    Simple question regarding Non RCD protected SWA run from CU

    As the title suggests, I'm running a submain. The space in which I have to work at the supply end is extremely limited though. The CU at the supply where the SWA needs to terminate is mounted on the inside of the external wall in the porch. Ideally, I'd just run the SWA through the wall and up...

    Advice on Shower Repair

    Hi All, I was hoping you'd be able to advise whether or not this is as simple a repair as it looks to me?
