    Live wire taped off in the loft.

    And the neutral, if the circuit is RCD protected (which, in most domestic circumstances, it’s going to be nowadays).

    Live wire taped off in the loft.

    Well you’ve all cleaned up nicely....

    Joining existing cooker cable

    I’d go with 1) re-wire circuit as 1st choice. 2) use 60 amp JB (see above) and ensure it is in accessible location 3) there is no third thing.

    Did you? I’m/We’re curious to know the outcome/diagnosis/solution.

    internal house hallway, 2 way lighting, customer wants to retain 2 way light switches but add aPIR

    When I’ve done this before I’ve used two switches at the end of the two way where the switched live for the light has come from, with a 3 core cable going to the PIR. One switch operates as an over-ride to the PIR and effectively takes the place of the “normal” light switch. The additional...

    New member - made a complete mess of installing light fitting!

    Ooooh I do love an Ikea light fitting me.... My particular faves are called “Ottava”. They’re bastards. This one looks like a “Tross” (I’m not joking), and As a replacement for a ceiling rose they’re really not too bad. Plenty of room for the requisite insulated terminal blocks or Wago-type...

    Recommend a IP65 consumer unit please.

    That said, I have a job in the new year to do the same and have chosen, with clients preference taken into account, to go the GRP Enclosure & MC RCBO unit inside.

    Recommend a IP65 consumer unit please.

    Would have been my suggestion too.

    Are these wires neutral?

    And the first time I came across twin brown I asked a customer to pop to Poofix on a weekend to get 100m 1.5 T&E and they returned with 2x 50m reels “as it worked out a lot cheaper” - because it was twin brown! That made the feed on the lighting circuit interesting....

    Are these wires neutral?

    Though in this instance I'd go with replacing the switch drops with 3C&E as suggested above.

    Are these wires neutral?

    I was given a couple of rolls of sheathed & insulated single red & black and of sheathed & insulated single & earth a few years ago, virtually unused. They prove very handy from time to time - with the appropriate sleeving at the terminations, naturally...

    The world is doomed.

    Ooooh you’ve got me all misty-eyed.... Knickerbocker Glory, Brown Derby, Banana Split... Sod the burgers. The iced treats is what I went for.

    Electric Shock off a Light Switch

    There was no RCD protection at the time of the fault I have described, if that is what you’re asking. And it was (is) a single switch.

    Electric Shock off a Light Switch

    How is the switch wired? I was called to a house once where the client claimed to be receiving an “electric shock” from a light switch. Plastic plate on a steel knock out box, 2x cpc secured to box terminal, incoming live to L1, switched live to C, Neutral connection on L2. But old fashioned I...

    Angle drill for joists

    Being a long-standing Milwaukee devotee I’m hankering after a Hole-Hawg and/or a Super Hawg, but as I only seem to use the impact driver for driving 20 & 25mm through joists, I’ll wait until it dies and get one - if my ears make it that far. I do have the C18 angle drill, but it’s a bit of a...

    Whats the best tool you own?

    “Facom!!!” Say it fast.

    Chasing walls.....weapon of choice.

    I started with an Erbauer chasing machine from Poofix that, attached to a Henry, did a perfectly acceptable job. Moved up to a Milwaukee chaser (which will cut much deeper and wider if I need to) a couple of years ago. A mate of mine has a Bosch Cat M dust extractor that is the business. Copes...

    Torque screwdriver !!!!!

    I’ve said this before in another thread; I had the VDE Wera torque set and knackered the handle TWICE. On both occasions I was trying to achieve a torque of +\-2Nm in an Earth terminal bar in an insulated consumer unit. So I gave up with it. I now use it as a GP driver set for “stuff” when the...
