    Bathroom zones with a ceiling shower head

    If I fit a fixed shower head flush with the ceiling, like this one: Would that make Zone 1 include the ceiling, the walls up to the ceiling or would zone 1 still finish at 2.25m? Ceiling height is 2.4m. Wondering whether I will need zone 1 lighting & vents in the ceiling.

    Socket feeding conservatory - Part P?

    Quick question - as a temporary measure our conservatory is fed by a normal 13a plug via an RCD socket in the house - a shed nearby is also connected on the conservatory circuit via armoured cable. Is this Part P notifiable? Thanks for any advice.

    PAT testing, fixed, portable. The definitive answer!

    I think to stop all confusion between fixed and non fixed appliance testing we need to re name the procedure. My suggestion is:- Frequent Allencompassing Rigorous Testing F.A.R.T We could all then get a C& G in FARTING! :angel_smile:

    Fixed Appliances--Again-No doubt

    Hi, I have done the 2377-22, but as an old git I still feel that some fixed appliances do not come under the umbrella of PAT testing. Most test machines do their calculations etc based around the 13amp cartridge fuse, but cookers are generally 30amp, or 45amp, so to me they surely shouldnt come...
