    Lights for a swimming pool - ideas?

    Existing customer has swimming pool that extends 4/5 feet above ground (sits on a concrete base). It's one of those where you swim against the waves. All well done and was very expensive. Because its outside he has built a timber building over the top of it (looks like a posh workshop) -...

    Lewden chandelier

    Can anyone tell me what the fittings are for this. I assume Some sort of proprietary Lewden lighting system? Its a mini chandelier and a cover slides on to this. Spade connectors do not fit the lugs. A customer has asked me to wire it up for them (they had it removed from another house and dont...

    Wet Pants strikes again

    We had to inspect and test a tenanted property this week. We did it last time - 5 years ago. The property had electric storage heating and this was converted over to Rointe type heating. In the interim the present tenant has moved in. He's supposedly a heating engineer and is 'Gas Safe'...

    Looking for Divine Inspiration!

    I've been asked to rewire a small church and it includes renewal of the wall lights (around 20 X). There is no specification (- its been left to the local clergy and me) and the Diocese have no specific requirements etc. Basically it's up to me to suggest some light fittings. Does anyone have...

    Kitchen Ceiling Extractors

    Hi. Can anyone recommend a good quality kitchen extractor that would be flush(ish) fitted into a ceiling. It needs to be quiet in use and either switched/controlled by a remote wall switch or else a hand held remote control. Has to vent externally to meet SBS? Many thanks.

    Wholeslaer dilemma

    Just wondered what peoples views might be on this. I've kept it in the Arms given the nature of the story. At the beginning of March a wholesaler (who will remain nameless, but a large business) was supposed to order a multi-tariff heating board for me. The rewire was slow for various...

    Junction boxes galore...

    I started a rewire last week. The installation failed inspection and testing miserably. Most of the wiring and accessories are going back where they were (with a few alterations/tweaks) so I was trying to use the old wiring to pull through. I was having considerable difficulty getting cables...

    Hager availability

    Is anyone else waiting on the new Hager Design 30 boards? I've been waiting for 8 weeks now for 2 boards and am just trying to ascertain if the fault is at Hager or at the wholesalers. The wholesalers avoid the question when I ask for the order number and Hager don't reply to my emails! The...

    For Wirepuller

    You mentioned never having seen a domestic CU that had been wired entirely as RFCs. I just found these pictures. It was a DIY/homeowner self build. The far left circuit is the only radial - a feed to the shed!

    Statutory requirement in Scotland for landlords to have electrical safety checks

    Just reported by the NICEIC. I know some people will have a good moan about the NIC and AP's but at least we don't have DI's and this stops all the Dangerous Daves and Roger the bodgers doing the I&T: NICEIC registered contractors in Scotland are recognised as satisfying statutory guidance...

    Why Don't The Moderators Take More Action?

    Hi Marvo. I just wanted to make clear that I wasn't having a go at you in my last post. What I dont understand (as a moderator on another forum) is that Dan posted a sticky back in Feb 2011 which was a refresher of an earlier post saying this: It's come to our attention recently that a couple...

    Electrical Safety First campaign

    Just read the following on the Edmundsons email circular I receive. The law requires an electrician registered with a government-approved scheme, such as the one operated by NICEIC, to carry out most electrical work in the home. Since when has this been law? Have I been asleep? Link...
