The planned cable run includes running across the ceiling of the plant room (2/3...
I'm quoting for a CU change, where I'll be replacing the meter tails (because of length). I will have to run the tails on the surface (less than 3m) on the outside wall. For a neater appearance and because the wall is pebble dashed, I was considering putting the tails (2 x 25mm) in 32mm conduit...

For the sake of clarification from experienced Installers, I was just wondering if it is possible a rewire of a 4 bedroom house can be done in one week or more, by just one loan electrician. The Installation involves running all cables in PVC (surface) trunking and feeding every accessories...
As title, very good condition, only 5 months old and are as near as makes no difference brand new. All come with louvres but no tubes.
The fittings are of very high quality from Key Lighting (Model: Profile T8) and are sold new for £75.00 + VAT each. I'd be happy to take £20 each or £120ono for...
We are having a conservatory built and the electrics are part of the package. I was surprised to see the cables for the sockets being installed at floor level. The electrician explained that when the plaster board was fitted the wiring would be 50mm below the surface. Comments!
Hi
i have an old stone cottage. I need to do some surface re-wiring but I do not like plastic trunking. Could I use copper piping for the wires as I feel this would make a good feature. Would this be safe.?
