    Really need to chat with one of the Scottish members who know their Parts B & F for Scotland

    And here's why.... My long suffering Aussie owns a place in Scotland that's been rented out ever since she foolishly decided to move down with me years ago. It's a beautiful place which is mostly why she/we've kept it on, part of a conversion of dwellings from an originally much larger complex...

    Solar Panels Is Panel Angle REALLY That Big of a Deal? (My Installers Were Pretty Relaxed...)

    So we just had our solar panels installed last week – super exciting! 🎉 But one thing that's been bugging me is the panel angle. The installers weren't super precise, saying it would only make a small difference... but now I'm second-guessing everything! I've been doing some research on the...

    EV chargers installed direct to meter box - is it really wrong?

    On another forum for general EV chat this question comes up all the time. It's very common to install a charger taking the supply direct from the meter box via a secondary box and suitable protection installed within the meter box. Reasons to do this appear quite sensible: 1) Often far easier...

    Did it really need an earth?

    I was away at the weekend & the electrician came round to fix something. While there he decided to condemn an outdoor electrical light as he said it didn't have an earth. My wife didn't know better so she agreed to pay him. It is a lamp post 8ft tall made entirely of aluminium with a single...

    Emergency Lights are starting to really annoy me

    A slight rant. Having just finished a spate of commercial EICRs I really can't understand why we tolerate these wretched things: 1 - I now expect there not to be a continuous CPC on emergency lighting circuits. The odds of someone losing the fight with the spring-loaded twin-terminal and...

    Electrician says I need a new consumer unit to pass inspection - do I really?

Anyone have any suggestions other than finding a second hand...

    Really nice carbide hole cutter

    Bought one of these from Rexel, not cheap at £38 but damn does it cut a clean hole. Had about a dozen panel push buttons and indicators to put in and this is just the job. Really loved how snug the seal on the push buttons was, absolute perfection. If you want a good job get the right...
