    shower priority unit positioning

    Ok. I'm thinking a contactor has a control circuit, which would operate said contactor. Whereby you could isolate the control circuit. But does that safely isolate the circuit, like a standard isolator would do. What does BS7671 say about isolation?

The muck/dust in the floor/ceiling voids was something else, like grey soot. Place was completely gutted. Learnt to wait until...

    You work may be subject to CDM regulations. If I recall, there was an app/software that can help you with documentation, perhaps.

    shower priority unit positioning

    Have you actually found out how you will get this additional work 'signed off'. It sounds like this is part of some building work, that may be under planning or a building notice? Have you spoken to your LBC about this?

    Pricing query - too high or tight builder?

    Builder are the creme de la creme. Have you done much work for these? The short time I worked for a pair, they wouldn't let me quote the client direct. Thats because they wanted to add their own little mark up. Thats why your price is too high for them.

    UK Drilled into wire in kitchen

    Although I'll admit to using crimps on 6242y cable (if its that) on rare occasions, alternative jointing method would be preferable, e.g. wago box in ceiling void.

    Temporary wiring/electrics system not behind walls for a year-is this doable?

    Temporary installation needs careful planning and in the long term might end up costing more than a full rewire. OP caught between a rock and a hard place, if they haven’t the funds. Has the sale gone through yet @Timc101 ? If not the rewire shoutdoor be reflected in the sale price.

    Socket with slimest back connections?

    I think the usb charger thing was down to poor quality products, which includes the socket outlet, not just the usb charger, if I recall. I would use electrical accessories from a reputable manufacturer, then the usb charger shouldn’t be a problem. I’ve also used those spacers before in such...

    But a plug ‘top’ BS1362 fuse is not protecting fixed wiring is it, so perhaps not a good analogy.

    Requesting a check on electrical wiring in Kitchen

    To be far, when I did kitchen refurbs, the kitchen manufacturer never advised on positioning of electrical outlets in their kitchen unit plans. That would be down to the company commissioned to do the install, with guidance from a competent electrician.

    PVC cables buried direct

    I didn't like buying any cable directly in the ground/soil including swa. Always preferred to put it in some ducting.

    Pool LED malfunction

    Could the 'power cable' the manufacturer be referring to, is the local cable installed between controller and led tape? I've had issues with Phillips Hue tape, and 3rd party extension leads I've bought off eBay.
