    Ethernet for CCTV

    Manufacture recommended loft position. In my particular case, it's a new build house already completed. So it's a matter of ease of installation with no cables showing. Also the noise of the hardrive/fan running is overcome.

    Rolec smart card meters

    I'm not 100% sure, but once install/commissioned, is there not a button on there? If so, hold it down for several seconds. Is the beeping, to indicate credit getting low/run out? It will beep first time credit runs low. Thereafter, by holding down a (red?)button, it will not beep. Rolec install...

    Temporary building supplies again

    I'm under the impression that temp supplies have to be TT earthing. DNO's usually insist on TT earthing for temp supplies. They will not provide PME for temp supplies. Even if Perm supply, aren't porta cabins classed as temp building as they are movable?

    Who does what? How to get the DNO to correct old works.

    RE meters: Look on the actual meter, in the past, there use to be a nameplate behind the glass. No doubt, there will be some sort of identification mark and serial numbers stamped somewhere on the meters. Like every industry, what was done years ago, may not comply today with today's standards...

    Who does what? How to get the DNO to correct old works.

    Who owns the meter upstairs? Many lager type houses get converted into separate flats by developers/ landlords. It's not the DNO's responsibility, especially (as usually the case) if not informed of any changes to the property or increase in load.

    Who does what? How to get the DNO to correct old works.

    I would just ask the DNO company to survey the property. You needn't worry at this stage about the supplier. More than likely the DNO will state that the existing service cable was suitable for use at time of installation way back when its was one dwelling. All depends on who did the alterations...

    Drill stud as you would do normally, chop wall out which is up against the the stud. Same as going behind a skirting board. Failing that, a metal plate covering the cables in a notch.

    Calculating Cable Size for Ring Circuit

    Possibly run more than 1 sub circuit. 3 phase or 1 phase Sub circuits to be suitably sized for known load plus spare capacity for unknown (with -in reason) load. I would keep all the final sub circuits to a sensible distance. Possibly use 16 amp sockets for caterers to plug into...

    Domestic wireless burglar alarm system recommendations

    Great feedback guys, thanks. Can these wireless systems be coupled with a TV? Or is it just computers, ipads, mobile phones? I'd like to view what cameras are showing / recorded.

    Thatch loft - rewire

    Whilst working for a DNO company, we had to remove the mains intake position to an OMB position. Customer's insurance company insisted on it. Also they insisted smoke alarms within the loft space.

    Domestic wireless burglar alarm system recommendations

    Thanks for that, appreciated. I'll look on their site. I'd be interested in CCTV also. I've installed hard wired systems (own home) before.
