    Burried SWA for a log cabin

    I usually ignore the Niceic warnings about the imminent collapse of a fence and clip it along the fence (also it must be the case that Welsh rodents don't eat cable sheathing as much as the English rodents,that is if this particular fear is indeed as frequent a occurrence as some would have me...

    EICR prices - 3 bed semi or per certificate?

    Ah right I understand now:) I did read of and know of that case,it was a tragedy and this particular case showed that no action would likely ever be taken to make schemes and rogue companies become responsible in the eicr market Thanks very much for the info

    Earth size for TT

    I would be happy to use 2.5 mm protected :) I suspect any reduction of earth resistance by using larger size cable to ground (other than for reasons of mechanical protection) is minimal,driving in longer electrodes would probably help,but why go to all the trouble when the cable generally only...

    EICR prices - 3 bed semi or per certificate?

    When you say "another person" who is the first person by the way ? If there was a first person I would suggest a second will have no effect on the PIR industry at all Not enough people get killed by electricity therefore any action to regulate is a cost that can not be justified by the...

    EICR prices - 3 bed semi or per certificate?

    Napit s suggestion for eicrs seems a standard that can be applied in most instances They recommend 40 mins per circuit and 40 mins per distribution board So a typical domestic with one cons unit and 6 circuits would be around five hours with the paperwork added,multiply this by your hourly rate

    Hottub problem over heated plug

    If the connection is available for inspection(as it is if it is in a socket box)then either connector blocks or crimping or soldering is acceptable Your plan seems well considered

    Yet Another Dodgy EICR

    My estimation of 90% of eicrs falling well below what should be regarded as acceptable,it may not be far off the mark Rouge companies who have destroyed the market with insane pricing whilst employing people with too little experience for the task

    EICR coding help

    If the child has the motivation to enquire whats under the cover,then manages to find the right tool to remove that cons unit cover,then further investigates by removing the bus bar cover,he is probably on course for a apprenticeship

    Consumer unit upgrade

    The price for a distribution board can vary enormously You have to take into account what you are prepared to pay because it has a great influence on the type of board to fit If price is no problem,then a full RCBO board is a must,if cash is tighter then the regs permit systems that comply but...

    help with wiring of timer

    I read post 6 :) and yes that was a very uninformed post and also insulting to so many american tradesmen but having one insult should not mean being rude to others making fair comments

    Consumer unit upgrade

    Existing 7 circuits + Garage +smokes+ extension + any possible existing doubled up circuits Seems to be a reasonable suggestion by your own spark Best go with the advice given by your electrician on the job,he is in a far better position to make recommendation than anyone from afar

One heavy thump on the top right hand...
