It’s been a challenging but rewarding journey, and I’m on track to be fully qualified by May/June 2025. Along the way, I’ve come to really appreciate the differences between the...

    Why is the electrical UNANSWERED THREADS link full of plumbing posts?

    If I click on the "Please help the forum out by replying to UNANSWERED THREADS by clicking here.", for the last couple of days it is infested with lots of plumbing and tiling posts, so much so that it's hard to spot unanswered electrical ones! The link used to be just electrical unanswered posts.

    Plumbing earth bonding

    Disclaimer: I'm not going to attempt this job myself, I want a professional to do this job properly since I consider it non-trivial and need it safe as poss. The reason I'm posting it in DIY is because I want to understand it properly. I believe our plumbing is not bonded/earthed. Quite clear...

    Plumbing Question - Shower not hot

    I know I'm cheating a bit but I'd put money on it that some of you guys know a bit about plumbing. Basically, the Shower doesn't get that hot. I don't think it has since the boiler( I'm not 100% this was when) was changed. But the Sink and everywhere else does. They paid to have a new shower...

    Electrical... electronics... plumbing?

    In my first job from school I was eventually worked out as computers took over. Recent adverts (Google smart thermostats) had me wondering just where this device installation fits? Wifi. Electrical. Plumbing connections. Is this just an example of 'modern' household kit getting smarter...

    Electrical Wiring vs Plumbing

    Thanks to everyone for help with my last question - here's the next one!! Having our 1930's flat re-wired and re-plumbed. Floors and ceilings are concrete - so wires and pipes are all being chased into walls! Radiators are currently set very high and have asked for them to be lowered to a...

    Seems like a dumb question, but is a socket underneath plumbing allowed now?

    I just moved into rented accommodation and found this (see pic) under my sink. When I was last in the electrical business 30 or so years ago it would have been classed as a horror show waiting to happen, thoughts?

    I have an economy 7 boiler which has two temperature controlled heating elements. After 15 years they were replaced as they had started to heat inefficiently. Unsurprisingly they were covered in limescale. I replaced them with new elements. The off peak element was placed on just over 50...
