Hiya,
Our neighbour runs an unarmoured cable on our land where I park my car, buried about an inch under the soil. This is used to power their garage and EV charger.
They have said that they have attempted to comply with BS7671 as it is in a green plastic pipe that looks like a hosepipe. We...

Hi all, im aware of the test needed to be done when trying to find out if a metallic object is an extraneous conductive part but for example, if you had a copper water supply system in a house that is fed with a plastic incomer pipe out the ground you will always receive a low resistance reading...
I'm looking for something that can replace this part for my electric fireplace:
Getting the exact part is rather expensive, so I'm hoping someone can suggest a cheaper alternative that will work.
Has part F now been modified with regards to notifications when installing extractor fans? It’s been many years since I’ve installed one but have heard that you must have attended a recognised training course, have a calibrated anemometer and complete a specific form for building control with...

Hi,
The `power went out throughout the house this afternoon but only to the sockets, the lighting circuits are all fine. I went to the consumer unit expecting to reset a circuit breaker but nothing had tripped.
I have attached a pic of the consumer unit. Using a current detector pen I can...
I got my hands on an old floor standing fan and started looking to rewire it.
I found this part, I think it's a resistor, but was hoping someone could confirm for me, and maybe suggest a replacement, this thing is kind of crusty, looks like it was covered with layers of something in the past...
Hi,
Wickes have just finished installing a pump under the bath. The socket is next to the pump but it is unaccessible due to a sealed bath panel. I’m not sure if this is ok. We were given no certificate on completio but I’m not sure if it is needed or not. The supply comes from the airing...
Hi all,
I am going to fully rewire my house. What do I HAVE to do once I’ve rewired it? I am an approved spark, but do not have part P. Do I need to get an EICR by an a registered company or?
So to try & keep confidentiality, a broad question without specifics;
A manufactured bed, mechanically operated by electrically powered motors. The metal bed frame would raise and lower the bed, and also be able to raise/lower the head of the bed and the foot of the bed. Would the metal bed...

ASSIGNMENTS PART TWO

how extensive should an EICR be following minor water damage to a small part of a domestic installation, water came through one pendant in upstairs bedroom , no other circuits affected?
Hello, I understand that from the 15th of June testing and commissioning of vents and fans is now compulsory and that also since last year any works regarding fans needs to be notified to building control under part F.
I assume that this can be done as a NAPIT contractor registered with EAS...
Hi all,
New to the forum! Quick background on me: I have a degree in electrical engineering and spent many years working with qualified electricians on house re-wires. I never qualified as an electrician as I went down the IT route but I can rewire a house with no concerns - not that I would as...
