    Safe Isolation

    Still got my trusty martindale and proving unit I've had since I was a 1st year apprentice in 2006. Can't go wrong, neons are either on or off

    Installing electric Hob in mobile home with 40A intake

    Neff do a 13A induction hob now and I'm sure other manufacturers probably do now aswell, if they haven't bought the unit already it might be something worth looking into to save all this hassle

    lathe and plaster and downlights!!!

    Had this before with tougher plaster than normal, was almost like a concrete skim. used the holesaw to mark the circle then used a 6mm drill to make a series of holes right round the circle then followed through with the holesaw

    CU with a Left Hand Main Switch

    Call me stupid if you want, can you not just get a "normal" right hand main switch unit, slide the main switch along the busbar to the left, swap over the L&N, then go all rcbo? Would maybe increase your chances of finding the right height of unit to fit in the space?

    2x 1.5 t&e in and out of ansell Icage works fine for me, if you have a joint with feeds etc then it's a hager501

    Split concentric submains

    I feel an armour is easier to make a tidy job of termination and looks neater inside a board. Split concentric is a fair bit cheaper per m though?

    Pump wiring help

    Would using a 3 channel time clock or individual timeclocks then wiring three separate sort of "systems" help. the other valves won't operate if they don't have their "on" switch wire from the time clock and so having the oranges linked up wouldn't make a difference as the pumps will not be...

    AM2 Lighting

    How about feed and neutral into first switch, switch and neutral back to light from first switch. Then just a 3core t&e from first switch, with com joint through in intermediate switch to your last switch.

    Which SDS chuck...?

    At my old work we were always given these makita ones, still got a few of them now and have lasted well. Also cheaper than the Bosch one linked above http://www.toolstop.co.uk/makita-p-33788-sds-plus-keyless-adapter-chuck-p11145

    Valve cable

    Try and get the valve flex pulled to somewhere accessible and into a joint box then come from that with your 5/6core flex or use 2x a 3/4core and remember what core is used for what. Always a pain when the valves and stats are spread around the house

    Best true retrofit GU10 LED lamp

    Have used many including the Philips master and a cheaper loxa one both seemed pretty good and dimmed well with the right dimmer. Obviously a big difference in price but you get what you pay for I guess

    LED wall light??

    Try asking your wholesaler for something from companies they deal with- perhaps ansell, enluce etc. surely they would have something?

    spotlights in bathroom

    by top hats do you mean fire hoods? i would personally focus more on the correct ip ratied lights for the zone on the bathroom side and just clear the insulation from above the light in the loft

    Bathroom extractor fan recommendations...

    XID100 | Xpelair used these a fair few times mounted in lofts. there are also run on timers and speed controllers available and it all seems to work very well. usually use these in conjunction with a "fan light kit" disposing of the fan part and just usuing it as a ceiling grille with the 12v...

    A Question about Cutters

    A good place might be to start with a simple set up of combination pliers, snips and a set of srippers. You can really go wrong with knipex in my opinion. Something like this: (Insulated ofcourse, just incase!)
