Right ... Just been nudged to set this up by Paul.M and sounds a good idea following recent threads I've done in the Arms..

Rules....No Offensive material... edit if required before posting as this is the public arena.
Anything to do with the trade or in and around it ...H&S pic's welcome.



I've posted this a few times and this is at a mates house following a kitchen refirb several yrs ago. mg_smile:

I see no issue with T&E used for an appliance like a cooker. After all it is hardly movable, let alone subject to regular flexing.

Yes, you could use H07RN-F (with ferrules, of course) but often much bigger, more expensive, and hardly necessary.

.....and a low level outlet preventing a cable hanging directly from the cooker unit, in some cases.

Pulled the oven out last year to replace element and noticed it and hob were wired in what appeared to be 3093Y.

Bullseye ?

How not to repair a cable....

Another old service head recently converted to TN-C-S. Head isn't earthed and probably never has been.

Just how hot had this open backed batten holder been and for how many years.

@westward10
Oh the irony if you told us that was behind a heat detector you removed, that would have confused a few members ?

Behold this joy I found today in the communal meter cupboard of a 15-20 year old block of flats....





Locked door, but one which every flat has the key too since they need to read the meters (or insert credit keys in some cases)

On an unrelated note, the intercom/door control has never worked properly - wonder why?!

Bonus install of emergency luminaire in the stairwell - single insulated conductors visible behind, Clearly the cable was too short when they moved it off the wall for some non-obvious reason....

Customer wanted an additional socket fitted to the left of the existing. This is what I found:

Top of the class to anyone who figures out what the 1mm twin and earth is doing there!

All done now. Removed the buried JB. Checked the ring was ok and Wagoed ©® the hell out of it.

Perhaps something fed from an FCU that used to be where the round j/b was found?

Feeds a permanent live to an outside light?

Wild guess - old 5A socket for a table lamp?
