restricted socket

    I suggested that to client but they don't like a massive cut in their new cabinet hence the rather precious attempts I was describing. They would also prefer the socket mounted in the cabinet so they can hide the wires to the tv and dvd etc.

    Ideas please to extend a restricted socket

    Thank you for replying littlespark, Sorry couldn't work out how to do the picture thing on my phone :anguished:. Right here we go. Brilliant planning isn't it? So a couple of thoughts... as you can make out there is a bit of a gap so possibly a right-angled screwdriver or if need be buzz a...
