Hi,
Just need some help and advice on a problem I'm having with my garden electrics. Please forgive some of my terminology as I am not an electrician.

This may sound stupid, but as many of you know, I'm fairly new to the game.
I wired a few lights earlier from a loft space. Had a couple of rooms, each with 2 fixtures, supplied via 2 separate switches. Simple wiring of course, all in 1.5mm T+E from the installed lighting circuit...

Hi everyone, I'm a newly qualified electrician. Can someone please clarify for me the accessibility of the junction box. Where is it acceptable to put a junction box or not. Can a junction box be put under floor boards and in the ceiling void for spotlights? Thanks.
Hi chaps.
Put a couple of additional lighting fixtures into a kitchen. Now got a hole in the wall where the spagetti of cables is connected up with Wagos (by the way, this is not a clients place, it's ours so I've overlooked the regs for this "temporary" fix!)
I've got a cavity of about 30mm...
A customer has complained to me because I have used 5 junction boxes to extend cables to a new consumer unit one metre away from the original position. She says the boxes are ugly and spoil the aesthetics of her garage (Please don't ask me why). She says there should be a way of combining the...
