    Wiring a new 2 gang socket

    The pattress you have looks like a deep 45mm, usually used for cooker/shower switches. You could use a shallower 25mm for a socket which would look neater on the wall. Although id agree with the above, not being a straightforward swap id get a pro to come and sort it for you.

    part P on the BBC

    Totally BBC scaremongering, sure the guy is a cowboy no doubting that, BUT this BBC nonsense is laughable, stupid panic on opening a spur which is safe if done carefully etc. And then the constant stressing of "illegal" etc.. its part p, not murder! And he can still do it if not registered on...

    "Niceeic Registered" on an advertised job? Meaning ?

    I think (not 100%) that the ad is via a recruitment firm ( /sigh ) and hoping the recruitment person just confused etc.

    "Niceeic Registered" on an advertised job? Meaning ?

    So maybe looking to move on from current position (work seems dead sadly at our firm). Looking at a role that suits me etc and i meet all there requirements and years of experience, management and supervisor experience etc etc. But then it says under requirements "Must be NICEIC Registered"...

    EICR completion rate

    Well judicious use of limitations, guidance notes and regs means the lights don't come out.. In fact on many sites they don't even go off. (i.e. a bank during working hours). Like i said judicious use of limitations. Sure theres a reason all the big FM firms and high street names use...

    EICR completion rate

    Electrician and QS on trial for death of woman

    To say someone was tragically killed and i quote "because" of the guy who did the inspection is madness is it not? He didn't cause anyone death, might have failed to spot a fault maybe, but even that is impossible to know or prove. I once had a nightmare fault finding a tripping RCD, that after...
