    DIY install of socket under floor

    Hi I have a CCTV system covering my property which has a little PVR box for recording. This works great but I am concerned that if I was burgled, they would probably steal the recorder box too. So I have lifted the carpet in one corner of the room, removed a section of 2 floor boards...

    It's probably already been mentioned but.....

    Any of you good people using the fein multi tool. I admit to being sceptical. Does any one use them and are they a viable alternative to having a comprehensive hand and power tool collection. Any thoughts ? Kind regards all

    Probably a stupid question.

    Why doesnt T&E cable have Reference Method E (perforated cable tray) listed in table 4D5 (page 340 green)? Although table 4D2A does and says it's multicore cable with or without a CPC? What's the difference between this cable and T&E? Thanks in advance.

    Some (probably) stupid questions about my house rewire

    Hi everyone (wave) Sorry if this is in the wrong section :crazy: I am currently having my house "done up" and the electrician has just told me he has finished the wiring and is requesting payment. Most of it looks OK (not that I would really know any different lol) but one of the girls I work...

    socket outlet 50mm from edge of hobb but 350 mm high?

    Is this permissable or could steam form on the socket face plate or on a cable plugged into the socket and run down to say the kettle or a toaster? I believe the regs recomend a min 300mm? The installation is split load and rcd protected. many thanks

The total run is...

    Multiple wires in MCB, what's the best way to record on PIR?

    Anyone have any advice on entering test results for multiple wires from the same MCB. It's a 32a MCB with a ring final and a further 3 wires stuffed into it, all of them radials. I'm not sure of the best way to express this on the cert without it looking a bit cluttered and probably all the more...

    Trouble finding main fuse!!!

    Just stated out and having installed a few CU's with success i went to a flat today and couldn't find the main fuse. Hoping to find it with the meter it wasn't there. This was next to the old fuse box under a panel. Any ideas??? No doubt you will but many of the old installs baffle me! Thanks
