Thank you all for your advice, much appreciated

How would you code it ?

No I didn't tug them in the back of the sockets, will do in future. One socket has had a tv unit constructed half over it ! and another socket has only one cable in it and the nearest ones don't have 3, so there is at least 1 junction box under the floor. It's a pain because it's ground floor...

Hi guys, I did an EICR and found the there was no neutral continuity on a socket ring feeding 3 bedrooms and a lounge. The live and cpc were good, I removed the socket fronts to all that I could access and found no neutral cable hanging out that I had hoped for. Just curious as to how you would...

Thanks guys for your help 👍

Hi apprentice87, yeah I get what you mean, thanks. makes sense now

The pump was supplied to the client by someone else, I asked where they got it from as I'd expect the supplier to have a suitable transformer but have had no reply. The pump is under a sink and it's purpose is to just pump water up to the tap above. The brand is Shurflo, their website is...
