HI All,

My questions are really around this- - It seems all of my...
Hi, would would be your thoughts on this one?
On the floor under the sink in my kitchen is a power cord that connects the small undersink water heater to the outlet.
It's the heater's power cord connected to a simple extension cord. The coupling of the extension cord lies directly on the tiles...
Hi, I was just wondering if I have a dishwasher on a circuit of its own so I'm looking to put a double socket beside the fused spur in kitchen used for the dishwasher is it ok to just spur of the dishwasher fused spur straight into the double socket.
UK here.
I've noticed the light switch in out kitchen gives a small tingle when you use it with bare feet.
I ran an extension from another socket in the house and found that that there is 240V between the switch and earth from the socket.
I tested resistance between the known good earth and...

But found it was feeding another ccu in the kitchen (Extension)
I couldn't open the ccu as it was boxed very tightly!!
it has...
I've been asked to change few double sockets, but not keen on touching after seeing 6mm cable, so did a bit of checking as can see the kitchen 'extension' has been wired in 6mm (red) with a 40amp MCB. The radial has 5 double sockets, including a dishwasher, tumble dryer, washing machine and...
Hi all - been an idiot / schoolboy error - drilled into a wire that drops down to a fused spur socket in the kitchen (for washing machine I think) - blew 30A fuse for downstairs sockets and tripped RCD. The wire is behind plasterboard.
Any advice on what the repair should be would be appreciated...
Hi there,
We're currently in the process of getting a new kitchen fitted and I wanted to double check the new wiring that has been installed before I plaster over it.
To clarify the electrics have been organised by the fitter so as fair as I know the electrician is part P certified but I was...
