My method is use 25mm back box where possible - very often it's plaster depth so it saves time. I mark the rectangle with a floorboard bolster - find it easier to work with than an electricians one - then 2" SDS chisel as sellars. I finish corners by hand with a small chisel. To finish I rough...

I recently found an NIC firm did an EICR for an old girl -

Plasterboard or coving adhesive is good for a rough fill of chases - cheap and goes off quick. Readymix plaster for smaller jobs.

Covered the grape - now on the grain!

Just a quick thought for the Moderators - this thread and Unphased's other thread seem to be converging. Is there any chance we could merge the relevant parts here? Thanks

If it was free to download and refer to there would be no excuses for the cowboys - and the technically minded pubic would police it! Also you could print out only the relevant sections and tables (how often have you seen or used aluminium cables if you're domestic/light commercial?) Also if...

Mr Electric is a franchised operation - franchise cost

This is a common theme in engineering. Lots of equipment has a multitude of documents saying how it is built and to be maintained. There are no documents explaining why it was built that way. The regs are a similar case. They could be simplified a lot if they were written in a way explaining...

Having been through an electrical engineering apprenticeship with many years in engineering design I've found that people are people whatever discipline they come from (with the exception of Software engineers who as a rule have egos the size of a planet and think anyone who doesn't understand...

Sounds like a TT system with a N-E fault. Switch off RCD and try N-E insulation. ---------- Post Auto-Merged at 13:17 ---------- Previous post was made at 13:09 ---------- I've found this on some RCBOs as well - can't remember the make and certainly can't explain it!

So that's how they do it!

Tried it this afternoon. Customer heard popping noises behind the soil stack cover and the socket ring fuse had blown. After investigating under the bath to no avail I drilled a 50mm access hole downstairs - and with the camera was able to see where a leak from the bathroom had run down and...

Just got one today -quite a few in Lidl at St Budeaux in Plymouth Looks to be a useful bit of kit - hoping to try it in anger this afternoon! Thanks for the heads up!

I've been bought a Download ticket for my 55th - going there with my kids! Last festival I went to was Reading 1977!!

The theory of the ELCB's is valid but with bonding to buried pipes it is possible to have multiple earth paths - so the full trip voltage may not be seen. If next door is TNCS and shares the metal pipes then it might never trip. On the other hand I've come across one which tripped perfectly at...

The breaker is at the end of the cable - so not possible.
