Forgive me if this is a dumb idiot question, but I'm not a sparky and I have a need to know.
My wife and I are in a 15th Century cottage and most of the electrics is the original wiring from when electricity came to the village in the early '50s - lead covered stuff for the most part. We had a...
Did a "quick" search (that means I was lazy) but are you guys moving forward with structured/network cabling in the work that you do or advising your customers of the benefits of having a central area where network cabling ends as well as the entry point for all feeds?
Just a bit bit stumped by the simplicity of a job to add another external light to a new build (about 5 years old). They have 3 external lights and they want a 4th. Easy. SWA emerges into adaptable and then flex used to cable the existing external lights. I'm just stopped by how to do it neatly...

Hi,
I've got a job coming up that involves networking an underground office. The walls cannot be chased and the Ethernet sockets need to mounted on the wall. I was thinking of running the cable in trunking but I don't think it'll look professional, then thought of using conduit but not too sure...

Hi All,
I am in a dispute with David Wilson Homes (aka Barratt's) and David Wilson Homes who have built my house to a incredibly low standard.
We are in dispute over the electrical cabling as none of the cabling is clipped on vertical runs, cable is penetrating the roof insulation and cutting...
Hi All,
Been asked to connect up a mains water feature which comes with a 10m rubber flex.
Just wondering if anyone else has done this and how they protected the cable to the pump from mechanical damage.
Thanks

Hi, I am looking for some advice, my bungalow was built in 1926 and in the 20 years that I have owned it there has always been an ugly lead pipe half chased in the plaster and half not, running behind the front door, making decorating in the hall awkward as well as being unsightly.

The cable on leaving the house runs down the wall and along a patio with no tube around it. It's a standard, tho thickish, cable.
It runs into the shed, to a double socket that supplies a...
Hi all
I have just been told by a tricky desiger that the structured cabling I have installed throughout the years has not been properly commissioned as I have no structured cabling accreditation
is he right?
Is there any National acreditation for structured cabling? I am aware that many...
Guys, here's the situation; a big house with an 80 metre (or so) garden which has a swimming pool towards the end of it. A few metres further on from the pool is a purpose built pool house (I.e. posh outbuilding), and behind that is the pump/filtration shed. Now, the cable that supplies the pump...
