    10mm cable sleeve and doh

    Why not use L or N tape or brown, blue or gy stripey? I know with some cheap insulating tape the glue goes all gooey when subject to a bit of heat as may be encountered in a dist board but the scotch 35 grade stuff won't

    New to PAT Testing

    Why this thing about stickers? You are not obliged to put stickers everywhere and they are easily abused. I sometimes have to do appliances in holiday homes and I provide them with an appliance register and a detailed pass and fails schedule as per the code of practice. I print these out so...

    Is this Asbestos? In an old Ceiling

    Having just drilled some holes into a ceiling that was obviously plasterboard to then discover that the ceiling had been boarded over and was very suspicious that it may be an asbestos board or that the artex that was on the original board may contain asbestos, I sent a sample to Asbestos...

    Siemens RWB29 programmer wiring

    The radiator in the room with the wallstat is not meant to have a trv so not sure if anyone will help you connect things up incorrectly. I believe it is obligatory / good practice to have a wallstat.

    Stroma Certification Scheme Stroma Digital EIC & Notification of Works certificates

    Every time you use E-Cert it adds 5 years onto your age. Maybe he has gone senile. On the ecert software you just double click a button to generate a certificate which gets saved as a pdf which can then be fowarded to the customer. When using the notification portal you are asked for an email...

    Understanding and using a TV splitter.

    50dB micro volts was the recommended minimum signal level when dtv first started and is the figure I still use. Amplifying a signal should not be the default choice, amplification should only be used when necessary. It can easily destroy a signal or overload the agc on a tv tuner. Just because...

    30 Amps DP mains supply concern

    The colour is not relevant (red or brown doesn't matter). Having two meters from a single phase cutout isn't done now but used to be. You appear to have 4 if the supply really is single phase. The only way an electrician would be able to tell is to measure voltages between the lives in the...

    30 Amps DP mains supply concern

    Can you show a picture of the top of the cutout (big black thing the supply cable goes into)? There look to be a number of red / brown cables emerging from it which would be an ESQCR issue if it really is single phase.

    Accessory screw covers

    Anybody got any tips on how to remove the little plastic inserts that the likes of Click and BG supply to cover the screw heads on the front of their switches / sockets etc? I often use a bradawl but this always damages them and is fairly obvious when they are replaced. BG normally supply double...

    What would you do here.

    They have to fill in what I think is called a MOPs report which is a meter operators sheet where they note any defects or queries to the existing equipment. They waste a lot of DNO time reporting exposed conductive parts in the cutout, what the rest of us would call the pme terminal. Each report...

    My trusty Hitachi SDS drill has died!:-(

    Another vote for anything Hilti, I have a 36V TE6. For my mains sds drill I bought an Hitachi a couple of years ago as it had the highest impact energy in it's class, trouble is it eats cheap chisel bits

    Interesting cutout and apparent lack of earth

    If it is 'set up for pme' the pme terminal will be exposed / accessible so do a loop test. If it isn't then do a two wire loop test on l & n or a 3 wire on l with both your n & e leads connected to the incoming n. The phase - neutral loop impedance figure WPD use for the existing network is 0.47...
