    UK New supply to granny annex

    Gas from cylinders is PHENOMENALLY expensive. I would want to be very certain of the numbers / costs over the medium to long term before committing to this.

    Looking for "additional" functionality in PIR operated LED bulbs

    BC. I think head torches might meet with some pushback from the domestic management. (The grandchildren would probably be onboard with it though!)

    Looking for "additional" functionality in PIR operated LED bulbs

    Driven by the recent colossal hikes in the cost of electricity I hit upon the wizard wheeze of replacing some of the existing LED bulbs in our own house with PIR triggered ones - especially in regularly but lightly trafficked areas such as the hall where we tend to turn on the lights and leave...

    Electric boiler service

    Agreed, but the problem with testing over-pressure relief valves is that they very frequently never seal properly again... resulting in a permanent pressure leak hence forward... until they finally get replaced years later.

    EICR unsatisfactory due to 'no RCD protection to lighting circuits'

    I am a landlord and an electrical engineer and the exact same thing happened to me recently as well. We no longer live near any of our rental properties so I get my EICRs done via the, local to the property, letting agents that we use. (To my amazement, this particular letting agent has such a...

    testing for earth

    You might want to suggest that he commissions an EICR. He will have to do have done this by 1/4/2021 at the absolute very latest anyway...

    Planning for Car charger and upgrade to garage circuit

    Do you have a 60A or a 100A main supply cutout (fuse)? If the former you may want to check with an electrician and your DNO that you can be upgraded. Especially if you rely on electrical water or room heating anywhere else in the building as adding a high power car charger to the mix can push...

    testing for earth

    What Westy is saying is that the particular type of detector that you have is inherently unreliable due to the nature of the design / technique that they use and, arguably, they are at their most dangerously misleading in your current situation - i.e. a possible intermittent earth fault. By its...

    Being self employed and the coronavirus

    Directors are typically (but not always) employees of the company as well, although if they pay a low salary topped up by dividends then this is still likely to be something of an issue.

    Being self employed and the coronavirus

    Unfortunately, the system already has rules built into it to cover for the situation of the self-employed "deciding" to become "voluntarily" unemployed.

    Being self employed and the coronavirus

    Not being able to cook is going to dramatically increase the difficulties and the cost (and I don't mean takeaways!) of feeding the family. 1585048629 Following the advice we continued to behave normally, and now we can't get food that we need due to all of the selfish panic buying. (Good job...

    Being self employed and the coronavirus

    What is the likely ratio of Millionaires and Billionaires to ordinary Joes? And what will this translate to in terms of the percentage of the total funds distributed? I reckon it will be quite small and therefore does not justify the administrative overhead of trying to confirm the financial...

    Can I get a mortgage break during Coronavirus outbreak?

    I think it is probably more accurate to say that most rather than some can. The free lunch is only temporary though. Interest will be rolled up and you will be expected to pay it back later.

    I rent my home, so I can't get a mortgage break - what can I do?

    If BtL mortgages are not relaxed then BtL landlords will not be in a position to relax their stance regarding when the rent is due. Many "landlords" have just one or maybe two rentals, they have either become landlords accidentally through circumstances, or felt forced to invest in property as...
