    Extract fan testing - LABC

    Thats why I say installed to MI - which should really give a maximum run of ducting to still comply, though I'm not sure I've seen that in any of the ones I've recently installed. I can see some sort of benefit in the cases you describe - but then what are the chances of anything else being...

    ESQCR regs? On BS951 clamp

    I'd raise it with the engineer who comes out - perhaps while offering a tea! They might well do it on the spot if the head is suitable and tests OK. Something I didn't realise, but was raised in one of the e5 webinars a while back - there was a period in the 70s (I think) when a BS 951 clamp...

    Fine if you have the calibration certificate for the tissue....

    Extract fan testing - LABC

    I'm sure CEF had a big banner on their site a week or so ago re a new change coming in imminently requiring fan testing, but I only glanced at it and can't find it on their site at all now. Surely if it's a new build and a new fan it should come with a certificate to confirm it meets...

    Wiska CU re-locator?

    Nick Bundy did a video on it a while back - (about 4:20 for the bit) - and had to cannibalise two because he needed to move one of the larger contacts. Does show that there is no din rail connection when he has one out though. He also did one with the standard din rail 2 years ago - Looks...

    Change Old Brass Downlights

    If the hole ends up too big for standard downlights, and you don't like the cover plate type, I used these recently which are cheap and fit nicely in a hole 100-120mm The traditional cover plate type never look that nice to me, but they are a simple fix to cover large or messy holes without...

    Exterior Light Box Depth

    I'd imagine there will be something suitable, but hopefully our resident American expert @Megawatt might have some ideas as there is a lot more crossover in fittings with Canada.

    Dodgy trade pictures for your amusement! - 1 Million Views!

    Looking at a property for a client today that will become an HMO. It was a post office, then converted to a house in the 2000s. Mix of 70s, 80s and 00s in there but was already going to suggest a rewire . Then I find this - which is of course the latest 'work' - post 2005 since new colours...

    Continuity test after Ring Circuit

    If everything is installed perfectly from new then the tests are really just a way of proving that you've done the due diligence. In practise, unless the cabling is all visible from start to finish, there is always the opportunity for things to not be what they seem, and the tests are designed...

    Continuity test after Ring Circuit

    Yes any of the MFTs will also do Insulation Resistance as well as RCD testing of the sort needed in domestic (aside from car EV chargers, which is a different specialised segment. Occasional third party calibration (usually is in the £40-60ish price range) is ideal, but not always necessary...

    Recent EICR unsatisfactory w/ C2 and FI... advise needed!

    Yes that's helpful thanks. Will take a longer look later....never seen 9 schedule pages on a domestic EICR before! Is this one property, or separate flats? There are some issues with the certificate I can see already, though nothing too serious that suggests it's not genuine. If anything...

    Continuity test after Ring Circuit

    The two separate tests for a RFC that use a low resistance Ohmmeter are to check slightly different things. The initial continuity one is to ensure that there is a "ring", which any continuity tester can show to some extent. However, the point of the low resistance Ohmmeter is to get actual...

    Recent EICR unsatisfactory w/ C2 and FI... advise needed!

    Do you have a breakdown of the quote? If it involves combining all of those consumer units into one and a significant bit of rewiring then there is quite a bit of work involved, although that does sound still a little steep. Some areas of the country are significantly more expensive due to...

    Nightmare with Varilight V-Pro (Eclique2) dimmer failures

    Glad to hear that I wasn't missing anything obvious, though annoying if it is the halogens since I am within their stated limits. I did want to go to LEDs at the start, however the problem is that the light fitting has very short clear shades: And all the dimmable G9 lamps i could find were...
