Hi guys,
I'm currently wiring up a 2 bed new build and have been asked to supply a TV point in each bedroom and 1 in the lounge. I haven't really done them before so I have a question. Do I need to install a splitter with a radial to each point or can I daisy chain the 3 points? Problem is...
Whats the most points you've found on one circuit? Currently doing an EICR at a restaurant/ function venue and found a lighting circuit with 46 points! Apart from a few E/Ls it's all 600x600 drop in's and ES downlights, low energy lamps now but originally would have been tungsten. 1.5's in...
Hi All,
We are looking into this and as 'petrolheads' (ironically) a chance to work with cars appeals but at a fundamental level we are trying to work out the economics. From our research we can claim back up to £500 from a government subsidy but the 'up to' part confuses us. How does this...

Morning All
this might seem like a strange question but we are re-wiring a lot of kitchens where the kitchens will be ripped out the day before we start works, but they would like us to isolate the Kitchen Ring and cooker circuit before its ripped out as some points are surface mounted on the...
In a refurb building in the corridors the current install is clicks (gregs) and switched fused spurs above a grided ceiling. Now the client wants a solid ceiling with no access points adjacent to clicks / spurs. Do if there were any future electrical issues it would mean access hatches.

Hello,
Can I ask people how they price for networking cabling(CAT6utp) in a domestic property? Does anyone price per point or per meter of cable?
It's for a new build. They'll be a couple of network cables and a couple of sky cables going to the living room, dining room and each of the 4...

I am not sure if this is the correct forum to...
