I returned home and went to turn my light on and nothing happened, all the breakers are on as well as all the other lights on the circuit. Put several bulbs in it and no luck. Im taking the switch/light down tomorrow to have a look, is it most likely going to be a connection lose? any other...

Hello all,
Hope this finds you well.
Three or so years ago I qualified at college after taking C&G 2330 and the 17th Edition. It was a part time day release course and took 4 years to complete. I wasn't in the trade at the time and so any experience came from working nights and weekends as an...
We have just repainted our spare bedroom with our normal emulsion paint and noted a vertical streak from the ceiling down to a socket. We repainted over the streak but the streak reappeared.
I used my cable detector and established that the cable run was directly under the streak. The streak...

Doing an attic conversion and been asked by the builder to put the bedroom switch just outside the bedroom door. As built in wardrobes going either side of the door in the bedroom. Never came across this or gave it much thought. Is a bedroom switch allowed to be outside? Cheers
called to a job where the customer wanted more sockets in his bedroom. more than surprised to find a bath about 1 meter away from his bed which he said was moved there 12 years ago with the full consent of the council.he said they hadn't brought up any problems with existing sockets when this...

If I'm fitting a ceiling fan in the bedroom off the lighting circuit then do I need any more isolation than switching off the lighting circuit at the fuse box?
One set of instructions telling me I need a double pole isolator which I could understand in a bathroom or commercial but seems...
Firstly, I'm not an electrician and I'm not going to be doing the work.
A friend of a friend has been quoted to re-wire their 3 bedroom semi in Manchester.
I think due to the age of the house, that it will be VIR with the origional rewireable fusebox.
All sockets, switches and CCU need...
