    How to use an extractor fan with a dimmer switch?

    I find most fans work just fine with a dimmer on the switched live input. I usually fit Envirovent

    Best JB to bury - driveway lights

    However good your joints are (and there’s some good suggestions above), it won’t matter unless those lights have incredibly good drainage around them. They are almost certain to let water in sooner or later imo in the real world. You want ip68, which usually means ELV. Look at Collingwood...

    Amendment 2 smoke alarms and SPD

    Last 2 BCO round here would not accept battery only smoke detection. They insisted it must be mains powered with battery backup.

    MK Grid Plus Frame & Captive Screws !

    I think they’ve changed the design slightly recently. You could just snip them off before. I had to replace a poor quality grid switch in a rental property recently. Turned up armed with MK grid and it took me as long to get the b&£@&5d washers off as to do the rest of the job! Will be trying...

    At least they used a decent quality accessory - Click Mode by the looks of it

    Tools Robbed! Liverpool

    I’ve got close mates in the police and I wouldn’t do what they do. My last post wasn’t a pop at 99% of coppers who are decent people and just as frustrated with the crappy system as we are. My point stands that the modern way of policing in the country is a total failure.

    Tools Robbed! Liverpool

    The police really are a joke in this country now. They were set up to prevent crime, now you’re lucky if they even respond to one after the event. They should be disbanded and a new force set up with the aim of actively preventing crime. Visible presence on the streets and no rainbow kneeler...

    Consumer unit in bathroom

    It's a terrible design, but is it actually in zone 1 if it's in a cupboard?

    Wet UFH Tripping RCD

    So they are still on separate circuits? How will you safely isolate one of the circuits, when it is electrically connected to another that is still energised. That is potentially very dangerous, and further will cause you problems when your consumer unit is eventually upgraded to...

    What do people charge for the first hour and for callouts

    £70+vat generally for first hour. Sometimes a bit lower if a good customer and on my route home. Sometimes more if not local to me or central Brighton etc

    Own up , who done it....

    No cpc continuity to metal box with plastic switch by the sounds of it. Only a C3 according to most though! I always like to fit nylon screws if the customer can’t or wont rewire I must admit.

    4mm cable, 32a breaker for 16.2kw Rangemaster installed by electrician

    The shower is a fixed load until a plumber changes it for a 10kW one! Most have cable runs through insulation as they are invariably run through lofts. This is not so for cookers. I’ve clamped many a cooker and even with a large range cooker it’s surprisingly difficult to get over about 30...

    4mm cable, 32a breaker for 16.2kw Rangemaster installed by electrician

    Can’t believe some here are advocating 10mm for domestic cookers. Absolutely no need unless it’s run through mountains of insulation making 6mm on a 32A OCPD non compliant. Never known any domestic cooker to require more than 32A and I’ve had this argument many many many times before. 10mm...
