    To torque or not to torque that is z question

    C for me too. Torque settings were mentioned when I went in for the 18th. NIC representative reckoned if you over-tightened the breaker you could alter it's trip characteristics.

    Gluing alarm cables to UPVC Window frames & Door architraves

    Superglue or Mitre Fast would be fine.

    Live Loop in the switch, how to extend?

    If using a plastic box you can join them together with a Wago too, no need to tape.

    Bizarre fault today immersion timer

    Another vote for Timegaurd. Although it's full function may be wasted in this scenario you won't go wrong with a Horstmann Electronic 7 either.

    Live Loop in the switch, how to extend?

    Insulated and sheathed...the pedant in me couldn't help it! You can join it all the same. As has been pointed out, maintenance free is a must. You can use whatever kind of box you want in the new position!

    Permanent/Unswitched live colour

    Depends on the existing install. If new, brown for permanent live for me, only as I was taught that way. As ipf says though, as long as everything is actually sleeved!

    Please advise me on safety of loose plug

    All I can see is a loose socket not a loose plug ;)

    Partially sleeved earth wire

    It's not open to interpretation, it should be fully sleeved as Sparkychick has quoted from the regulations.

    Quantum Heaters Dimplex Wiring supplies

    What rooms does the ringmain serve? Presumably not all of the heaters are QM150s and as such not all boost elements will be 1.5kW?

    EICR - 2 boards, 1 with an off peak split and one with regular supply

    In this scenario, 1 install, 1 certificate, 2 boards. There are plenty of RCD mainswitches in Scotland, where an inline RCD has been fitted to the tails before the board as an easy way of complying with the regs back in the day (although less than ideal now). Another example would be a TT...

    Cat 5 confusion as to which way

    Different layouts from different manufactures just like anything else. The colours and numbering stays the same though.

    Cat 5 confusion as to which way

    There's different methods of wiring these up depending on what you plan on plugging into each end. For a normal patch lead you would want them to both be the same at each end. Option B (orange in 1 and so on) is usually the preferred way. New modules are marked A & B, the one in your picture...

    Cat 5 confusion as to which way

    It may help to see this, this is the layout for making ends off on patch leads, in other words the order the pins are on the plug which plugs into the RJ45 socket you are wiring.

    Lightwave switches/sockets

    Fitted 1st generation recently (as per spec). Not the worst, agree on the 35mm boxes. The switches work on a master-slave system for 2-way so your intermediate setup would consist of a master & 2 slaves. Bit of working out to do beforehand to make sure you've got everything the right way round...

    Electrician Jobs Run power to kitchen Island - pyro cable through ufh screed - East London

    *Some people have done it." Not in your house though. There are many different types of mat, different depths of screed, different methods of install, different installers. There are too many variables! I personally have cut a channel in a screed with UFH, I was able to speak to the builders...

    How to use E7 across rest of house?

    I second what Adam has said. Economy rates without storage heaters generally becomes uneconomical. A standard rate and utilising the timers in the heaters would definitely be the best way to go.
