If you noticed a problem with emails over the past 4-5 days, you should find it starts to kick in today for you.
Let me know if you have any problems or don't get emails correctly.
Nope, I'm not coming out...
I'm having a quiet day so decided to post this morning rather than after gin o'clock.
My friendly DPD driver, Ross, is due shortly with the replacement Sangamo controller for my water heater so that's a wee job for this afternoon.
Other stuff...
I like boats of all...
I need your help please once again in tracing a fault. Am DIY but not clueless. Converting former kitchen into 2 rooms: bathroom and laundry. The room had 24 cheapo ceiling spots, originally tungsten then 240v GU10 LEDs that I am replacing. Circuit spilt into two halves with two gang wall...
I’m trying to install my Ring doorbell (2nd gen) and I’ve discovered that the transformer feeding my Freidland isn’t producing any power. I suspect that I connected the jumper lead between the wrong wires (thanks to Ring’s really confusing instruction!) so I now need to replace it. I don’t want...
Here we go again, another job that has had a council inspection, different council to last time but still perplexing.
The problem with these jobs is we don't get a spec and are told to just do what you think is best, so we do. We work for a company that does work for an insurance company that...
This is a topic that comes up a lot and seems to attract near-religious levels of fever in how folks argue over the choice of circuit for UK sockets. However, often the arguments are ill-informed or they veer off in to pointless corners, or sometimes get personal. This is my attempt to put a lot...
I have a pressure washer that I got as part of "a good deal", actually an exceedingly good deal as I later found out. I've had it a while, I guess probably at least 25 years, but it doesn't get used all that often. Hard to say, but I reckon I've probably not done 200 hours with it in that time -...
We all know how to and why we get the 1/4 value, but to what, if anything do we add to that figure and into what box on the cert does it go, depends on who you ask/assessor is apparently,
So I heard on the news this morning that they will be reviving Fault Towers. Also see below.

I can't see this going far. Don't get me wrong, I loved the original (as you can tell by my signature) but there will be too many people...
Morning all
So the site I'm based at recently had some work done (think partitioners). This package of work included electrical. This was actually good news to me in a way, as it was one less job for me to do on an already busy schedule - but it was niggling at me that I'd possibly end up...
Hi
Our oven stopped working suddenly including the clock. It was on the fan oven setting at about 150 degrees. I checked the fuse board - it had not tripped. A little bit later when I used one of the gas hobs (the gas hobs have an automatic igniter) the oven came back to life ie clock came back...
Added to the collection Wiha 16 piece slim-bit set
Some guy was doing Amazon returns and was knocking these sets out for £39 each including free next day delivery
The devil in me couldn't resist as I have seen these sets retail £50+
Hey all,
Could do with some help.
I had a company recommended to me who quoted me to do an EICR on my rental property. (£265). I thought this was quite expensive but as I've been messed around no end by tradesmen I thought I'd go with the recommendation and pay the extra.
I also asked him to...
You have been missed. I guess I speak for many when I write it is good to have you back contributing your great expertise. I hope in your absence you have been well. :)
I had an Amazon gift voucher for me B.day and just simply could not resist so ordered a set of Bahco Ergo Slim Vde Screwdrivers

Seem quite nice but only time...
Hi Guys
Got few of these coming up now... 1st fixes done.
Now the fun bit of 2nd fixes - bit of a head scratcher as none seem the same! 🤯
What I'm after help on is... I need to install a volt free relay if my switched live is 230v, which it is.
Does anyone have a link of where I could get a...
Took a look at a block of flats today that has a TNC-S supply. Each flat is fed by a 2-core mineral insulated cable. The earth and neutral are then combined again using a henley block prior to entering the consumer unit. Has anyone come across this before?
Just watched a video by J Ward covering parts 1,2 & 3, any thoughts on the consumer unit, this being a Type Tested Assembly, where if non compatible Mcb’s are used it does not comply & does not remain a Consumer Type Tested Assembly.
No mention of what it becomes though, so what happens next...
My first solariboost+ was installed in 2015. In July 2019 it went dead, power good. Marlec supplied me with a reduced cost unit (£149) which was installed the same month, now this one has failed in less than three years. The immersion heater element was new about three years ago and still works...
HI all,

The question is as my quals have lapst do i need to join REAL and be MCS as of 2022, i was in them but it's really going to put me off if i have to jump all these hoops again ??
THanks
