    Estimating the Age of Electrics. Rewiring Fun.

    Thanks. Yes it was built in 1970. I'm led to believe this means it was probably PVC and on further research the standards labelled on the CU are early 1990's.

    Estimating the Age of Electrics. Rewiring Fun.

    Indeed. They are in their mid-70's and covid makes negotiating visitors challenging. Am I nuts? It's a 4 bed, detached with ~10 rooms in total (2 story extension in late '90s) so guessing I'm in for a £5-7k rewire job worst case?

    Wiring greenhouse

    Thank you, that's v. helpful as i hadn't considered the Part P regs so will ask a professional to do the entire fix as you and James have recommended. Out of interest is NYY-J cable likely to be suitable for fixed installation to these 13A outlets and lighting? And if so would you go with 2.5mm...

    Wiring greenhouse

    Hi, I'd be grateful for some pro. advice on the best cable choice and termination throughout a domestic greenhouse. The building is relatively large at about 100sqft and will naturally be a permanently hot, wet, 100% humidity and UV-intense environment. The building will have an IP56-rated...
