    Why do i need a rewire when i've passed inspection with no issues?

    17k sounds a bit steep to me, less it’s a Trump palace and spec, in the middle of London.

    Led Downlights for celotex insulation

    The BI’s I’ve experienced, pre COViD, want to inspect various stages of build, which will include prior to plasterboard first fix.

    Led Downlights for celotex insulation

    Generally, such insulation gets used on refurbishments or extensions. Wo betide you, if the BI notices!

    Led Downlights for celotex insulation

    Don’t reply to gora111, it’s a bot🙂. Besides which most led‘s do not generate enough heat generally to be the cause of fire, but enough to cause failure of said led. Bots don’t know that.

    Fire & Acoustic Socket Box Inserts vs Putty?

    Not seen both, but the square sheets I used, were quite easy to cut to size and mould into place. But if you can get pre sized stuff, one less thing.

    I’ve got Phillips Hue. Expensive but very easy to control and set scenes etc.

    replacement cu not acceptable for NIC / Napit certification

    If you think about, an alteration or addition in general terms isn't notifiable. So you wouldn't need the services of the NIC. Perhaps that's their thinking, you'll have to show more, and perhaps a CU change just doesn't demonstrate any design thought as such.

    replacement cu not acceptable for NIC / Napit certification

    Perhaps try one of the other schemes, I was with the now defunct Elecsa. I think NIC is too interested in larger companies, rather than sole traders.

    Worth getting sockets with safety shutters?

    MK have been manufacturing something similar for a considerable time, and I thought the single point shutter system is flawed?

    Metal Bed Frame - Exposed Conductive Part or Not

    The cables between control box and actuators/motors are quite short, and unlikely to get damaged. The supply cable/flex on the other hand is simply a cable 'tied' to the scissor part of the frame, the control box situated close behind the bed frame, and in the middle. Its where the cable leaves...

    Metal Bed Frame - Exposed Conductive Part or Not

    To give a little more detail. Its something I look after, but not given a lot of thought to, until recently. Not sure, but I think the motors are ELV. The supply cable to the control box is the issue. We've started to find it being damaged regularly now, by user misuse. Its just a standard twin...

    Metal Bed Frame - Exposed Conductive Part or Not

    So to try & keep confidentiality, a broad question without specifics; A manufactured bed, mechanically operated by electrically powered motors. The metal bed frame would raise and lower the bed, and also be able to raise/lower the head of the bed and the foot of the bed. Would the metal bed...

    I’m an apprentice - electrocuted under my bosses supervision

    Continue to speak with your HR, and don't concern yourselves with repercussions. You could suggest you are a 'whistle blower', that gives you rights under law. Sound like this guy may have developed a cavalier attitude to safety over the years, wake up call for him, and he will probably thank...

    17th Edition Question

    Correct there. Our national estates manager takes the view, that it makes more business sense to employ a contractor, than for me to carry out electrical installation (or any other qualified works). They don't have to send me on courses, provide insurance, and concern themselves on how to do I...

    Help Understanding EICR

    I was going to say, that could be reflected in the asking price, but that horse has bolted. I would not get too scared at the prospect, you’re committed to renovating the property, just need to factor that into your costings.

    Help Understanding EICR

    You could get another electrician, to look at the EICR and the house electrics. But don't think its a game changer. Has the price of the house been agreed upon?

    17th Edition Question

    I retired from the industry 5 years ago, but was qualified then. I would be happy in carry work in my own house, as I could ask or read here of up to date regs & knowledge. All you need to prove is competency, qualifications are one way of proving that. However, I would not carry out work in...

    Help Understanding EICR

    I'm not qualified to comment on the EICR, but I agree with @timhoward, excellent opportunity now (as long as you can afford), to upgrade your existing electrical installation, perhaps not rewiring but upgrading what you have.
