    Do these types of switches exist?

    Went to see an friend who is had some electrical work done and he had a 2 gang back box fitted with 4 swicthes but only two are operational. After happily having my electrical work done you now appreciate electrics more. One switch operates as a two way switch and the other operates the outdoor...

    Where are you lot buying consumer units.

    The hardest sale is not to the electrician but to the end user. I suspect many end users have no clue on what brand or quality is best. Would it be fair to suggest a 'weak brand' CU installed by a competent electrician is better than a @top brand@ CU thrown in?

    Where are you lot buying consumer units.

    Might come as a stupid question - but how can places still sell 17th edition consumer units when I thought the latest is 18th edition and it's illegal to install anything less than current regs / specs.

    Cellar lighting recommendation

    So I have had the cellar cleaned and painted with limewash - it's an old house and tanking causes as many problems as it solves. The problem I have is the lighting - the floor joists are exactly 5ft 11inch from the cellar floor - currently there is a single ceiling rose in the middle of the...

    25mm back box - Schneider Ultimate Slim Range

    I got into a discussion with a friend - he came around to see what I had fitted. I fitted a mix of sockets - BG and MK (different up and downstairs) - he wants to replace his existing sockets with Schneider Ultimate Slim White Range - I think he has standard 25mm boxes. I said he couldn't use...

    How do I remove this 6v ride-on battery

    I bought electric scooters for my kids but left them in the back of the garage for over a year - totally forgot about them - anyway I charged them up and they lasted about 5mins. I assume the batteries need replacing? But they seem to be soldered in. I checked online to revive lead acid...

    How to remove plaster dust

    Well they played fill the sockets. The electrician told them not to fill the sockets but it seems it falls on deaf ears. I think I will have to clean out the sockets before the electrician returns for the second fix.

    How to remove plaster dust

    No we are going to put underlay down and carpets but the wood seems ruined. It never crossed my mind the amount of dust - I have never had a big plaster job done.

    How to remove plaster dust

    My word the plasterers left a bit of a mess - the wooden floorboards were caked in plaster dust. I have hoovered up three times and brushed hard but it seems ground in. How can I remove it? I tried a mop but it made no difference. Is there some sort of chemical I can use? Or will I need to...
