    A few times I’ve actually removed the downpipe and fixed the cable directly behind.

    Dual Metered Distribution Board

    Been asked to quote for a job where the small power and lighting needs separate metering. I’ve not come across this before as I usually only do small commercial, which I believe is exempt from this requirement. Anyone know the actual requirements as per regulations? Anyway I digress. I...

    UK Wanting some quoting advice / am I about right/or too high-low

    Hager RCBO’s have come down massively in price the last few months. Now should be similar to Fusebox mini ones. Some unscrupulous wholesalers are not passing this reduction on though. Make sure you shop around if not.

    One RCBO killing entire board?

    CCU Change on property

    I would argue that some limitations are acceptable on an EIC. For example, consumer unit change, lighting circuits with downlighters etc, then L-L IR test is always going to be a LIM in reality.

    Heatmiser neostat v2

    You can change it to floor temp mode in the settings. So it shows floor temp on the display instead of room temp. It’s all in the manual. Takes 2 mins to do. I’ve fitted loads of these and never had one fail.

    City's new range.... Reviews anyone?

    Why would you? Click are not expensive anyway and a pound to a penny, anything CEF own brand is absolute tripe.
