    Where am I going wrong with conservatory lights?

    Just removed some tired and grotty looking spotlights which were fitted to the top beam of my conservatory. Bro in law removed them first before I could look at how they were wired in but thought nothing of it cos its simple right? ? Have bought 4 hanging vintage style pendants to replace them...

    EICR weird Hob install - wrong and safe, or wrong and run away screaming?

    Second post on an EICR I did today (always a good sign!) 70s flat with earthed conduit and singles. 6mm runs from the CU to presumably where an old cooker switch was - at some point that was tiled over somehow and is now inaccessible - what emerges below the worktop is 2 x 2.5 Twin and Earth -...

    What's wrong with this picture?

    Just got called to quote for a new job, and as part of doing so I asked to check the board. This is a Niglon board, fitted by a sparky about 18 months ago. Answers on a postcard if you can spot an issue!! Bonus point if you can guess the four letter word I muttered.

    When electrics go wrong!!!

    Just setting up a new sticky thread that unlike the dodgy trade pics thread is focused on showing the result of failures in electrical installations IE - damage caused which may be due to various reasons. Please do not post pics of poor workmanship if there is nothing else to show like the...

    Would you get a rewire done if there's nothing wrong with the old stuff?

    Hi all. Just bought a house and it needs some attention to the electrics in terms of layout - loads of rooms that need 2 way switches don't have them, weird lighting set ups where one switch will do an inside and outside light at the same time etc, mostly trivial stuff. I had planned to get a...

    Is that wrong?

    I went to a property recently to replace a faulty wired smoke alarm, the consumer unit has recently been changed but I couldn't get the door to the mcbs to open. So I removed the cover to switch off the relevant one, whist inside I took some pictures of things I thought seemed wrong. Photo's...

    UK Hob\Oven wired wrong way round?

    Hi, I'm thinking of replacing my 8 gang switches which are all 20Amp DP to newer MK ones. One of them is marked "Hob" but actually controls the oven. The switch on the other side of the kitchen near the Hob and cooker actually controls the Hob. I think this is a 45Amp style switch. This is how...

    Electric shower fitted on the wrong end of bath.

    Hi all, Recently did an Eicr. I failed it due to shower being fitted on the opp side to the taps. I was lead to belive it was a C2 fault. Unable to find anything in the regs. Building or 18th. Its a rented property with a tight arse landlord who's asked his mates and come to the...

    Is my light switch wiring wrong?

    Probably an easy answer but I need to clarify. I have a 2 hand switch with 3 wires. All red wires, no neutral. One will be the common which will go into L on the new switch and the other 2 will go into L1 and L3 (that's the only connections with terminals) . Lights are not working so what could...

    What Did I do Wrong.

    Question for trainees only. No qualified sparks to post answers. o_O. OK. so some time ago, I picked up a Sangamo Analogue Ammeter A.C/D.C. (manufactured 1963) from a car boot for £2. Been lying around for a bit. Thought I's see how it performed. So.. 12V PSU +ve to 1 end if a 1.2 ohm 1/2 watt...

    Downlights wiring...it's not right (standard but is it wrong?

    While I'm not adverse to playing about with different configurations on how to connect up downlights in a room, subject to access, cable lengths, work/time involved, etc.... it does amaze me sometime when I try to figure out how others have done it. So was at a friends house the other day and...

    Something seriously wrong with my ionizer

    So I've recently purchased an ionizer from Walmart... going to withhold the name for now. Since I started using it I've experienced many strange electrical phenomena. I've done a ton of troubleshooting, and narrowed it down to the device itself. I was tempted to try a different wall wart, but...

    wrong wiring question

    Hi All, I'm new here. I searched for existing answers to this question but did not find an answer. I was doing some sound-proofing DIY in a one room at home and pulled-in some cable to replace old 1960's cable. Now that I've sealed all the walls and floor and turned my attention to wiring in the...

    Wrong type of RCD is it even part of EICR?

    I have noted more and more items ask for a type A RCD rather than type AC, with electric car charging units it is often even better than type A required, but with car charging units it is hard wired so clearly should be part of the inspection and looking up one make of charger unit not really a...

    What's wrong with this circuit breaker box?

    It might be easier to list the few things right with it. I have noted what appears to be burnt or frayed hot wires. I have only seen the pictures provided but this looks less than professional to me. The house is 1957 construction and may have aluminum wiring (probable cause for the burnt...
