    Insulation properties of heat shrink, and tape

    Yeah I suppose its down to sourcing quality and reading specs ect, although insulation tape is called insulation tape.

It seems a bit thin in comparison to to...

    Lidl 2ft long sds drillbit set

    Just seen some sds drillbit sets in Lidl's, only £10 for a set of 4 super long sds masonary bits (up to 20mm I think), also theyre doing x10 auger bits in a metal case, and a chisel set in a case for £10. Looks like a bargain for the price !!

    Agency and Umbrella companies, is it worth it.

    Theres usually 3 options from an agency: 1. Use umbrella scheme. Dont ask, can get complex. 2. CIS (you must be registered). A better idea if you already SE 3. PAYE for the agency. You pay NI and probably a better idea if your not SE.

If so then it might be the same o who assessed me; told me that my SWA to an outbuilding needed to be RCD'd ?? and marked it as a non-conformity. I complained and had it over-ruled.

    Meter tails over 3 meters

    Im thinking that as the (regs) are not retrospective, then if this install was completed before the 3m rule then it does not really need to be upgraded, but dont know when this reg (from IEE or DNO) was introduced. Im probably over thinking this but like to be sure, to be sure.

    Meter tails over 3 meters

    Thanks SP, i read that the DNO base the 3m rule on an assessment of risk (ie its less likely to be drilled through if the length is shorter) and not on any mathematical equations. Im sure there is something in the regs relating to this. I looked at an older install earlier, the tails are about...
