    extension cord thru ceiling going in attic ?

    I like to be able to connect an electrical tool such as small vacuum cleaner to clean things on the attic or a light. For convenience, I like to plug one end of this cord to an outlet on the ground level, then let it run straight up to a small hole on the ceiling to the attic. So, only a few...

    LED Spots going dim

    About 4 years ago I replaced 20+ halogen spots with GU10 LED's. I didn't change the downlights but removed the LV transformers. Every time the customer asks for other electrical work they report that a few bulbs have gone dim and I replaced them. Today, more work but 7 more bulbs need changing...

    MK consumer units going out of business?

    I was told this in my local YESS electrical supplies. Is it true? I've been fitting MK as standard for years thinking they would always be around!

    Went to a job today and noticed a length of metal conduit going across a pathway. The metal conduit is not earthed.

    I just wondered what people’s thoughts were as to weather it should be earthed being an extraneous conductive part? It’s fixed to the concrete floor and if there was a break down in insulation there could be a potential difference. If you do bond it could it be introducing a risk? 1598092922...

    Do the cables for my outside lights need to be insulated before going under my patio slabs?

    Currently my builder is placing the cables straight under the slabs between the hard-core and cement. Should he be doing this or do they need to be insulated?

    UK How useful is a level 2 in electrical installations going to be in my situation?

    So I've been wanting to enter the electrical trade for quite some time, I'll try and keep my query as brief and as straightforward as possible : I'm 32 years old with no formal electrical qualifications, or industry experience. I'm essentially from an academic background, I've previously been...

    Additional fused spur

    As a rank amateur at electrics I had hoped to have an electrician complete the mains connection to my low voltage garden lighting. Owing to the lockdown this isn’t possible so I’m going to have a go. Question - I already have a fused spur, fed from a double socket, to feed an outdoor garden...

    This isn't about the pros and cons of the various job lead and advertising sites. Had an email from checkatrade saying that during April and probably future months you can either pay a reduced 50% monthly fee or become associated member which means you won't appear in general search results but...
