Hi there
I need your opinion on this one, I need to fix mat 18sqm (200w). Client instead of one mat bought 2 mats (12sqm)+(6sqm) one thermostat . Went through the manual of under floor heating so 12sqm (2400w) + 6sqm(1200w) total 3600w.
Now my question, how do I spur nearly 16amps, standard spur...
Had a floorboard up recently following a water leak. While there, thought I would connect in a stair light, which previously was switched separately to the landing one. Discovered a previously unknown junction box - not normally maintainable, but moving past that ... - wiring very neat...
Ive got an old T5 (or4?) fitting to change to LED, but its built into the kitchen cabinet between two shelves of glass.
Is there any like this: 13W LED Slimline Under Cabinet Link Light 4000K - https://www.cef.co.uk/catalogue/products/4228924-13-watt-slimline-led-linklight but only 18mm wide...
Wanting to add 2 strips of led lights down each side of underneath of the stairs,
I have a socket I can spur off, into a fused switch, been looking at angle profile, so light is better, so ideally I need a LED driver, some led strips, and a way to connect them, happy to wire/solder something...
I dropped my multi-tool onto a 10/3 wire yesterday when removing some rotted flooring in a mobile home. I could see a bit of copper so I don't feel comfortable just wrapping it in electrical tape and calling it good.
There is a crawl space underneath the mobile home where I can have the wire...
Hi All

Hi,
Looking for more advice please. My electrician has spurred off a cable under flooring using what seem to be wago type connectors (push in, no screws). They are not enclosed in a box and the flooring is boarded and will be tiled over when refurbished. Is this acceptable by current regs or...
I have a two metre length of 2.5mm T&E running from the loft to a spur under galvanised metal capping (installed during building). Its needs replacing with some new cable ( long story).
As the cable is buggered, I decided to see how much force it would take to budge it, and it appears to be...
I just had a water leak and had to take the side of the bath off and delighted to also find a few cables going into the floor and shoddily into the wall. I can only guess they are for the house alarm, which is located below in the garage. I'm thinking of hiring someone to come and disable the...
Hi.
I was asked to work on a loft conversion and a full refurbishment of a 5 bed house.
The contractor said that as he is doing a loft conversion so it's defined as a new build.(is he correct?)
The income tail and meter are under wooden stairs which will be the main escape route.
As far as I...
We’ve removed a strip light from the kitchen and discovered loads of cable behind it. Loops from different plugs and switches so it can’t be removed. It was easily hidden in the big light but ive bought a light with 3 spots on a pole and the rose bit is pretty shallow. the wires can’t be pushed...

I've been asked to provide hot water in a small kitchen, no room for a storage tank, any recommendations on under sink heaters? The largest demand will be a pot wash sink so it needs to be hot and reasonably quick.

I can't find my current ISITEE ACoP (5th edition) but I need to be quite certain about the position on unsleeved 13A plug pins. I think I know the answer but I am being challenged on it. Can anyone quote directly?
Hi. We had some building work done to the house a few years ago and we got an armored 10mm 3 core under the house, that comes from the consumer unit on one side of the house, all the way to the other side of the house. This cable is not connected to something and I am thinking about getting an...

I am confused about battery testers for house hold batteries, AA, AAA, 9V, etc.
Recently my smoke alarms started chirping so I changed the 9V batteries and no chirping.
However, the replaced batteries tested good using GBT-500a battery tester.
I was told that batteries need to be tested under...
