    I live in a mid terraced house (ex council)which dates from around 1950. The supply is a TN-S with no loop out (I maybe looped off one of neighbours I don’t know) The supply cables seem to lie along the bottom of floor void at front of property, with bricks having been removed/left out. This...

    PVC vs Galvanised Conduit: Current Capacity Enclosed In a Thermally Insulating Wall?

    Is there any advantage from the perspective of current ratings/de-ratings of using galvanised round conduit over same size PVC conduit? With both to be chased/buried in brick wall and plastered over? If so, where is this specified? Cheers

    Hi guys. Just after some advice on what you think the best way of getting swa through a cavity wall. Do you use just use T&E, conduit and wiska boxes before transfering to swa or just go straight through with the SWA? What do you think the tidiest method is? I only ask as I'm running power to...

    Knock a hole in A Sub-Floor Wall?

    A very daft question from someone who doesn’t crawl around under houses for a living. Our shower pump has failed and needs replacing, it’s buried underneath the floor and rather than lifting Lino/plywood and/or laminate flooring I’ve lifted the carpet in the spare room and cut a hatch in the...

    Cable out of the wall and back in

    Could I run a low voltage cable that comes out of a stud wall and back in again 50mm later to get past a stud. I don't have access above that part of the wall. It would be covered by a cabinet but of course if seen it would look very dodgy. I was thinking of labelling the cable at the very...

    Wall switching method for 12v adapter powered devices?

    I'm not a pro, just looking at strategy for a village hall install. In the bar area, there are a number of devices which need to be switched on in one go. Some LED lights, a video monitor, wifi externder, other low power stuff. They are the type with the plug in 13A to low volt wall adapters...

    Advice on wire sticking out of wall please?

    We are changing a bathroom cabinet and the old one had a cable on it which is coming out of the wall, I'm assuming it is for a light fitting in the cabinet (which it didn't have). Our new cabinet doesn't require any power so I'd like to get rid of the wire. The new cabinet will need to go on...
