    Advice on safety of new Consumer Unit Install

    Dual RCD board for 4 circuits? Why oh why? Pictures of the junction boxes could be interesting...is this a bungalow or where the void above is usually accessible?

    Customer wants round back boxes and round sockets, round everything!

    Rewire I am doing at the moment has a variety of these switches going in (no sockets, though, they will be mostly out of sight and something we are more used to). 1. Chopping out a wall doesn't take very long really. But the entry points to these boxes is quite far back. Slight quirk on...

    Erbauer Drills any good

    Looks more like a combi drill set to a some level of torque. Couldn't watch anymore though, it's painful viewing🙄

    UK The truth about CEF and why is it so expensive.

    Duncrue by any chance? I find it like that on the extremely rare occasion I'm there, and YESSS in Duncrue even worse.

    UK The truth about CEF and why is it so expensive.

    The trouble with buying the goods online (assuming it's genuine) is the returns process. My wholesalers aren't too local (nearest is roughly 20 miles away but they all deliver, for free, up to 5 days a week). Wrong item sent out is sorted same day if the need is there, and if an item fails...

    Envirovent cyclone 7 cost per year?

    On trickle settings they don't consumer much at all. Bathrooom trickle is 1W...so energy used on your current tarriff would be 0.001*24hours*365days*£0.3091 = £2.71 a year

    Any advice on rewires?

    I really must get my finger out and purchase one to try it...my MFE40 is over 3 years old now and all that's been used in it are the Metabo's standard blades. Trouble is in that time we've gone through over 30 pairs of blades, I just have this bad lingering doubt that the triple blade wouldn't...

    Wall mounted light switch in bathroom

    +1 for the procerts app (Electrical Tools & Reference), very user friendly,I can't recall the cost of it but around £15-£20, and as well as all the reference material there are a load handy tools for calculations...and up to this point at least it's a one off purchase unlike the OSG which is...

    Light switch in toilet

    +1 for PIR. Not sure I'd want to be using a light switch in a room with toilet and no sink, nor a pullcord, nor a quientic switch. Yuk🤮

    As per post #5904, Starret make something specifically for this, it's called an Oops Arbour. CK also do one. It replaces the pilot bit and means you enlarge a hole by using the original size holesaw as the pilot. Best use I've found for it is changing from the old spring downlights which are...

    Old Domestic Servants/Butlers call system

    Well got a better look at this today. The existing cabling is goosed. There is also no longer an external bell, that seems to have left some time ago along with the power supply. Everything inside the box pretty much looks like @snowhead post #2. I'm assuming that gravity is what makes the...

    Old Domestic Servants/Butlers call system

    Doesn't work but I've not looked into why - I'd assume it's still all wired up as much of the property hasn't changed since it was built in the 30's. The push buttons are still in place, as is the box pictured.

    Old Domestic Servants/Butlers call system

    Push buttons in the rooms definitely. Not sure on the bell or battery - will have to have a look when I'm back there next week.
