    UK What electricians should I look out for as an apprentice?

    Can't figure this out this 3-way switch for the life of me.

    I know this is probably very simple for a lot of you, but I just can't get it to work right right. I've been close, but no cigar. I disconnected the switches because I painted the walls and I can't remember how I had them wired. There are two 3-way switches that control two exterior lights...

    Anyone want to help me clear out old cable?

    Getting desperate to clear my small garage, and I have a bit of old red/black T&E. I used a few bits to add a socket or two in my flat and a couple of neighbours, as the development is all wired in old colours. I am well aware that there are cowboys out there who buy this online, at quite...

    Should a completion certificate always be given for works carried out please?

    Hi Everyone, I had a new consumer unit installed in December 2021, the electrician said that he had more testing to complete and would come back and said it could wait. My oven also began tripping on the same day, which he felt was a faulty oven. I asked to schedule for a few months and...
