    Drilling joists vertically

    I don’t know if you would be able to help me. I want to drill 2 x 25mm and a 20mm hole through these joists to get into the loft. Is drilling vertically through joists allowed? It’s a bungalow so there’s only the loft above but the only info I can find is about drilling horizontally rather...

    bathroom extractor fan internal grille - fire rated?

    Good Evening, I'm going to fit a 4 inch inline extractor fan in the loft above the bathroom. I'm guessing the internal grille has to be fire rated just like a down lighter has to be? i only ask because the website i bought it off doesn't sell any fire rated internal grilles even though it...

    Replacing steeple RCD

    Hi, thanks for the replies. It’s only £20 and there’s a denmans in town so we can pick it off the counter. She hasn’t given a part number but I’m guessing it’s compatible if they say it is. Lucky we caught it really as it could have been nasty.

    CJR Electrical - really poor workmanship video

    David savery, artisan and Nbundy are probably my favourite channels. I think it gives them good publicity as I like the look of their work and would hire them if they were in my area. As their subscribers increase they do become some sort of electrical celebrities which must also be...

    Connect Sockets To Shed Supply

    thanks for the replies everyone. i can terminate swa fine. i'll use the wiska earth nuts to bond the armour. wiring a second swa along the same route as the 6mm just for the sockets sounds like it would be ugly as it's going to be all surface mounted. the internal shed sockets are 2.5mm...
