    Consumer Unit.

    As a side point, when i had a smart meter fitted last year, i said to the 'highly trained operative nailing the equipment to my wall & strangling the tails'   it was a pity i had forgot to buy an isolator as it was the ideal time to fit it. He replied  'i can do that, we have been trained...

    Instructions needed for this fan

    Hi all I have been asked for to supply user instructions for this humidistat fan i fitted over a year ago.  I think Avenue is Medlocks branding of Manrose.  There pretty standard instructions that cover many units but i cant find anything on line that has the knob on the bottom. I would have...

    Bad electrician? Advice needed.

    Putting aside all the  valid comments above , you have missed one point. That is since the 17th edition has been out one of the tick boxes on the report is check ALL terminations are tight in the board. This obviously was not done.

    New cabling behind wooden door frame

    Does the replaced cable run from the wall light above the switch, to the switch ? if so that would have been easier to chase out , rewire & replaster than what his done. The decorating has not been done yet has it. It looks from your pics the part of cable behind the door liner is the only...

    Is Local circuit protection needed ?

    I couldn't think of a good title for this question.  I looked at a job  in warehouse to fit  6x 3ph heaters. 2kw per phase per heater, manufacturer quotes 9 Amp per phase. Not enough spare ways in the board. I could run  3 heaters ( x 2 sets) off a 32A, B type  3ph breaker & use 6mm cable...

    Amazon delivery:

    I put an order into CPC last week for a few each of all the various BNC type adapters, plugs, t pieces etc so we dont get caught out when away on the shopfitting jobs.  Later that day, around 3pm  i needed to order a hearing loop kit from them so phoned up & tried to get the orders combined...

    Here's something you don't see every day

    I used to see a few of those Wylex rcd boards on council properties around East London. Councils seemed to retrofit new rcd main switch boards to everything in the 80's

    fireplace central heating with an extra electric water heater.

    Even if this did work, i donr know any undersink type 3kw water heater that  passes water though, they are stored water. The only thing similar to what you want is a standard hot water cylinder fitted with a 3kw immersion but even the smallest wont fit under a  sink and i doubt the heater could...
