    Comments - Full Rewire Required - C1

    Hi All, A top quality EICR report attached. I'm detecting an increase in opportunists looking to scare the bejesus out of landlords in particular. This report is utter crap. Everything ticked or N/A on the inspection schedules to suggest all is satisfactory but then some belter C1's in...

    UK Puzzled by electrician comments about earth fault.

    Hi, Our house has just had an electrical safety check by a qualified electrician. He said he had found an earth fault but was called away on another job and can't return for three weeks. Meantime, I am left wondering about his comments and would like to get a better understanding. He said we...

    Could I ask if you could help explain the comments re a Domestic ElCR report that has come back unsatisfactory please

    Background: I have a ex council 1st floor flat that I bought, I moved in to care for my disabled mum and so rented the flat as I could not do enough hours work and care. I was told I am a kind landlord and when asked to do things I will jump immediately as I would not like my tenant to have a...

    So has anyone tried the 'The Last of Us II' on PS4 (Caution may contain plot spoilers in comments)!!

    With a lot of supposed backlash which I feel is somewhat a deliberate rating bashing by gaming critics, what do you think of it? I actually overall enjoyed it and my only critique is the cutscenes are too many and too long and the fact you cannot skip them even after completing the game.

    UK Garden light repair comments

    Pulled up old garden spike light to reveal what you see in the picture (the light was made in Italy - ERAL was printed on the inside). Originally I thought the part remaining in the ground was the bottom of the spike, but now think it might be a conduit for the wire inside. My plan is to fit...

    Consumer Unit I would be interested in your sage comments

    Hi, a quote I just sent out to a customer. Have I interpreted the regs correctly ? You're welcome to use it if you think it's ok. P.S.it's meant to get the point across in laymans terms.

    Comments please

    Went to price up a board change today from fuses to rcbo. Opened the outside meter box and saw this. The fuseboard is on the end of the 16mm twin and (unconnected) earth about 1m through the wall.

    Comments on this incoming supply and fuse boards?

    Looking to install a bathroom extractor and isolator. Looking at the set up it looks like a TT system with old fuses and later additions protected by an RCD. Looking forward to doing some testing before I jump in. It’s an ex LA semi with an extension to the side. Have so far been unable to...

    Hi all, Bit of a long post - sorry! Am developer/client on a residential project (new block of flats) where an engineer has specified some equipment, and was hoping to get some feedback from guys on the tools if you see what I mean?.

    Comments on this DIY job please?

    Evening.. I am working on a large property at the moment putting in a new bathroom, kitchen etc. The owner has done a fair bit of DIY. One such job entails using a bit of 2 core flex (0.75mm) from a JB under the floorboards, then up the wall in trunking and across the loft where it reaches its...

    Vivaro/Traffic or Transit? Owners comments......

    New van time (well probably a 2011 or newer), I'm drawn towards a SWB/MWB high top Transit for extra space but there are loads of Vivaros about but most people that have them seem to think they have dodgy gearboxes etc. If you've got experience of either.......

    Hi Everyone, I have gone back to using hand written certs a lot easier and all completed on site. The problem is with the elecsa certs when doing a consumer unit upgrade the comments on existing installation box is too small to fill in all observations so I have seen a observation continuation...

    Rates & Comments

    Hi - I have been offered a PAT testing contract in the North of Scotland for 60p an item. Although PAT testing isn't my main business this seems a little low to me. I normally test small shops and business and do low volume work but I get around £2 an item. As this contract involves hundreds of...
