I'm doing more and more DIY (domestic bits). Recently swapped an old pendant for some downlights in the kitchen. Basic stuff really.
My Dad's asked me can I do the same in his place after seeing the new lights. Realised that although I know how to do it quite easily and done a fair few lighting...
Hi all, I wonder if you can help me out please.
I have been approached by family friend to upgrade their CU in a home they are looking to sell. I am a registered Electrician, but do not hold my Part P qualification as the heavy majority of my work is done on Commercial works.
I am fully...

Hi all
I am looking to install a 12v system on my roof terrace to power a few LED lights.
I was going to connect a 12v transformer into an existing FCU inside the property, and then run a 12v circuit from this to power the lights on the roof terrace. However, I understand that this is Part P...
I guess this might seem like an odd question, but what do the Part P notifications actually do?
That is, beyond the goal of stopping dodgy work by folk with little or no electrical knowledge, do building control use them for anything? Can you use them to check on past work on a property you are...

Looking to a join a scheme and was wondering if anyone here was a member with Blue Flame? Annual membership of £295 dropping to £195 after 3 years. Or if anyone could recommend any other cheap schemes now that stroma are no longer taking applicants.
I know this question has been asked in the past but not for some time so I'm looking for the cheapest in 2020? Stroma where by far the cheapest but have now merged with napit.
It appears napit and niceic are both similar prices.
Are these the cheapest or has anyone else out there found a better...
Anyone successfully work mainly for agents with part p with stoma or the like or are they all still stuck in the nic past? Only asking as I've just phoned nic to join and the attitude of the woman on the phone is a joke, as if shes doing me a favour so I'd rather go elsewhere but if peoples...

Hi guys,
Just wondering if I can pick some brains. I am looking at getting part pee registered again. I was registered but lost it as I took work on with a company and didn’t have any work of my own to show and as I was working for company full time and didn’t see the need to renew. I am now...

an electrician has installed a spur fuse(?) as part of a bathroom under floor heating installation. They removed a redundant plug socket just outside the bathroom and re-used it to instal the spur fuse. Several days later I noticed it wasn’t straight so thought I’ll straighten it when I come to...
