    The next instalment of the chicken and egg mystery

    You might remember this delight from the dodgy trade pictures thread.... I finally got back to quote for sorting today. The chicken and egg question was whether the plumber or the sparks did this. The confusion was there were no fixing holes visible from a previous position. Yet the water pipe...

    How to supply a garage with 32 Amps for a car charger and another 32 Amps for sockets?

    Currently, I have a side garage port (with a garage door, but open on the garden side) supplied by a 2.5mm2 radial circuit. The plan is to convert the port to a proper garage next year. As the bedrooms are currently under refurbishment and the floorboards easily accessible, I would like to make...

    Garage Electrics - Fitting a light and another socket with fused spur.

    Hi all, I have recently bought a house. The garage is at the end of the garden and has a double socket. The socket is on the ring and not a spur. It has 2 live, 2 neutral and 2 earths. It was basically falling off the wall so want to replace it. The garage has no lighting so I want to fit a...

    What is another name for an electrical apprentice?

    Hi all, South African here, 10 year's experience in IBM RPG programming. I stumbled upon this forum looking for answers, but because of the dedication I see from the members I'd rather study around here a bit before asking something, so I learn properly. Definitely happy to make a mistake and...

    Passing another circuit through back box

    Had a bit of a ‘discussion’ today with another electrician. Basically found a light switch in which the radial cable for a socket directly below (but about 3ft lower) passed through. Other electrician said it was wrong and shouldn’t be done. My take was that it is, at best, a bit of bad...

    Another Wylex compatibility question

    A relative of mine has a Wylex NHRS6606 split load CU (i.e. main switch and one RCD), probably from around 2003, and it is fitted with the likes of the NSB32 MCBs. I don't have a picture of the inside, nor can I expect them to safely do that, so I was wondering if anyone knows if the recent...

Looking forward to actually learning the old school methods as much as the new so I can pass on the knowledge In the...

    Probably another simple switch question

    I've got 4 different sets of fixtures between our dining room and kitchen: 1 set of can lights + 1 set of pendants in EACH room. I'd like each fixture group to have it's own dimmer switch, all in the same switch box. The source power comes in directly between the rooms with 12/3 nm cable (the...

    Another EICR coding question

    Yesterday's EICR. The cut out and meter are in a damp cellar, and are fixed to a chipboard board on the wall. The chipboard has slowly rotted over the years, you now can push a pencil through it in places. The rather rusty fixings have pulled through it, so the board and everything fixed to...
