    Which downlights do you use?

    If white bezels are ok with the customer then I have been using the Enlite spryte 8w. as Andy78 says, if checking and showing customer beforehand then you know the requirements. The sprytes come in warm or cool white, dimmable or not. Comes as a complete unit with 600mm twin flex and I stick a...

    Keeping the body fit

    Definitely agree to look after your knees by always wearing knee pads in your trousers or ‘strap ons’ during the summer with shorts. Wearing gloves can save getting micro abrasions leading to rougher hands than the wife would appreciate! and not mentioned is ear defenders for even the smallest...

    EICR question

    As you intend to rent it out, as HHD has said it would be a benefit to upgrade to a new consumer unit perhaps with RCBOs covering every circuit separately. You’ll be in a better position to rent it if you are up to date and safe. That being said, I would get a second opinion for the costing just...

    Complicated dual tariff arrangement with four main switches.

    Photos always help out here @Selfmade. It does sound like they’ve over complicated things and just two consumer units would suffice. It may have been how the installer could understand to do it in the first place. It all works, right?

    Help with choice of fittings

    I know right? I hate it when you have to concentrate on the job! I use Hamilton Verve - bit of quality, good range throughout and easy on the eye. The posh range are quite expensive though. Moulded white is very affordable. Hager were my faves for a long while - gorgeous to look at. Selling...

    Help needed, is this correct?

    Sometimes you will get legs going to feed upstairs then en route they drop down in a chase to downstairs sockets. Best way is with a plug in tester, switch one MCB off and mark which sockets are off with that one, then do the same with the other. Mark it on the socket or on an A4 sheet and...
