    Getting up floorboards with no marks?

    As a matter of interest, I was mulling about a tool that could lift floorboards with no marks. I wonder if anyone on here has any method/tool to do so.

    Removing MEM breakers

    Hi folks, Well today I attended another house to perform a bathroom upgrade. Upon visiting the mains board I noticed it was a MEM. Not ideal I thought as my previous experience taught me that RCBOs were not possible with these mcbs. I then noticed that a previous spark had fitted a hager RCBO...

    Sockets behind kitchen kick boards

    I'm looking for some ideas; with a lot of washing machines and undercounter appliances being 600mm deep you can't risk putting services behind these, so I find the safest way is to install sockets and cooker outlets behind the kick boards. Fine for everyone bar the sparky. It's a real pain...
