Hi All, Just a quick question, my decorator wants to put his washing machine in his bathroom as it is the only place they can put it where it can be plumbed in easily. It will sit under his boiler which is also in the bathroom and both will then have a cupboard built round them. He tells me...
According to John Whitfield's book, this is the basis for a bathroom being special locations. Under that premise then, if you'd seen my missus most every night my bedroom would be a special location too! Merry Christmas all, have a cracker (pun intended)
I have power to a shed, would this be a notifiable still if all switches are run o my in the shed and house. I have it in conduit fm from fcu in house to double socket 10m into the shed.
I always thought it was and always notify it's, but have been told it's not as there's no switch ect outside...
I normally stick to domestic wiring, but I have enquiry from a customer who has added stables in their back garden. I think I should treat this as a special location i.e. agricultural. When I referred to the 17th edition its says no to TNCS systems. That puts me in a spot of difficulty as the...
So bit random but been to look at a new shop that has tanks with those fish that you stick your feet in, and they eat the dead skin off them.
The tanks require power and come with a short length of flex (approx 600mm) and plug top. In my opinion these tanks would be classed as a bath tub as a...
What page(s) in the big green book would I look at, for specific zones/regs for Hob's/Cookers for switches & socket distances from the appliance? Looked through the special location chapter but can't see much to do with kitchens at all if im honest, nothing under Hobs/Cookers/Kitchen/zone page...
Sorry to go over old ground but just need clarification. I have extended the ring main in a kitchen and customer now wants an outdoor socket. Is this now notifiable?
I believe not as ammended rules state notifiable for new DB, new circuit, work in special location?
Thanks.

Are pendant lights allowed in a kitchen? My parents have moved into a 4 year old bungalow with 2 pendant lights in the kitchen. Seeing as the kitchen is now a special location, is this allowed? Silly question I know but can't find anything in the BGB or Part Pee...
I qualifed last year and have 2330, 17th edition, 2392, 2377 and almost finished nvq 3. I rewired a kitchen last month, adding new circuit for hob and cooker, lights etc. I tested and signed off the job. I spoke to another spark about the job yesterday and he said unless I was part p I couldnt...
Hi guys, at a job tomorrow and looking through the spec. Bathroom is to have 12v SELV downlighters (not sure why). What cable is best to use for the run between trannies and lights, i.e. the 12v parts of the circuit? It's been a while since I've had to deal with these, as I don't recommend...
ALDI - Sunday Special Buys 5th August 2012
Just a heads up...
In on Sunday. I bought one last year to keep my 10.8V drills and bits ect in. Works really well and will be buying another on Sunday.
Sorry to be a pain gents - just filling my brain matter with info.
Are there any special requirments when testing and inspecting RCBOs?
Are they vulnerable to testing in any way? or any special requirements needed when testing?
Thanks All
How does this sit with the more recently experienced among our number.
Prior to accreditation I had the bathroom refitted and electrical work carried out as part of the refit. The electrician subbied by the fitting team used a spare way in the consumer unit protected by the RCD i.e. moved the...
