    Flat roofs, celotex and downlights...

    I've asked a couple of building inspectors about this. If you take the whole roof area and m2 and calc the u value, then minus off the total u value lost by cutting 100mm holes for downlights at (as a rough guide) 1 every 1000mm on x and y axis, the total uv lost is almost nothing. I normally...

    Prysmian Cable In a Box cr!p

    @D00DY_T00DY it happens way more than it should... maybe I need to stop buying prysmian. Or better yet get more understanding customers who aren't so bothered about so called "unprofessional attitude" or "fire damaged"

    Prysmian Cable In a Box cr!p

    To get the cable out of prysmian boxes: Get finger/snipe nose pliers into box and rotate the drum to find the end. Fail a few times. Sit and have cup of tea (essential step, don't skip!). Try again and rip the box a little. Give up and undo sellotape lid. Get end out. Pull 5m and wait for drum...

    SWA RP625 crimp tool

    I've been using the swa crimper for a while now. I know what you mean about it leaving a gap, but I've never pulled a crimp off it. Next time I use it I'll check for loose strands though, I admit I've never thought to check o_O

    A quick check on if replacement CU is required.

    Unfortunately he either doesn't understand the requirement of the regs (hopefully, as he can learn) or is trying to make money fixing a problem that doesn't exist (shamefully!)

    Wire sizes and volts. Pls help.

    Wire thickness in this case isn't to do with the voltage, it's the amperage it can safely carry. Most (good quality) fittings will have a info leaflet with them telling you all the voltage/amperage info about a product. If you read that it may help you more, and if you're still not sure hire an...

    Velux windows 1st fix

    You can also get the velux klf 100 interface for them. Then fit a retractive center off, if they loose the remote control they have a wall switch for them. The interface is rf too so it doesn't even need to be near the window, and it can control multiple windows at once. Works well in my...

    Old style tools, anyone still got any left?

    Ah pyro, the glory days. I think I came into this trade when pyro was being edged out by fp. I hate fp compared to pyro, still got my pyro tools but never get a chance to use them... shame.

    2391 - 2394/95 - 2391

    There seems to have been a lot of dumbing down the qualifications recently, and a lot more cowboys on the loose. Luckily there seems to be less general public trying to do their own work from what I've seen which can only be good. I do think there needs to some tightening up of the law...

    No resistance Circuits

    I didn't realise CERN has 0 resistance conductors. I know they cool it (gold? conductors) down to a few degrees off 0°K. If I had the time I'd look it up, interesting forum topic this has turned out to be!

    Drilled through cable in wall, can I fix? (Photo)

    I have a good idea how car brakes work, but I won't try to fix mine if something goes wrong. I get a professional, because it could save my life... just saying.

    Thieving numb sculls

    @Specialist worse than that, if you call out a banker or politician for being a crook, they'll sue YOU for defamation! Look at Ian Hislop, most sued man in Britain, all he does is says what he sees and doesn't pull punches. Maybe if these old boys networks didn't rinse so much money from the...

    Thieving numb sculls

    I had a laptop stolen just before Christmas. It was worth maybe £100, so £50 to them at most, but it had a few thousand pounds worth of EICR's for a laboratory on it which I had to redo. There's bankers and politicians thieving from us from the top out in the open about it, and there's scum...

    Charity work, please read whole post!

    Not lame at all, I've heard they are not a walk in the park! The smell will be... interesting! I'll grin and bare it. My dad suffered a lot worse for King, Queen and country during his service, so I'll be trying to use a bit of his grit to get through it! Thanks for the post @Rpa07 if you have...
