Hi, I'm currently looking at moving a socket so it's under the worktop for a washing machine in the kitchen, however I need to be able to switch off the socket. Am I right in thinking that I need to fit a fused spur above the worktop in order to do this?
Just needed some advice because a lot of people say it is a scam and i have already studied some of the course from their material. Would be nice to know if there are any other students with them too and know their experiences

Just been to a customer's who has just had LVT type flooring installed on top of under floor heating.
Unfortunately now whenever its turned on, it trips the RCD. So seems the floor fitters have damaged an element.
Its in 2 sections, one reads 50ohm, the other is open circuit. So defiantly...
I am trying to move into a house that has been vacant for 2 years. I called the power company because the power isn't working. They sent someone out, but said the meter is good and we need to hire a electrician.
The electrician came out and used a device to see if power was coming out. It...
Hi, am installing under cabinet lights as part of new kitchen installation. Would prefer to use 230V light fittings, but one,s I,ve purchased only allow one cable into them, so will need junction boxes. The junction boxes will be on top of the cabinets and lights on the bottom of the cabinets...

What should have been a simple hour's job of fitting a 3ph CT consumption meter.....

clutch on my van is finally succumbing to lack of friction, as in, slipping. it's only done 220,000 miles. can i claim under manufacturers warranty? ??
(Rented property) The current bonding under the sink is 6mm - the electrician said it has to be min 10mm in order to pass the EICR.
Is this correct? It looks like the wire has been there since the house was built and electrician said he would have to take a new one from the fuse box and somehow...
Hi, getting a new kitchen installed and I will be installing under cabinet lighting on wall units. Is 240V appropriate for this or is low voltage lighting required ? Thanks
Since my father-in-law passed away recently we've been renting out his house and had Gas Safety and EICT testing done. There are no 'portable appliances' as such, but an oven and hob and extractor hood are provided in the kitchen plus an electric shower and fan in the ensuite plus an immersion...
Hi, I am new to the forum, and a DIYer. For a couple of weeks our cooker circuit has been tripping the RCD in the Breaker dedicated to this circuit at the CU. The cooker is a Falcon 90cm induction hob unit, it is installed with a fused dipole isolation switch. The tripping has always happened...

Afternoon guys quick question

Hi,
I recently decided to add some undercabinet lights to some kitchen cabinets and bought 240v robus undercabinet spotlights, but upon installation I found that they all flickered slightly - not noticeable from a distance but definitely noticeable close up, especially when doing something on...
I have just carried out an EICR.
Earthing is TT. A 4mm green/yellow conductor leaves the CU and disappears under the conservatory, I get 158Ω when I do a Ze test.
There is a 10mm that goes to both gas and water. ZS tests are around 40Ω 's on sockets/lights.
I started a similar thread some...
Hello I hope you are all well, can this fitting be used as an under cabinet light in a kitchen? I assume as its an LED fitting heat won't be an issue? Thanks Andi
