    Website build and email address

    Could anyone advise me or recommend somewhere that can build me a website and somewhere I can sort out my own email address please. I'd like to be able to send emails to people with a letterhead of the company on it. I haven't a clue how to sort any of the above out!! Cheers in advance.

    Meter Tails hanging loose.

    Been to a job to see this. I'm guessing that when the old CU was replaced the sparks didn't bother to remove the old meter tails - they were live and just had a couple of wraps of insulation tape round them.

    Do I need to be registered with a governing body?

    I'm pretty sure I've checked this a while back with the NICEIC but I'd like to double check. I'm carrying out EICR work on a few properties , and am currently in a debate with a lady who says I should be registered with a governing body to carry out the testing. I said she's talking rubbish. As...

    Small power

    I have been given the preliminary design of the small power system for an industrial complex. The design states that a switched fused connection unit should be on its own circuit , would this not normally be part of the ring main? Has anybody seen this before ?

    Freaky golf accident

    So after a hard day at work today I decided to go to the local golf practice range, to whack a few balls and work on my golf swing. After purchasing a hundred balls and filling the hopper ( yes it's a posh range with automatic tee's ). I sat down on the bench behind the bay I'd chosen to swap...

    Gaps In Old Cus/fuseboxes Etc, Fire-retardant Silicone?

    This is fresh off the top of my head, but what do you guys think about having some fire-retardant silicone to seal gaps in old CUs to contain a potential fire within the CU (at least for longer)? A good idea, or just going to leave fingers pointing my way if there ever is a problem with it...

    The problem with learning by wrote and working without calculation

    Firstly I just want to say that working from tables and on site guides can be great for convenience, and this is good. But so often the very presence of these easy and convenient rules of thumb to comply with regulation may prevent a person from developing a deep technical understanding of why...

    Question Regarding Adding Wiring To Lighting Circuit / Going Down A Cable Size

    I've got a lighting circuit wired in 1.5mm T&E on a 6 amp MCB. There are some lights that I'd like to add on to this circuit, controlled by an existing switch. Due to the position of these lights, the most aesthetically pleasing way to install these lights would be to run cable to the new lights...

    Zs rcd

    Just having a play with my tester at home - when I did a Zs rcd on my lighting circuit it tripped the rcd still. Is this a common issue? Happened on both lighting circuits which are on different rcds. New build so electrics are in pretty good nick.
