Hi
Have quoted for multiple ensuites and bathroom additions for an old customer. I did include in my quotation that any coring or ducting for extraction fans to be undertaken by the builder - so I am covered.
However, the builder is a mate, and I'd like to help where I can.
There is one small...
Hi all, new member here.
Re doing my bathroom in a new flat and want to move a fused switch connection which powered a rubbish heater fan (mounted high on the wall), to lower down so I can use it to power an electric towel radiator. Basically what's the correct way to extend the wire about 3-4...
Hi all
New build house

In Britain we mount our outlets with the earth socket at the top. The reason being that anything conductive which might fall between the socket and the plug would probably make contact with the earth pin first ... etc.
American sockets used to be mounted the same way, and I had assumed for the...

Just had a new kitchen installed. The new cooker and hob didn't come with any cable. The hob is rated at 6Kw and the single oven at 2.2Kw. The circuit is a 32A mcb, 6mm t&e to a ccu and then 6mm down to the connection unit.
MI says to use H05V2V2-F T min 90C. Is this Butyl? I was going to...
I am preparing the way for a local electrician to connect up a water filled electric towel rail 300w from an RCBO in the CU by installing some conduit within my internal wall cavity. He hasn't been around to look at the job yet, so my question is:
Does the cable outlet position have to be above...
I reside in Northampton, my Sister in law resides in Bath, some 120 odd miles away, anyway She wanted an extra socket in her hall way below the CU.
I had a look at some local Contractors who would be able to help, simple job you would think, anyway She contacted this local bloke , he turned up...
hi
is there a steel terminal box that caters for wires coming from inside to outside, all the terminal boxes i've found don't have holes at the back. i was just wondering what would be the correct way to feed a wire through the wall into a terminal box (then through conduit to a camera outside)...
Hi

The double oven was on its own wire to the fuse box, 40amp circuit breaker with appropriate cable. Both the new ovens say they are 16amp. Can i use a junction box on the main wire to goto 2 separate switches for each...

Hi,
I live in a Bungalow and on one of the walls in a room there is a single plug socket which is not used.
Can I turn this socket into a switch and then add a socket to the same wiring up in the loft, so that the switch turns the socket on/off?
Thanks

Hi,
I have purchased a Kewtech KT1780 Voltage Tester. But I can't get it to do a double pole test.
The instructions show the user inserting the probes into the wall outlet.

Is it because the probes are too small?
