Does he live next door??? And/Or have you calculated: travel time, material costs, overheads, insurance, time collecting materials required for your job, admin doing paperwork, Have you got at least Three-Quotes... Or just the one.... etc.. ? Or are you just guessing, at your expected...

Why do you think that EICR electricians didn't want to come back to make some money one easy remedials? Golden rule No1... Assume EVERYTHING is Faulty, Wrong, Dangerous, Non-Compliant, Done by DIY-Bob, Incorrectly identified, Never been tested.. etc.... etc... UNLESS... You have proved...

Have you ramp tested the 6A RCBO to see how sensitive it is? i.e. to give you some idea of what sort of "apparent leakage" current you are looking for? Are the two circuit RCBO's next to each other in the CU? If yes can you move them further apart to see if the symptoms persist? Could it be...

Fingerbobs!!!!!!!!!!!! :):D:p:ROFLMAO::LOL: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fingerbobs Gosh that's showing your age!!! :oops::eek: Could they get away with a phrase like "Fingerbobs" on childrens TV now?? It does sound like there could be a bit of innuendo to it in the current politically...

Hmmm......... I do think a "Daft Question" is something like.... "Do you want to go for a pint?" :unsure: When the correct "Sensible Question" would be more like...... "Where shall we go for a pint?" :cool:🍻🍺🏠🏖️🏕️

Glad to hear.. But please also remember that "Up & Running" does not always mean something is wired correctly and electrically safe.. (e.g. reverse polarity and missing earth onto metal parts would be "Up & Running".. but NOT correct or safe!) Similar to a car with no insurance, no road Tax...

There are no more issues or problems having a 240v towel radiator in a bathroom anymore than having a 240v electric shower over a bath or inside a shower enclosure. Transformers do NOT save energy... They just transform the voltage up or down (or just provide isolation at the same voltage such...

Hi Wayne.. Welcome to the forum... (y)🍻 In my opinion there is no "one-size-fits-all" method for anyone sitting exams as numerous factors need to be considered.. e.g. Are you currently an employee in a larger electrical contractor business with various work colleagues who have already passed...

1/ Welcome to the forum Paul... 2/ Well written question including links to other relevant info... 3/ Its Friday and I've had too many 🍺🍻🍺🍻🍺🍻🍺🍻 to fully think out exactly what you are asking... 4/ One of your images does not look like typical UK sockets, although your profile states you are...

Short answer No... You probably need some sort of plinth / spacer to bring the fan body further away from the wall tiles if you don't have enough depth for the duct outlet to insert into.... worst case "bodgit & scarper" method 20x of these...

The volt drop down the cable will be approx 0.51V. which is ref the connected load e.g. the 50W anti condensation heater. (18mv/A/m x 0.22A x 130m) / 1000 And as the op says this is the only thing to be connected to the cable.. you would never be drawing 4.7amps? Plus the MCB is there to...

How do you think that the heater would be damaged? MCB's are not used to protect appliances/loads. Any appliance or load would typically have its own internal overload protection and/or a plug-top/fused spur overload protective fuse.. No different to our 5A boiler supply connected to a 32A...

Hidden, extra small DB's (CU's), in obscure locations, are a common occurrence that you should always keep in mind when undertaking any work on an installation you have no prior knowledge of... Plus maybe some useful future tips & guidance... While you are checking on earthing & bonding prior...

I cannot believe that any competent person cannot identify what circuit is supplying a load even if there are no labels are written on the CU..?! Video calls and/or local isolators are just a red-herring, piss-in-the-wind factor / distraction IMHO... In this instance, one option is to turn...

Just the Tie & the Jacket as far as I can see??

Or just into the very-big pending box-file.. Last year my Son & Daughter-in-law were double charged for additional baggage they had already paid for.. when their original BA return flight from America was rescheduled onto another flight.. Second flight would not let them board until they paid...

I can't figure out from your drawing where the original socket(s), and the ring wiring that you want to extend from is? But the basic rule I would work to, is to avoid putting multiple sockets off a 13A FCU, off a ring!

I also may be wrong.. (and sharing the semi-ignorance-boat with Sir-Richard).. But I have seen some old, non-standard, limited functionality heating systems.. e.g. no motorised valves OR a pump!! Gravity fed, using hot water rises principal... Basically if the boiler is on... It heats...

Meanwhile some of us are still grafting.. Earlier today, sorting out a SWA j/box on the boundary wall of a customers property... Which is accessed via a public footpath on the neighbours farm land... I had a group of potential apprentices watching closely.. Or were they just eyeing up my tools...

By "watching.....is fun", I assume you mean meticulous observation, of all the boat decks, with high magnification binoculars, checking for any topless sunbathers cruising past?? :unsure:
