    Power and lighting to garden shed

    I would use SWA because it's going from the house to the shed. As you know yourself SWA offers mechanical protection so if it's getting buried or clipped from the house to the shed then I would of thought it's the best cable to use. For what OP said he's putting in the shed I was thinking 2.5mm...

    Power and lighting to garden shed

    Power and lighting to garden shed

    Hi I've just been reading through the OP and the cable sizes and the running a 2.5mm to the light switch doesn't seem right to me. Am I right in thinking that? I'm still learning and gaining experience in the trade and just wanting to know if you could put my mind to rest on this one please.

    Changes are coming, what do you all think

    That's the question my boss asked, what happens if it's a flat. Do you think the extra cost of having to add an earth rod will put people off having a board change or will more people be looking for a cowboy to do it cheaper

    Changes are coming, what do you all think

    Filling in the gaps...

    We use this mate, once you have filled in the chase with this, leave it start to dry abit and then use a metal flexible scrapper to take off any excess. Run the scrapper over a few times and you get a perfect finish without having to sand the walls. If it's to dry when you first start to scrap...

    Some people just don't appreciate the lengths you go to

    Anyone else been in this situation, if so how did you handle it? Get called out to someone who has a living room light that isn't working. Turn up on time, put boot covers on, dust sheet down, I'm polite, the light fitting is class 1 (and also faulty) getting power to it but not working. The...
