    DNO cable through party wall - sealing gap for sound reduction

    I live in a mid terraced house (ex council)which dates from around 1950. The supply is a TN-S with no loop out (I maybe looped off one of neighbours I don’t know) The supply cables seem to lie along the bottom of floor void at front of property, with bricks having been removed/left out. This...

    Please help...at the end of my tether with transformer/Ring

    Maybe the OP would be as well to buy a fig8 mains lead, and chop end off ? at least that would be suitable cable and wired ok at plug end, can be had for less than £5 on eBay or Amazon

    so JK Electrical came round today to do my EICR as agreed. Very pleasant guy (as was his apprentice) although my installation I think tested this to the limit. They were very thorough and stuck with it till the bitter end results (from memory not got report yet) - RCD on consumer unit is...

    correct similar (same range as far as I can tell). RCBO's would be my first choice, and if new consumer unit does 20 years the cost is probably worth it I had hoped to find some folk on here, but looks like not many scottish electricians never mind glasgow area ones thanks all for help so far

    Thanks, thats good to know I'm basically trying to - get any safety issues sorted - plan for future (in terms of whole house) I'd rather have a better RCD when standing under an electric shower, but I also showered for years under one with no RCD at all just a rewirable fuse

    Obviously it would need a certain level of testing before it's changed. See what if any surprises lay in store(RCD maybe least of worries lol)

    Just got keys today the consumer unit looked like Google Image Result for http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c353/bolukeduke/DSC00004.jpg - https://goo.gl/images/PAkvfd It had a RCD (or similar) rated at 70ma. I think it would probably benifit from a replacement.

    so they didn't appear to be replacement/retro fit MCBs(they weren't the round push button ones, which were popular retrofits) An EICR might be a good idea, but I avoided specifying that as it can become more about the provision of a certificate than anything else (to satisfy landlord market)

    I cant't I'm afraid, I didn't take a picture during the viewing. All I can recall (viewed over a month ago so could be wrong) metal consumer unit, had breakers, breakers weren't push button kind (old wylex/mem which can be added to replace wired fuses), fusebox is at least 10 years old In any...

    Moving into a new (to me) property, looking for someone to give install once over from safety perspective. Longer term maybe looking to replace consumer unit with one with RCBOs (current has MCBs not sure if any RCD). Would prefer a small firm to large one. Would be looking to get check done...
