Went to a mates new bungalow as he wanted me to cast an eye on his electrics to make sure all is ok, (didnt want a EICR). It is generally in a good condition, correct earthing, correct selection of MCBs, RCD etc but the lighting has no CPC. I explained the options but he wants me to re-wire...
Hi,
Quick question,
I am busy doing a rewire on a property, really old electrics, old rewireable fuses, NO earth. Main earth cable was enclosed around a screw on the cut out fuse.

From what i have read planning permission in a conservation area is not needed if the PV can't be seen from the highway.
I have a situation where a client wants PV in a conservation area which can't be seen from the drive or anywhere near the property, but i have noticed that glimpses of it...
As the title suggests this may seem a little strange.
I recently completed the city and guilds 2377 one day course which has an exam at the end and my employer now expects me to carry out the testing.
This is the stupid part. on the course i was told that if the item fails, not only should i...
I have come accross an installation (which is pretty scary generally) and I am easing the customer towards a re-wire, by someone other than me (I'll probably be pulling wire though). He has two mains coming in, one very old and meter is fed by single insulated cables (looks like 25 aint...
