    Does a 20amp emergency stop button exist?

    Yeah, but is an unusual request so quite rightly raised interest in what it was required for.

    Ebay sniping software

    Yep, a risk the seller was willing to take in an attempt to get more than what the item was really worth. I could buy the item (with discount) @£60 brand new. The item was second hand, granted in great condition, but not worth the full retail value that was expected. My offer of £50 was more...

    Ebay sniping software

    I was interested in an item once that was up for auction on eBay with a buy it now price of £60, make an offer, or starting bid @ £30 I watched it for a few days and on the last day no one had bid on it so I figured its probably worth around £50 (not the £60 that they wanted). So I offered £45...

    Does a 20amp emergency stop button exist?

    This is why the op was asked what the stop button was for and advised that its not as simple as just wiring in a "stop button". would have been just easier to search on google for the 20amp switch, than ask on this forum, if there is no intent on taking advice or explaining what the job is.

    Boiler off lighting circuit?

    The only issue with this is that I'd be careful what you admit to, some would take it far too serious and then brand you a cowboy.

    Would you run Cat 6 armoured alongside SWA in garden?

    I've seen it done this way many times on garages and outbuildings and never known an issue with signal noise. I don't know enough about it though to say either way. Would it make a difference if the swa was a 3 phase supply not just single phase?

    Grand a week for Subbies ?

    Yeah, the area I'm from is one of the poorest paying in the UK. Most people have hardly enough to live let alone pay for repairs, additions improvements etc... So trades folk who work in the private sector locally tend to be of the cheapest rates. To earn decent rates you either have to travel...

    Can I tighten neutral circuit breaker wires without turning off power?

    You would have to do this if you had a power cut anyway, so what's the issue?

    Grand a week for Subbies ?

    Depends on the area, around my way it was £120 a day a decade ago now its anywhere between £150 - £200.

    What is causing burning and vibration and how to stop it?

    Reading your posts and taking a peek at your previous posts on this forum, I suspect that the the root cause for concern is not an electrical one. All your questions have been answered, and electrical concerns explained. Unfortunately we are unable to help you out, and I suggest you are...

    Incorrect supply cable & boiler problem

    Ok, well I'd be tempted to ask him to clarify in more detail because this doesn't make any sense and we will be unable to help with any useful suggestions unless we have clearer details. The only way I can see that the supply has caused the issue is if sensitive electronics has be damaged due to...

    Incorrect supply cable & boiler problem

    This doesn't really make much sense (my bold) are you sure you have not misheard or mis-understood what the electrician has said?

    Scaffolding - what do you think

    Sounds like you have already, made your mind up. Bottom line is, if you are working off it then you should determine whether or not you feel it is safe to use. Scaffolders like all trades people have a general standard that is expected to be met, but often you find some don't.

    UK Fused Spur To Workshop

    Ok, well it really depends on what you want from this. If you want to do the job properly and in a sustainable way, then you really need to look at alternatives. My advice would be to consult an electrician to do a site survey.

    UK Fused Spur To Workshop

    It would be better to put the workshop supply on its own dedicated circuit from your house CCU or incoming supply. There would not be much point in running a 10mm swa to a 13A spur. If it is a workshop and not just a garden shed with say just a light and socket for occasional use then the spur...

    Do you need to be CPS member to do EICR ?

    Got it right there!

    Cable buried in a flower bed

    I think any additional mechanical protection you add will help, ideally something that won't easily dislodge if struck by a spade.

    Garden Hot Tub safety !

    It's not a stupid question! The fact that you are considering safety shows that you are conscientious and concerned about people's wellbeing. Some would just go-ahead and install the tub without any thought whatsoever. I'm just drinking my morning coffee whilst going through my emails so still...

    NICEIC Certification Scheme NICEIC renewal assessment debacle!

    What a t***er, obviously gets off on applying his "authority" and at the same time finding any excuse to rob you of your hard earned cash! I don't know what you can do other than keep on to customer services. Its a pain I know but I doubt you will get anywhere unless you persist. Basically try...

    Ring main extension or spur

    If you cannot afford a qualified spark to do the works my advice would be to see if you can ask one who is willing to let you do all the install (Following their requirements and supervision) and then he/she can complete or check the final connections and do an inspection and test accordingly...
