About the standard 450 Sharpend. Thing is just can't see any other solution. With the radiator there and new skirting below it haven't even got option of running some trunking which she is pretty adamant she doesnt want anyway

Got job woman wants sockets over other side of room only available socket to come from has radiator to side of it and hot water pipes underneath which are going to be run in slotted skirting. Other than chasing up and round the radiator which obviously means not within safe zones only other...

Thanks Phoenix. Yes the meter is in the property. There is no other cutout. The mettalic supply pipe runs into another MEM box here, connects into Henley block and from Henley 25mm to meter. Does really look like 10mm compared to 10mm earth i had. 

Hi all hope everyone well. Interested to clarify my thoughts with others on this. Did a quick inspection of property for a potential consumer unit change. The property is house converted in flat downstairs and upstairs. Main intake is in door entrance. Here as can see from photo supply comes...

To be honest couldn't ask for better customer isn't a penny pincher just wants to go for best solution I think. Will send him details of Phillips and Quinetic and see what he thinks is most suitable 

Thanks mate as helpful as ever 👍

No it's the reciever in ceiling mate thats 230v supplied. He's had trouble with these previously just seem to have short life span. That are also only suitable for halogen lighting he wants to convert to LED's

Thanks Murdoch. Have never looked into Phillips Hue set ups from a quick look might be a solution. For someone aswell totally forgot about Quinetic this might do the job also. Part of the problem I have is trying to adapt his current fittings, they are low voltage halogen at the with 3 bulbs in...

Evening all. Hope everyone's well. Question for you's........anyone aware of any lighting control products that can be controlled via a remote and wall mounted switch and are also dimmable and doesn't involve the need for any wiring at switch. Customer currently has this set up but...

There has definately been a change there pretty recently. Will delve into it and post an update here 

Thanks for detailed reply Dave. I couldn't unfortunately get access to distribution cupboards. It's an old 50's council block and to get access in there needs to be pre arranged. I don't think I have much other choice than to try to get access and get client to change over to single supply...

😂😂 It is Murdoch. It's prehistoric mate. Most of the circuits are in piro so any potential board change could be a total pain. Where the rcd protection is concerned if the the change from storage heaters to new rads is just utilising existing wiring it's like for like isn't it so lack of rcd...

Hello all Checked out job today. Woman wants to replace her broken storage heaters with electric radiators which she has already purchased. Had a previous electrician check it out and say it can't be done. I think it can but just want to check would be approaching it right. I've included 2...

Noted Murdoch. it's generally the approach I take with dealing with things I have lack of experience in. Cheers Dave I'll keep that in mind. Just had a bit of delve in to them Geoff seems like most wifi switches require a neutral at the switch and like we know most not wired like this. I...

Hi all Customer has made a mess of his lighting with trying to install Alexa wifi switches. The usual he said kitchen now turning on bathroom 😄. Not installed any of these before and although will be hourly rate job standing there twiddling my thumbs not a great look so little heads up on these...

Very true for 3 times the price it's a no brainer 

Thanks Evans. Had previously only found this https://www.toolstation.com/wylex-domestic-switch-fuse/p51068?utm_source=googleshopping&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=googleshoppingfeed&gclid=CjwKCAjwlZf3BRABEiwA8Q0qq4hVX9xoOFUt6hEGKdqtH5iGCOSfY665fiPsHkeHXBv0HW7qKeVJUxoCsk8QAvD_BwE At...

That's been my experience too on a few occasions in short time been going. People in general do seem to appreciate the the extra time given checking things over and peace of mind your giving them with complying with regs. This one just proving to be a bit of pain though now as initially had to...

That's my thoughts as well Murdoch on the connections would not be happy to do that and as can see a lot of possible problems with the re routing and added expense am inclined to just give this one a pass to be honest.
