Hi. Existing standard blank plate, which I would like to change to an electrical socket to feed a kettle or a toaster for example. The blank plate cable run looks like it feeds two separate electrical outlets. One is used for the ignition only on a gas cooker (via 13 amp plug) the other is used...
Hello folks, could anyone advise where to get hold of blanks to cover the open fuse slots in this old Wylex bakerlite fuse box please ?
As well as the exposed 2 x line wires (red), terminals and bus bar - there is no lid to cover all the fuses.
The house owner said they have a quote to replace...
Hi all,
I was hoping to get advice on how to blank off this light switch.
There are 2 light switches in the room which control the same light. I want to blank off 1 which is above my child's cot and she turns on during the night. I want the other switch to continue to operate the light as...
Hi all
just a question regarding a consumer unit that I noticed on a job while carrying out a light fitting change. Would this be acceptable. It’s a proteus consumer unit. The tails come In from the bottom of the consumer unit and bend up to the right HS of the surge protection and into the...
Any idea what might be wrong with this?
Did an EICR today, vacant flat. There was a power cut last month, and when power came back, the meter was like this.
The tenant had no idea how much credit he had in it.
He’s moved on now, and the LL needs to sort it out. Is it a case of just getting...
hi. i know what sockets most be at least 300mm from the cooker. but if socket is removed and blank plate installed, does it still need to be 300 mm away form the cooker?
Afternoon All,
DIY'er here, Just wanted to run through something which I'm pretty sure is simple but, I just want some claification.
I have some electric wall heaters that have a fused switch on the wall.
I have taken one down as I no longer want it in the room it is in. (obviously with power...

the existing fan had three wires going to it which were red yellow and blue (There is a blank wire but this was not connected to nothing) but I don’t know what ones are live earth neutral etc to wire up the new fan.
the old fan...
Hi there I'm new here so apologies if this is the wrong place,
My prepayment electric meter screen went blank last week, I was advised this was to do with a power cut, I am currently on supply. I live in a block of flats and the electrician that came out advised that they would need access to...
looking for advice, I have a Bosstherm BPS242 wired thermostat that is showing a blank screen at approx same time each day, the screen display returns later, have tried new batteries, no difference. Eventually replaced screen unit for only the same issue to happen at the same time of day. Do not...
I've got a socket which is a bit too close to the sink, its above the drainer and it sits closer than the 300mm mentioned on other threads on this forum (long time lurker first time poster!).
What's the best way to remedy this, is a blanking plate considered an appropriate fix?
The area is...
Mornin'
I did a small job for a client earlier in the week and told her I need to complete a Minor Works cert - as you do..
She said that she didn't need one because she had this - waving an EICR under my nose.
Looking through the document, it all looked good until the last page - test results...
Hi. I am currently facing a situation which I never encountered before and was wondering if any of you has experienced it before and might help me out with a solution please.
At work, some people are having static electric shock and it's causing there's and there neighbor's monitor to go blank...

Thanks
I do not really expect any replies, just a little rant, a voice in the wilderness. I shelved the idea of going into my loft coversion today. The neighbours have legitimate concerns regards all sorts. The cost of appointing surveyors is such that we have decided we will have to move if we want a...
I have some large sections of a dist board I need to blank off and was wondering if anyone had come across long lengths of dist board blanks in black. Ideally something like plastic trunking lid that can be cut to size.
I would rather not put lots of short sections in, as some sections are...
Just been sent this by a customer who was charged £250 for an EICR for a property they are thinking of buying.....The customer didn't understand it and wanted a second opinion.
