Help! Simple install has gone bad.

[gentz]

Hi ,

I was asked to do a couple of simple fixes in an old house (light not working, replace another light with a chandelier and similar. It is an old installation (red+black mostly, push-button MCBs etc) I needed to replace a rose and T off another lighting circuit to fix a light in the loft using a junction box (and make ready for a smoke alarm. All the bits I did are working fine but much of the rest of the house lighting is now dead and I'm out of ideas on how to fix it. I checked and re-checked everything I touched and all seems fine. Also looked around for any obvious areas that might have been disturbed. The client is very understanding but obviously, needs a fix. I am fairly new at all this (I only accept smaller jobs) but this is now going over my head. I have advertised here for a more experienced electrician I could work with (I can provide at least some regular work) but no answers yet. Now I need one immediately. Anyone willing to look at this? This is paid work. Please email if you are interested. Central London.

Thanks

Paul

All good advice. I have these books and do refer but books are one thing and live probs another. One of the members here has kindly offered to help and I think this is going to turn out OK. Thanks to all for your time and advice. It is much appreciated and I hope, in time, to be able to return the favors.

Thanks mate and stay safe.
Glenn.

I hate to say this, but some of you have been foolish in giving you phone Nos. in an open forum. Only send contact details by PM. There is no control as to who looks in here. We on the site may all be mates, but there are some weird people out there. OK you drive around in a van with your number on the side, I hope it’s business and not you’re private number.

Just a bit of advice.
