    What is wrong with bonding plastic water pipes and plastic gas pipes ?

    You'd be wasting your customers time and money. You also have to be careful as, if you're recommending this work when it is unnecessary, you may be acting fraudulently.

    Council bod strikes again

    If there is no compliance issue and the instruction was simply to comply then any variance on this should be helpfully accommodated, obviously at additional cost.

    Consumer unit extension wiring

    Rough is being exceedingly generous. Never ceases to amaze me what people will walk away from. That could have been so much better with a little forethought, experience and care. Oddly, probably no more cost. Edi to Add... Why has the CU been moved 2ft to the right anyway? It appears to me...

    Change to solar FIT payment contracts

    The problem is none of it is scalable. None of the "green" alternatives can be rolled out to everyone even if the cost became less prohibitive. Solar PV only works because its a relatively small contribution to the overall demand. If everyone went solar we'd still need the conventional...

    Change to solar FIT payment contracts

    About bloody time, for to long the poor have been funding the environmental peccadillos of the moderately wealth.

    Any thoughts on this old thing?

    If all the rings tested out before the board swap then it's just a case of a quick continuity test to put the rings back together. No sharpies or flags required. They're tests you have to do anyway.

    Long time no post, but thought youd like this one

    Unfortunately, as hilarious as that would be, no. The Genny folks had some wizards box that switched the mains off when the Genny kicked in. The were however paying their supplier for the electricity they paid to generate, retards.

    Long time no post, but thought youd like this one

    That exact point was forcefully made, and in almost exactly the same words, by one of the DNO guys. These people are horrendous. They expect everything done yesterday and if you can't they'll take it personally and move you to the bottom of their contractor list. Then theres their utter...

    Long time no post, but thought youd like this one

    Generators not my thing, one of many, and things were tense enough without me sticking my head in asking "OOH, what that big red box for?" So honest answer is, I haven't the foggiest.

    Long time no post, but thought youd like this one

    This is quite lengthy so get comfy... I had a bizarre call out relating to a job I attended about five years ago. The situation was they were getting regular short term low voltages across all phases, only a few seconds, but enough to make lights flicker. In the intervening years they had done...

    All neutrals connected at one point - two rcds.

    C1 for sheer stupidity. Xx

    Repairing damaged cable in wall

    I've fixed this in the past by using a miltitool to take out the plaster (75mm x 75mm) around the damage, cut the cable, fit a 16mm galv back box to house the damage repair and then fit a blank plate. This may not sit well with some from a aesthetic point of view but when weighed against the...

    Main bonding questions

    The earthed metal would surely be bonded if extraneous, no?

    Consumer unit in bathroom

    It is without doubt wuckfittery of the highest order and Its not as rare as it should be.

    Consumer unit in bathroom

    You're making some really good points. None of us on here, I hope, would install this CU in this location but we may be put in the situation of advising someone on "is it safe/compliant". The vast majority of my work is commercial and the answer is always pony up and put it right. One example...

    Balancing Rings, do you?

    That used to be a pain but with greater attention given to accumulative earth leakage and reducing the number of appliances on a circuit I only use radials in dado now, and more of them.

    Balancing Rings, do you?

    Was watching a YouTube video, a US guy singing the praises of the UK plugs and sockets. One of the few drawbacks was about our use of rings and how they have to be carefully balanced. Now, I may have missed this one but, how does one do that? Yes you can design a circuit with even legs and...

    26Watt PL CFL to LED

    Are the PL CFLs direct replacement or do they require the ballast bypassing like other fluorescent. Those round flat panels can be picked up for half that CEF, apply you own vasaline, prices, and from a wholesaler so you have some peace of mind. Are they all pessently lit and working?as. With...

    Climate Change is not alone, changers on the way

    In short it is because it is a classic case of making the science fit a theory, the antithesis of true science. Interesting you mention 11700 years, here's a plot of climatic activity around that time. Oh and that tiny uptick at the end is what has Greta pi55ing her panties over. Not so...
