    bonding thoughts with a sure stop remote tap fitted

    The sure stop will be plastic so in theory would insulate the house from any incoming portental. With putting it after the sure stop then the bond will be on the house side and should any potential come into the property through the water then the bonding will bring the potential down to the...

    Ideas welcome rcbo replacement

    As I said in my post I don’t think it’s the right answer to turn a blind eye. I don’t think it’s very professional to not install additional RCD safety protection. I was making reference to the posts who stated that changing a socket front is classed as maintain so you could in a round about...

    Ideas welcome rcbo replacement

    It’s most if not all of the sockets in the house being changed if I was doing one or maybe two I would list as a deviation on the certification It amazes me that the amount of mcb boards I have come across without any RCD protection on. I thought that RCD protection at least on socket circuits...

    Ideas welcome rcbo replacement

I’d then have to fit an isolator before the Henley blocks to give one means of isolation for the whole...

    Should the original installer pay to fix this?

    Don’t know the full story but it doesn’t look that shoddy to me not the neatest but no way dangerous. Yes agreeed that a loose neutral caused the fault but it must be over the 3 years old as you state it’s out of the 3 year warranty so I don’t think it’s right to go slating the company via...

    Anyone receiving any email scams directed at electricians?

    I know it’s bad though, I did have to think about replying as I don’t like to mess customers around and if I don’t want to carry out the work I politely decline the work rather than not respond. I’m guessing it’s just spam as the title is grammatically wrong and there is no contact details or...

    Fibreglass extension ladder

    I have a set of the Clow orange fibreglass ladders on my van. Very heavy as I went for the 3.2 meter long ones but they are brilliant as you can split them and use them in 2 locations to save having to keep moving them. Mine are the type without the rope Glassfibre Ladders - Ladders-Direct -...

    Peoples thoughts Rcd protection

    Right all valid points raised. I am in the camp of putting RCD protection on anyway regardless as it improves the safety of the circuit. If I was knocking out boxes and installing new double boxes or adding and extending the circuit in my eyes I have altered and installed new so my work has to...
