So only a week until it starts....Will be good to see them back on the screen after Chris Evans miserable attempt at hosting Top Gear! Will you be watching? Apparently the opening scene cost £2.5 million to make!
Evening all,
Unfortunately no picture on this scenario until I move into my new house on the 25th, so hopefully my words do it justice.
The house that I am moving into has a small area underneath the stairs that we would ideally (eventually) like to make into a toilet as the house is single...
Hi. Don't know if anyone can help but I'm stuck and I thought I may get ideas from this forum. Was thinking of going on a 4 week, level 2 course. However, not sure if it offers much hands on experience . New to electrics but keen to learn and change career . I'm a woman but I think that's...
Anyone in to their shooting? I've packed in my Sunday morning football recently, and have been doing a fair bit of shooting to try and fill the void.
I'm hoping to go for a full FAC when I get established at a few clubs, but am very interested in air rifles too since they are so accessible and...
Hi,

Hi everyone, apologies in advance, it's been a long day and I've not even had my lunch yet, so I'll try and keep this quick!
Running a supply to a wooden summer house, coming from existing CU on a 20A MCB with 30mA RCD as the main switch. It's going to run in 4mm 3-core SWA buried under a...
Hi There,
First of all I am not a electrician, I am a carpenter. But my client has had a recent problem with a series of lights... and I am just seeing if its something that I could possibly fix or it is something more serious and need to get a registered electrician in.
There is 7 different...
Morning all. Woke up and realised I've just about had enough of being cards in. I'm working for a great company and I get payed a decent wage but I can't stop thinking how easy it looks going it alone. I get quite a few emails and phone calls from recruitment agencies asking me to do contract...
Hi Guys,
I'm going to look at a job next week, 3 bed semi bungalow. The property is going to be fully occupied whilst works are being carried out which is going to be a full rewire, new board etc. I have only just set out on my own and would appreciate any idea of a fair price (roughly) that...
Keep in mind the electricians directory is still very very new and not all areas are ranking well yet.
But for those with listings that are in areas that are ranking, how's it going for you? Had any enquiries? Noticed any hits from our forum to your website? Anybody phoned you directly from...
Hi all, Looking for advice, I am an experienced electrician and have been asked by a customer to install electric underfloor heating throughout a converted victorian chapel as a primary heat source. The customer is open to all options. I am intending to have a professional appraisal from a...
I have been trying for days to get though to find out where my card is. You get put in a clue 6/9 and sometimes it says we have a high level of callers at the minute.
After an half an hour it just cuts you off.
So send an email! A week ago. Still waiting, its just an renewal done the test logged...
Situation is there's some 53 year old pyro cable that I need to either remove, or make dead, or cut short and push back into the wall having ensured that the still-live end cannot short out the circuit or come into contact with anything.
No hope of fully removing it, as it goes up the cavity...
Quite a few of use have put our names down in the 'Find an Electrician' forum and I have a suggestion.
When you go on to this part of the forum it just gives a big long list of names and no other information unless you click on the persons name. No client is going to go through this list...
Just checked the L-N loop at a fusebox and got a reading of 0.12ohms (great! :D), so going to call up and try to arrange to get a PME system put in. Anyway I was just going though 5.4 regs and didn't spot where (assuming it's in there) it says if it's ok to have both PME and TT earth connections...
So after a hard day at work today I decided to go to the local golf practice range, to whack a few balls and work on my golf swing.
After purchasing a hundred balls and filling the hopper ( yes it's a posh range with automatic tee's ). I sat down on the bench behind the bay I'd chosen to swap...
