    Covid Shielding and Rewire.

    Just an afterthought. if the lady is shielding there is a possibility that she may be in care of social services or the like. They may then believe that they have a duty of care which might extend to this but that should have been made clear.

    Covid Shielding and Rewire.

    The only reason that might apply is if the house is a flat or shares the electrics in a common area with other houses

    Covid Shielding and Rewire.

    In my opinion and I’m not an expert , They would need to issue the relevant report stating that it failed the inspection and quote the fault with the appropriate fault code. If the code was the highest fail ( too in save to allow continuing without fixing) then .... the experts on this site...

    Wireless Smoke & Heat Detectors

    In addition the site mentions a guidance document and I quote from it: “Mains-operated alarms (with battery backup) are permitted, and tamper proof long-life lithium battery alarms (i.e. not PP3 type or user-replaceable) are also permitted. Alarms should be regularly maintained and tested in...

    Wireless Smoke & Heat Detectors

    It’s on the government U.K. site. If you type Gov Scotland fire alarms in google you should find it. Interested in your opinion hard wired vs wireless and battery vs mains powered. I think the price quoted mentions diy prices and states you need electrician off hard wired!

    I have an EI smoke alarm and it’s worked for 35 years. It’s testing doesn’t need a smoke canister to check although my alarm company checks it yearly. It is connected into my monitored system. It comes in battery and mains powered and wired and wireless.

    Wireless Smoke & Heat Detectors

    The system in Scotland states the fire alarms need to be interlink but does not define if you can’t use wireless to achieve it. Carbon Monoxide alarms don’t need to be interlinked into the system.

    Scotland gov rules are that alarms can be 10 year sealed battery powered or mains powered while building regs seem to insist on mains powered. Are the regs changing to allow 10 year sealed battery powered alarms to be acceptable in England?

    worcester green star 18 ri boilers and y plan

    Overnight had thoughts on what the problem might be. No knowledge but lets do a flier...... Lets assume that the system was working before the solar system was installed?

    I am moving to the Ktech Wago wiring centre. They supply the following diagram and a form for noting the usage of the various connectors. As I am ripping out all the existing wires, then labelling them is a time saver.

    I realise that most people will be able to do it in a few minutes but more time needed when the equipment is upstairs / down stairs. I searched for the Boiler SL cable for a time before realising it was a forth core in the mains cable . (silly me) Part of IET is documentation....... it just...
