I just want to get some advice before getting an electrician in, as we don't know any so want to be able to know if we can trust what he's saying.

The main CU feeds a 2nd CU upstairs in the 2nd bedroom.
The Setup is...
Got to remove a socket and connect it out in a house, the room is being converted to a bathroom so putting it under floor in Wagos , the circuit is fed from a BS3036. Will I need to protect the circuit with a RCD as I have carried out a alteration to the circuit or not.
I have had a customer phone me and he has intends to install some PV panels in the next few weeks. He then intends to remove them, rebuild the house and reinstate the panels.
No problem there.
He then asked about the tariff he can expect. Will he drop to the new build tariff or stay on...
Hi Folks,
I have a working, but redundant, shaver socket mounted on a bathroom studwall that I need to remove. That shaver socket is wired into the lighting ring and when removed, each side of the ring will need to be joined back together. That joint/connection will be inside the stud wall...

Just wondering what peoples thoughts are on completely removing the back of dry lining boxes to be able to accomodate cable better when it's a tight squeeze and too many cables (for example if you've a three gang switch plate all fed separately from the switch - so that's six cables to...

I have a set of storage heaters using an economy seven style time clock . This clock is in the attic and if there is a power cut or the lights have to be switched off this clock stops. I then have to crawl into the space where the roof slopes down and reset the time. We wish to get rid of...

We have a machine, connected to a piped-feed system - a large one - and some piping mods have been carried out by a contractor.
We came to start up the...
Hi all,

Haven't had the pleasure of working with panel heaters, are they relatively easy to install?
What I'm more concerned about is removing old storage heaters, is there anything tricky involved with this or do you just disconnect and whack them out? Any help would be appreciated.
