    UK CF20/CF20TX - Fan Replacement

    I've been asked to replace an Xpelair CF20 extractor fan which has been recessed into the ceiling. I've had a rummage and managed to find a CF20TX in my store. Seems to be very similar looking albeit with rounder corners. Does anyone know if it can be used as a direct replacement or will I be...

    Last Week's Bargain!

    Was having a gander through the crap on a local selling page on Facebook when I came across this wee set. Got the 4 items for £40, none of it has ever seen a cable! Was well chuffed.

    Hellooo

    Not that anyone probably noticed(!) but I haven't been on here recently as I've been very busy! Had a few good contracts at work recently including a 100kW private hydro turbine setup which was something a bit different for us, total cost of job was around £750k! We also wired a house that is...

    Plumbing Related Wonderings!

    We recently had an unvented cylinder installed (to replace an old vented one) and the higher pressure of the hot water has made us realise how crap the tap is on the kitchen sink. Had a wee look under the sink and discovered that I have no isolating valve on the hot pipe! Would I be right in...

    SSE Tariff - Domestic Economy

    Having a bit of a brain fart moment guys and would appreciate some input, please bare with me! The domestic economy rate I believe is the new name for economy 7. I am aware that the off-peak time for this tariff varies slightly region/weather depending. Basing my question on a distant family...

    14 Showers, one property

    Couldn't believe it the other day when we were having a quick walk around a guesthouse prior to an EICR scheduled for next week. Okay they weren't all electric, but 12 of them were! The property comprises of 11 ensuite bedrooms plus 3 bed owners accomodation and a small salon. Half of the...

    *Official Competion Entries*

    Oh go on then! So it's not the neatest you'll see but I always struggle a bit with neatness with board changes, especially when there are cables coming in from all angles! I am aware that the hole at the back is too large (as pointed out by Paul on a picture I posted before) but have only...

    Ps4

    Not sure if this has been done before, just did a quick search and found nothing but that might be tapatalks fault!, but would be good to get some fellow trainee's PSNs as I just got a PS4 and have very little in the way of friends yet (lol). Also what games do people recommend? It came with...

    Small Issue - Fluke T5-1000

    Hi all, having a bit of an issue with the above meter. I have owned it for about a year now and have recently noticed I am getting a reading a reading of around 9 ohms between the leads.

    Looking to get Sky +. I live in a small block of 4 flats and have access to the communal loft. The flats are around 30 years old and seem to only have one cable running from the loft to a single duplexer(?) plate in the living room providing freesat or freeview. Looking to throw in a shotgun...

    Total Heating Total Control

    Hi all, a question aimed more at my fellow Scottish members, I've recently moved into a flat that is on the above tariff. I am billed two amounts - heating and domestic, obviously with storage heaters and off peak water on lower rate, and power/lights on normal rate. My question is what rate is...

    Learning

    Hi all, we are looking to get a bit more into satellite stuff. When first fixing we will run all the coax's etc, but that's as far as we go. What I'd like to know is if there is anything decent online or any decent books worth buying. We're just looking to get to know a bit more of the...

    They don't teach you how to do this at college!

    Not sure what that is meant to be? Obviously ran out of blanks! Adapters & adapters, random hotel find. Underfloor heating insurance replacement, this is the third one from the same company! Safe zones?

    Apprentice/Trainee Starter Tools - A Guide!

    This is a question that is asked to death so I thought I'd put together a little list of the basics you will need to get started! Obviously the type of work and location are both factors in the tools you will need so please only use this as a guide rather than a definitive list of what you will...

    European Sockets

    Hi all, my mum runs a B&B and has a lot of issues with European guests forgetting adapters, etc. and was wondering if fitting a European socket in the house would be ok? I'm yet to confirm the actual voltage in her house but can't see anything wrong otherwise? She's provided adapters in the past...

    Homers!

    As with my previous question, for fellow trainees AND mentors. What is the general view on homers. Obviously it all falls down to competency but I just wondered what other peoples views on it were? (I'm sure I would know the answer if I asked in the main part of the forum!) On the same topic...

    Heating

    Hi all, question to the mentors (and/or fellow trainees!): I'm looking to learn a bit more about how heating systems (more boiler type) work. I can sit and wire a JB following a diagram no bother but struggle to understand some of the different systems. In most of our new builds it seems to be...
