I'm starting a new project on Monday, new dental practice conversion from a shop.
Nothing new here, customer doesn't know what electrical heating they're having, doesn't know what electric hot water they're having, hasn't decided outlet locations, switch locations or just about any aspect of...
Hi guys,
newbie here, please go easy!
I've got a query regarding an existing installation on a pumping station pump issue, which I'm hoping you can help with.
Our house is off mains sewage, and as such we have a sewage treatment plant, and a pumping station. In the pumping station we have 2...
Here is my proposed layout for my open plan studio. I'm going for recessed 6" LED smart lights throughout, with the exception of three pendants over the 6' island.
Lights are 3' from walls, except in the kitchen where it is 2' ( ie. 12" from upper cabinetry).
They are spaced roughly 5-6' from...

I am in the process of quoting for a full house rewire in a 1930’s 2 up 2 down property, currently unoccupied.
Having been in the loft and generally looking round the property it is obvious no work has been done in a long time (lath and plaster ceilings, VIR cable etc).
I have completed the...
A very simple question for you learned people out there. Has anyone installed/used infrared heating panels, and if so, how do you rate them?
I am currently looking at panels from Surya and Herschel. They are quite expensive and we need quite a few for the project so I would be very grateful for...
I recently came across some legacy lights which were taken off an un-fused spur which is part of a dual plug socket box. I have been unable to find a combination dual box that has one plug socket + one fused spur connection which seems the easiest way of fixing this non-compliance. I would be...
Many years ago I came across 'soft' cable.
Rubber (perhaps) rather than plastic.
Folded up neatly (no kinks).
Full 13A capacity.
Just the opposite of black and decker orange cable.
My extension lead is more than tatty and needs replacing.
Visits to 3 electrical outlets have resulted in...
I am refurbishing a house i bought last year & looking for thoughts on whether the following existing wiring is right/ safe. I dont think it is but would like to check as it looks like spurs of a spur to me. The CU was just replaced by local electrical contractor & all circuits are he says...
They got this new tester behind the counter at CEF, its a fancy looking MFT that says it does power quality analysis. Heres a link to the blurb.
So I haven't had any experience with TIS gear, to me the red and black makes it look a bit UniT MeterM8 ish but close up the thing looks quite good...

I want 5 mains lights fitted in the garden (by Part P sparkie). He said Wiska Boxes have to be fitted before each light - that is, SWA into Wiska, SWA out of Wiska to new light. I can't see the point in this. If SWA's are connecting into the light, why does it need a Wiska box? I don't want...

I have just enrolled on a 2394 course for my second attempt as the last try under 2391 knocked my confidence and I didn't ever have enough spare cash to try until now. Also not able to afford a third try with my mates salary barely covering child support. I feel like a lamb getting ready for...
