    RCBO fly leads

    I used to always do it that way biff but after testing a lot of houses, it makes it a right B***ard to megger, you have to disturb the cpc of every circuit to remove the flylead. From now on I am putting all the cream coloured leads into a group and into one terminal of the earth bar as it makes...

    RCBO fly leads

    Don't sleeve them, They would be green/yellow if they were meant to be, as you rightly say, cream is the colour for a functional earth.

    RCBO fly leads

    Heres a debate for you, seeing as this place is as dead as a doornail today. I have been testing a street of domestic properties recently, wired in 2008 with all rcbo's. In some properties the electrician has put all the white fly-leads into one terminal in the earth bar, In the others they...

    end of line on lighting circuits

    No reason whatsoever, although if possible I always do it as well especially in domesatic, HOWEVER when it comes to commercial you may have to split it to ensure you don't go over Volt drop limits or EFLI limits, or just to avoid using £££'s worth of extra cable.

    Wiring of two cu

    I once read an article in professional electrician where they interviewed a sparks who wired a radial for EVERY appliance in the kitchen, he said he only ever used radials never rings, I'm sure profession electrician only put it in to wind up decent sparks! anyways to OP, a single consumer unit...

    Wiring of two cu

    I would look seriously at whether you need 2 boards, or whether you are just faffing about pulling in to many pointless circuits. I don't see why a 4 bed house would possibly need that many circuits?

    Main Earth

    On a TT system a 4mm earth is adequate, check your regs!. Does the rod have good readings still? I think the idea of a new 5/8th rod , in a nice placcy pit is a good one though

    loft Conversion

I woulde go with...

    chasing into concrete screed floors - a risk to the neighbour's lights?

    Sorry grumpy, it is a bank holiday Saturday and all! lol If you have got a 10mm skim of plaster, you could cut wide chases, borrow a nail gun and fix cables up in capping, even better metal capping, then get a friendly plaster (could also be a not so friendly plaster the choice is yours!) to...

    Your dead right, all the flats I have been in have had conduit systems, embedded in pre-cast concrete slabs, not MICC, completely forgot that the OP was even on about MICC lol
