    found out electrician not registered midway through rewire

    TTW, ask him which scheme he is registered with, if any. If what he has told you is proving false then perhaps the best thing to do is to put your investigations and concerns to him and if he does not have satisfactory answers to your questions then show him the door. A key question is what...

    found out electrician not registered midway through rewire

    Sadly, how do any buyers of a specialist service, without some knowledge of the specialist service, 'know' if the person providing that service is 'alright'? 'Governing bodies' are there to assure those without knowledge that someone is 'alright' but many bodies require their members to...

    Van Layout! Racking show me yours

    I like it ... I did a similar thing on a temporary basis in a hired van in order to take a chimney pot and some cast iron rainwater goods to a pottery in Hampshire and an Iron Foundry in Yorkshire before picking up a load of cut stone from Darlington ... it worked very well and everything got to...

    How is this for abuse ... albeit a short term test with no knowledge of longer term impact! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-bZ4yrpTcjw

    Scheme providers cash cow vs must have.

    It sounds like 'closed shop' working practices to me ... a single, private and profit making company being the only organisation whose certification is accepted by a public body ... I understand why it happens but to my mind it is a monopoly!

    First fix in flat roof

    If it is in an area where there is a lot of warm moist air then the customer will suffer significant damp problems!

    Well done!

    Festool

    It is ... and the theft cover is for the 3 yrs of their warrantee! I would say the best deal around! There is a YouTube clip of an American guy really abusing a Festool cordless drill, including dunking it in water ... and it still went on going!

    Festool

    I invested in one last year ... it has yet to see really heavy use. That said, I am impressed with its capabilities so far. The level of torque available and the fact that it is able to apply that through a right angle drive ... included ... means that it is 2 tools in one. Add up the cost of...

    Using plastic CU next year

    s, I am sorry that I was not specific. I was referring to your statement about metals burning ... though on reflection I just need to go back to secondary school Chemistry to realise that metals do indeed burn!

    Using plastic CU next year

    Are you sure that it is combustion that you are referring to? It melts but does it burn?

    Using plastic CU next year

    It doesn't look to be non-combustible but self extinguishing!

    ... against regulation due the colour of its insulation ... BS 7671 is not retrospective so unless the conductor is not up to the job in terms of its function then it's replacement is not an issue of necessity!

    First fix in flat roof

    P, in which case, so long as you stick to the rules in the on site guide on hole diameters, vertical positioning and pitch I would think that you would be ok.

    It did read a little 'haughty' in tone ... I was serious ... I personally have a great deal of respect for those who have 'properly' 'won their spurs' through an apprenticeship if it was worthy of that name! Or indeed those who have faithfully given advice, sharing from their great reservoir's...

    A, thanks ... I thought that it was most likely to have been drawn from a recent edition of the BB. I fear that I have been a little lazy, not searching it out for myself. That said ... I was always taught at University to quote my sources!

    First fix in flat roof

    r, thanks ... I didn't make the connection! Perhaps Pale_rider, as OP, you would clarify the terminology ... my understanding was that rafters are sloping roof members though I am open to correction.

    First fix in flat roof

    I am not in a position to quote 'chapter and verse' on the subject of drilling rafters but I have a very strong 'feeling' ... 'in my water' ... that while joists may be drilled, rafters may not. Generally speaking I suspect, as a 'structural' engineer, the nature of the loading on the rafters...

    Hey S, your quote reads as authoritative, please would you quote its source in order to confirm its authority beyond being 'sensible practice' and good advice from an experienced electrician and a moderator or administrator on this site?
