    Old Domestic Servants/Butlers call system

    I'm just in the process of starting a rewire in a 1930's house, and the new owner has asked if the old servant/butler call system could be put back into service. It's not functioning at present, but I've not looked into any detail as to why. Anyone familiar with how they are supposed to work?

    Blowing sockets and popping RCD

    Looks like that consumer unit (post #3) was changed last March - and what a state it looks. 63A up front RCD with Shower (32A MCB, hmmm), Panel Heater, Cooker and then all the rest of the house on it. Not that familiar with Wylex but that RCD looks a fair bit older than the rest of the board...

    Wooden Log Cabin Layout

    What's a mess about that work? I think it looks done to a good standard. Curious to know how you would have done it?

    Quote for electric radiators installation help.

    🧐 He's said he's labour only. I'd agree with Dusty and just give a day rate for that kind of work.

    VERY quiet ceiling mounted (min IP X4) bathroom fan recommendations?

    I've never once come across anything like this in a domestic bathroom. Is it something you'd install often?

    Crazy cable price rises

    I am actually surprised by that, I usually find CEF the cheapest when it comes to T&E, and has been the case for a few years now

    UK Armoured cable to garden shed

    Even an SWA running through a bathroom would need RCD protection (oh what an eyesore that would be!). Don't see why a junction box requires RCD protection for a possible loose connection, it's not there to cover off poor workmanship.

    Is it worth paying to advertise (Sponsored ads)

    Do you have a good website? Also Google My Business (I think it's going be integrating into google maps) is pretty useful to get you up the search listings without having to pay (much) for it. I know a few that just use Facebook for advertising and it works quite well for them (it's not for me...

    App for sending quotes from phone

    A couple of mates use an app called Joist and love it. Don't think it's free though. I use Quickfile, which also has an app feature part that I don't really use. It's free to a certain extent , but the features I use and number of transactions my business has I've a couple of annual fee's...

    UK Armoured cable to garden shed

    Why would converting from T&E to SWA require RCD protection? I take it as an almost given that this cable isn't going to be sunk into the wall at any point.

    Crappy new LAP terminals

    I find Crompton more than decent with G9's. I've fitted about a hundred in lighting in a few hairdressers (the type of light fittings that takes about 5 minutes to connect up and screw to the ceiling, then 2 hours to put all the silly hanging down bits on) and to best of my knowledge they are...

    Led lighting - where is my limit as a person without any certificate.

    Such a helpful post...do you now need to build a little bridge so you can get over yourself?

    Electric shower case: short circuits (?) and RCBO

    Those aren't burn marks on the front plastic cover, it's carbon from the motor brushes and normal for a power shower.

    A reminder to everyone - FatallyFlawed - Child Plug Socket Covers Campaign

    Pretty sure it was Tony, who was a member for a number of years but got deleted and username change to that. Sadly Tony has passed away, but that petty insult of a name remains.

    UK Job quotes vs DIY Part P Notification Requirements for bathrooms

    Have to say until that photo I have never seen or come across a dry lining box installed before the plasterboard. PS I like that you have labelled every cable. One thing on that I'd do would be to have the label inside the dry lining box so it's still there for future reference. PPS Why flex...
