I've inherited a job and one of the problems i've found is there's been a wall light fitted in Zone 1 above the bath. Checked the manufactures specification and it states its only suitable for zones 2 and 3. Picture attached.
I'd like to replace it but can't seem to find anyone that has wall...

Hello folks,
Had a call from a very elderly lady last week on account of her bathroom fan heater packing up. Upon inspection I found that the plastic pullcord switch mechanism had deformed and finally snapped through years of use....as they do. Designed to fail by my reckoning. OK,so just...
Hi Guys,

To be fitted on a tiled wall 2m from shower tray in an en suite.
Huge favour peeps. Client has lost the s-key for the c-tec 4zone alarm panel and need the generic code to re set it tomoz until we order another key.
any help? It can only be codes 1-4. I'm sure it was 2 3 1 2 but don't fancy messing about for 4 hours :)
Not sure if the picture uploaded. Assuming It did then can someone tell me if this is acceptable
and within the prescribed zones? A customer has a rang cooker powered from the cooker switch but
is having it replaced with a hob built into a granite worktop and an oven located on the adjacent...

Wiring ELV (24V max ELV 2 wire) boiler 'stat. Hidden cable. - Would you be too bothered if you needed to break "zones"?
(*Where it also makes it easier to provide segregation from Band 2, and otherwise would cost a lot more and put the Customer off?)
Hi good evening I was asked to preform a EICR on a reasonably new flat built in 1990. The testing and inspection went as planned apart from one glaring anomaly. The bathroom has a electric fan heater operated by a switch on the side. It is positioned above the rear of the bath with no shower...
I made a pic for customer who needs light above her Aga. Sorry too small to read, but basically the ex. halogen in the centre by the flue is overheating badly. Cables behind inside the chimney are more or less touching the flue, and are brown and crispy (I haven't not measured IR yet!).

Just inspected an RCBO fed radial feeding an IP65 rotary isolator that then feeds an integral bath & hoist system in a nursing home. The bath has integrated controls so the isolator is not going to be used as a switch. Stupidly they have managed to locate this well within zone 1, it is easily...

A bit flummoxed here guys, any advice gratefully accepted.
I need to sound the bells on a Gent 4 zone panel for class changes in a school. To do this, I must short out terminals C1 & C2 within the panel from a remote timer. The timer is an approx 70mtr cable run away. I have run a 1.5mm 2c swa...
Meter on internal garage wall, and CU just the other side internal to the house.
