    CCU Brand

    I always got taught a consumers control unit was a panel board/section board/busbar chamber assembly etc with it being a MCCU if it was the only or main one. A distribution board or consumer unit was generally associated with final circuits.

    Most obvious fault here

    After you've parked up outside on the "tarmac" make sure to take notes with your "biro" about what you find inside. Hopefully it's not a handful of discarded "fibreglass" insulation or "bubble wrap". Take care not to break those flimsy Hager lids or you might have to fix it with "super glue"...

    Screwdriver addict...

    I'm looking for a new ratchet driver. Think I'll go for Wera though as I've been impressed with my recent Wera purchases.

    Dado trunking

    Nah trunking systems tend to be specific in my experience. You'll need exactly what fits. Centaur is CEF stuff right ? Might get some help there. Honestly though it might be easier and cheaper to buy new. If it's a simple small office job just go for 100x50 with divider if needed.

    Flex or T&E

    You'd just use flex of a size suited to the circuit no ?

    Spark needed in Huddersfield

    I'd like to know too. I've only done a short course you see and I'd like to be educated in such matters by knowledgeable customers who've had a tap about on the internet.

    Cooker cable size

    It's definitely a wind up. Maybe your mate Chris ?

    Flex or T&E

    Depends what suits the situation. The downlights I use are made for twin and earth with solid core push fit connectors. I've only really seen flex used on 30 year old jobs with a plethora of brown junction boxes in the ceiling.

    Brown/Brown twin and earth.

    I didn't miss the irony on that one Tel. I can't think of many things more snowflakey than moaning about the colour of a cable ;)

    Brown/Brown twin and earth.

    I always use the brown that's next to the cpc as the switched line.

    Max demand for double oven and hob

    Yes I always try and divide the installation as much as possible. I have been known to add 6 new circuits on a kitchen fit. It may be fine diversity wise. You can get a double outlet plate if doing this. The manufacturer's instructions for each appliance may say to connect to a dedicated 32A...

    Max demand for double oven and hob

    First and foremost I'd refer to connection instructions for both appliances. I'd personally want a circuit for each of those appliances.

    Double 1mm T+E clips

    Double clips ?

    Mistakes you have made

    1.5mm 3 core was used on one job I saw. By mistake. It got corrected though. Well at least the two legs from the board did. Still like that as far as I know. The house renovation was for the son of the owner of a local electrical wholesaler ?

    CJR Electrical - really poor workmanship video

    I'm a Stroma member and the brand is still operating. It is now owned by Napit and trades as Stroma installer certification. I'm in the process of switching to Napit though.

    Mistakes you have made

    Definitely put my feet through a ceiling before. Was renovating a manor house when I was still the trainee. Kneeling carefully on centuries old joists clipping cables along them with nothing but new plasterboard on the underside. My electrician called me for break and in my excitement I totally...

    Happy birthday to you. Hope you've had a day.

    EICR Redundant cables in DB, MCB taped over!

    Chill man, I was just trying to establish what the actual issue is. If you've disconnected it there is no issue as you will have left it safely connected to the earth bar. If it's still connected then you can't possibly code it first without establishing if it is contravening a regulation that...

    EICR Redundant cables in DB, MCB taped over!

    Lol, so not an issue anymore ? I'm confused, you previously said they were connected.
