    Smoke detectors and Scotland (again!)

    Lots of threads already about the new legislation, and February ain’t far away… so I’d just like to post a few queries for discussion. Not that I’ve come across anything myself. Customers are usually happy with the bare minimum, but just things I’ve heard. Smoke detector fitted in attic where...

    Cooker switch plates again

    Just been asked to reinstate a cooker point. Existing feed is checking out perfectly. However, the existing back box has top and bottom lugs ~135mm apart. I'm assuming that this is an old imperial box. Can anyone suggest what faceplate is appropriate? Yes, yes, next time I take a photo...

    Copper prices going up up and up again

    Went to scrap yard today, had a large sack, just shy of 20KG of stripped copper cables. Was shocked when he said £6 per KG... nice Brucy bonus for me there... Copper has gone up again after a little fall. from a job point of view it means the price of cables is going to go up even further. Did...

    Wet pants strikes again.....

    I was on the Wirral so my gaffer asked if I could swing by a pub as the landlord doesn't think the water tank is properly supported. So I goes into the abandoned flat and ogle the surface conduit, bakerlite switches and wooden pattresses. Then remembered the water tank. Stuck my head...

    Smart meter push, again.

    Today I got a note by postcard from SSE saying: "We recently contacted you about your new smart meter, which can be delivered and installed for you from 10 May" Now I am not aware of being contacted, certainly not by phone, so it seems a bit disingenuous to tell me this. Also I have a fairly...

    A circuit in my house quit working when a toaster oven and portable electric heater where both running on it. Normally the simple fix would be resetting the tripped breaker. However, the breaker did not appear to be tripped. I turned it off and on just to make sure and still no luck. Next...

    I've been messing with the forums again

    I've been messing with the forums again. So some things might look different here and there. Mainly, the forum homepage layout has had the "Latest Post" and the Statistics columns removed. Reason being most users now view the forum on a mobile, so it looked too busy really for the amount of...

    125A D Type MCB keeps tripping on a heater element circ

    I changed 3 x 125A fuses for 3 x 125A D type MCBs (ABB). They held for a day and then two started tripping, we didn't have any spare 125A, so we fitted 100A C type and the issue has disappeared, can anyone shed any light on this for me please?

    Catching up again - Ads and Advent Wins mostly

    Morning all, Apologies for the delay in posting this. I've moved house and we had to wait for the internet to get connected from VM as nobody in the property had it before, and they needed to dig up some street for us (at our cost the lovely bar stewards). I realise the ads have been crazy...

    Help! Rewiring 3 way switch, cannot get it to work again.

    Long story short, I tried to replace my existing 3 way switch with a new 3 way switch, but I had to pretty much take everything out and my attempt at putting everything back as it was failed because now the ceiling lights controlled by the new switch don't work. The other 3 way switch is located...

    Borrowed neutral - again!

    As I've said before, I'm not a qualified electrician but have worked as a mate a few times. I'm retired now and as a hobby I study all things electrical (domestic). I know this has been asked before on this forum but as an amateur I still can't understand how the wiring for "borrowed neutrals"...
