    I have a two metre length of 2.5mm T&E running from the loft to a spur under galvanised metal capping (installed during building). Its needs replacing with some new cable ( long story). As the cable is buggered, I decided to see how much force it would take to budge it, and it appears to be...

    Cable pulling question 25mm 4C in 63/50mm duct

    When putting in some duct for fibre broadband we also put in a few lengths of 63/50mm twinwall duct "just in case" we needed that, as we knew of a few possible use. At the time the biggest load was expected to be of the order of 32A so 4C 6mm ample and no size issue. However we are now...

    Pulling Twin and Earth through flexi conduit

    Tried pulling some 2.5mm T&E through 10m of 20mm flexi conduit the other day with a draw tape, although I did succeed it was a bit of a wrestle. Does anyone have any clever tricks to make this easier? Perrhaps some cable lube or some other smart idea. Thanks in advance.

    Pulling a main fuse

    Yes that old chestnut... It seems to invoke rage in some people but thats not what this is about... My question is has anyone tried to be sneaky about getting a DNO out? I find the people on the phone are jobsworths but the actual guys that come out are as good as gold (WPD) at over £200 to...

    Pulling cutout fuses

    We see a lot of threads asking what to do about isolation for a CU replacement with lots of talk of the seal fairy and just getting on and pulling the fuse.
