Is there anyone out there with any experience of this tester and the back up that Ideal provide?
Thanks

Went to have a look at a rented property that was owned by a lady I had done work for previously.
The previous tenants had caused a bit of damage to sockets, fittings etc so i was just in there to give a general idea of the cost involved to replace. I am not doing a PIR but like i say just...

Started on a rather large PIR this afternoon and have noticed the following so for:
1. Smoke alarm positioned over stairs
2. Some downlights completely covered in loft insulation
3. 13A socket in loft on lighting circuit
Was thinking about coding them 4, 2, 2
Your thoughts?
Just done a PIR today on a first floor flat. Just want a few opinions on codings for a couple of issues i noted.
Firstly, none of the sockets have 30mA RCD protection. Being a first floor flat the sockets are very unlikely to be used to feed equipment outside so the requirements of the 16th...
Hello guys,
I am thinking about buying a van for myself. It needs to be very fuel efficient, low tax and insurance and a well built quality van. What do you think is the WV Cady 1.9TDI like that? Or any other suggestions?

Hello
Can I please have your opinions on cheap clamp meters ie Philex 83007R or similar. What do you think is the most reliable under say £50 , or should I wait and save. Only padding about on domestic work.
