    Meter tail grommets

    Advice on best method to run a cable for power in Garden

    Your profile states NVQ3 qualified but your posts indicate that you have the electrical knowhow of a spam butty. Something's not right here. But what I can say is the advice given about getting in someone who knows what they are doing should be followed and that no forum member should be...

    Drilled through kitchen light cable repaired with crimps now none of my lights work up or downstairs

    Many alarm bells are ringing at that description of faults/remedies. Please ensure you get a few opinions/quotes before you engage someone to rewire your house as it does not sound right at all. In fact it sounds like you have either completely misunderstood what was said to you or you are being...

    Does anyone still use connector block..?

    I was thinking of most HF fluorescent fittings I've ever used, both linear and 2D type. Possibly not wago branded but certainly of that type.

    Does anyone still use connector block..?

    Yes. Push the button down, insert conductor, release button to secure conductor. Other side is push fit for the internal wiring of the fitting.

    Exposed wire on shower isolator switch

    You shouldn't be pushing the basic insulation though the enclosure. Yes that needs repairing. If there is enough length you could crop the conductor at the damaged point and re terminate. That would address the issue of the exposed copper at the terminals too.

    Plug socket

    Possibly. Your electrician should be able to perform tests to prove viability and safety if you want to convert it.

    Does anyone still use connector block..?

    That type of connector has been in light fittings I have used for at least the last 15 years, unless I'm missing something.

    Does anyone still use connector block..?

    I can't recall the last time I bought any. Certainly not in the last 7 or so years.

    C&G 4141-01 tradeskills4U 5 days course

    I don't think you'll find it with another trainer. IIRC this course was developed for this training provider by city and guilds.

    C&G 4141-01 tradeskills4U 5 days course

    Well it says on their website it is aimed at people with little to no experience. I think the course is aimed at getting potential candidates for more expensive courses to pay for their own grooming. Not sure if it would cater for your needs.
