Hiya. Anyone seen a suppliers cut out like the one in the picture and do they know if it's of concern? It's got hardened black residue thats dripped down from where the cables go in. I can't decide whether it's hole filler or the actual casing. Some of the 'residue' is fresh then below it it's...
Good evening
Looking for feedback,
Appreciate any feedback you have.
I've been in the electrical game for 20 years plus and one of my biggest hates is searching for materials and prices.

Evening..
So, I'm working on a house that has been split into 2 flats and have been asked to do a board change in the downstairs flat. The earthing arrangement is TNS but I noticed that there is an earth connected between the neutral of the cut out and the earth terminal block to create a PME...

Where can I buy a proper car jack other than the bloody useless toys on ebay, you know the ones they are about as big as a roller skate and just about as much use, these things of which I have 2, one failed dramatically going down like a shot rat, the other has a mindless want to invert itself...
Hello everyone,
I know this has come upquite often, I have gone back through the many threads relating tothis topic. The reason for wanting to start my own thread is afterhaving read those many threads, in the end, a definitive answereither way, is hard to find.

Just re-negotiated the mother in laws broadband deal with plusnet, she was paying £38.49 for an all all in unlimited broadband, line rental and calls package (they live in a rural property so market one, most expensive tariff!)
Got it down to £27.50 all in that was worth 20 mins on the net and...
I thought it might be good to run a thread on the inevitable changes within the supply chain as the industry contracts. Some distributors are going to bite the dust so here's a space to share news. Hopefully none of us will end up paying in advance for kit and finding out a supplier has gone...
Hi all, just a quick note about EpicAir (here) who have given me really good advice & service on a recent job. Prices were excellent, well below others I'd looked at. I'm not affiliated at all, just a satisfied customer spreading the word...

when I got there I was surprised to find supply brought in via underground cable wired into a bs88/60A supply...
hi,
Popped round in laws house last night as they were having power loss issues. As I pulled up noticed the utility guys on their road hard at work sorting it out. So out of curiosity I thought I'd check the voltage readings as they had power but you could tell the voltage was low.
I was...
Having been in a discussion that ended with a mention of suppliers charges, it reminded me to review ours with a view to changing. Been looking at iSupply energy as their prices seem very good. Anyone had any dealings with them? Thought this would be the perfect place to ask!

won't mention any names, and it's probably a genuine mistake but..... wiska ad. box 607/5 around £6 + VAT. i have an invoice with a unit price of £39. some mark-up, eh?
I am attending a job tomorrow in which a landlord needs to have the supply turned back on by the Energy supplier. They have requested a certificate from an electrician to ensure (customers words) the installation is safe.
