Hi All
I'm looking for an old cover, cream if anyone has one kicking around. Have an old Wylex unit on a renovation project working on and know the board should probably be changed but over budget!
Happy to send some beer tokens if anyone has one. 6 way.

Hi All
Our yearly renewal of liability/ indemnity insurance ( Trade direct ) has come up.
This does include £1000 of tools cover.

Hello all,
When moving the location of the bellbox yesterday (see my previous posted topic), I noticed that alarm does not trigger when the bellbox cover is taken off; i've tried this with the alarm both armed and not. The bellbox does sound in a normal alarm situation however.
At first I...

Evening all. On a job today i've cracked the front of the customers consumer unit because some muppet has put an overly deep MCB in which clashes with the front cover. I hadn't noticed initially as they had obviously not tightened the screws fully previously. I was putting the cover back on...

Doing some work on a building with a tanked basement. In one corner there is a drain cover that is an extraneous conductive part so I need to attach a bonding conductor. I was thinking of something I could bolt on to the rim (about 5cm wide) that wouldn't interfere with taking the cover off...

I've been following the roll out of smart metering and the possible privacy implications for a while after a thread I made a comment in Feb 2014.
Since then there's been a substantial roll out of these devices in many countries (UK included) and it hasn't been without controversy.

I'm flapping a bit because this will be the first time I've been through this as I've always worked with someone else.
Anybody with these?
I have been for two years and recently called to change policy cover to include 3 phase. Woman on the other end didn't understand the difference so I explained and she held me on hold while she spoke to the underwriters. When she got back to me she said as long as you are...
