Hello! I'm in the process of re-wiring my mother's house (it's going to take ages), I've just finished the sitting room, put in lights and sockets on a ring main (before the house had no ring main, just masses of radials on radials? Some of it was aluminium too...) but christmas is upon us and...

Hi, I've been asked to fit a replacement oven with separate hob. The old oven and hob are electrically attached to each other and then wired in to the cable that comes out of the cooker switch on the tiles above the work top (no cooker point behind oven). The CU is an old one and there are no...

Hello, The owners of the kitchen I am wiring would like 3 different "sets" of lights in it. 1 set of spots shining on their stove, sink and dresser, 1 "normal" set of 3 pendant lights and one set outside to light up their path. I have one incoming 1.5 mm t&e from the consumer unit that...

Hello happy people. I have another question for you. Gas hobs- (not with an oven attached, just a hob that fits into a work top) will it need a designated circuit? I can only find stuff about "cookers" and "ovens" but nothing about stand alone hobs. I'm presuming it will need some kind of...

Can anyone help? I wondered if it was possible to "earth" the water in a fish tank. The metal frame is earth bonded but when a fault occurs in the equipment nothing trips as the water doesn't touch the metal frame. I have ideas of what might work but I wondered if anyone else had come across...

Hello, Can anyone out there recommend a reasonable PAT testing piece of equipment? I'm looking to buy one as I'm off on a course to do my 2377 soon and I'd like to take my own equipment with me. I'd like something that did all the necessary tests and ease of use, longevity and compliance and...

Hello. I'm new. Also yes, I am female, and I mean properly so with 2 X chromosomes and everything. Misty:D

Hi, this might be a thread elsewhere but I couldn't find it, please feel free to move it if it is in the wrong place. Which C&G cert do I need to do PAT please? I've been looking about and the most common one offered is 2377-12 but I've seen others too. Please could someone clarify...
