    Good news!

    You can find it on the DCLG website, follow the links for investigation into Building Regs and Part P. You can watch the whole session of NIC, ECA, Napit and Certsure being grilled if you're so inclined. MARVEL at how they sound like advertisers from the 1980s; WATCH in awe as they evade...

    ELECSA Certification Scheme A message to all Elecsa registered electricians!! A must read!!

    Has no one noticed that the Register has had the classifications changed. It's worse! Now instead of being called a Domestic Installer - which sounds more like something you'd do with a cleaner, but at least it is somewhat vague - the wise souls at NIC and Elecsa have bowed to pressure and...

    First Electrical ???

    If I get a call like this I want the comany name and address. If they are ltd then they can be checked out. If they are delaying over the address cut the call. Ask which scheme provider they are with. Do they have a website. Its not hard to check out any respectable trader these days.

    Ground floor flat rewire - concrete ceiling and floor

    It will be difficult and telectrix fix can be quicker. But is you have to then here goes - pull out any old singles between access points leaving one behind. Use that one to pull through the new cable and then use the new cable to pull through a second. You can pull back the cable so there is...

    Whats your ride?

    If you're looking at the Combo type of van I've had an ex-BG '06 Berlingo for a year now and cannot fault it. Also came with £1200 of drawers and bluetooth for the phone.

    Main Bonding to another property.

    Is it the switch plate that is not earthed or the KO box? Can you describe the unused neutral some more? Supplementary bonding is not required if you sort the main bonding and install RCD protection. Presumably this is a converted house and the flats share a gas main. However there should be...

    3 wraps of tape ?????

    If you read the NICEIC "Effing Good Practice Guide" at a mere £55 +vat, you will see they specify the use of NICEIC embossed tape which has special properties and therefore the install does not have to comply with the regs!

    downlights

    Fire rated are generally the ones with a can on them. Only £8 at the cheap end so why not get them. There is no requirement to fit them although the legalities around letting are getting tighter and I am not an expert. Electrical work should not compromise the integrity of the fire safety of...

    People drive me mad!

    I've also used RP quite a lot and have no problem with them but you have to choosy over the lead. Saw one today for a new CU in a new position and installing 6 new downlighters; budget ..................... £250!! I bought the job and am sending my daughter to do it!

    downlights

    You can get snap connectors from any wholesaler easily enough to do a proper job but perhaps of more concern is that they are not fire rated. With fire rated downlighters at £8 each I can't see any reason not to fit them. BTW there is no such thing as a 5year cert. No cert is needed if you...

    Bathroom Extractor

    I've turned the shower on and the room steams up quite quickly. The fan has a setting from 50% to 90% relative humidity. It does work as I have had it running. However on a day to day basis... I just wondered if anyone else had encountered this problem with this make and whether simply...

    Bathroom Extractor

    Yeah it does sound ridiculous. The switch live works fine, but when the customer pays 100 quid for a fan with humidistat it's fair enough that it should work. It's the first time I've used this make si wondered if anyone else had encountered problems.

    Bathroom Extractor

    Recently fitted a Soler & Palau 150mm fan with humidistat in a lower ground floor bathroom (which has a window), for a customer. All working ok when I left. Got a call a few days later from them because the fan is not coming on. Adjusted it a couple of times for them then got it exchanged for...
