Had niceic guy out today and has advised that behind kitchen units i dont need to fit fire rated clips in trunking. I was under the impression that they were to be fitted in all trunking? Any thoughts?
evening
doing my 1st new build- which is zero rated for vat (apprantely)
do i just invoice awith zero % vat- and just ask the client for a copy of the zero rated new build cert- and put that in my records to show why no VAT was charged- or is it a bit more complicated then this?
cheers
I am adding a fuse box to a campervan to run lights etc off the leisure battery.
The existing circuits are fused at 15 amps so I am using 21a cable.
But the spade connectors I have are rated at 15a? I thought all spade connectors were the same as most don't give a rating?
Will these do or will...
Got to repair a cable (HN05 3 core flex 1mm csa) which is attached to the side of a gazebo - so it needs to be IP rated and not stand out too much...
Been thinking about the small Wiska shark product or one of the IP68 type waterproof units
Any suggestions?

My question is if the cable (in red) as shown in the picture below from DB-LL to ATS (1 x 4 core x 50mm) is needed to Fire rated or it can be a normal SWA cable?
I know that the cables in fire route and the cables leaving from the generator must be fire rated but I am not sure about the specific...
Hi there
A customer has asked me to install a new freestanding cooker. I asked them what power it was. They said 0.79Kwh.
I thought they were confused and ask them to send a link. And yes, Curry’s now list power consumption in KWh.
Am I wrong in thinking they have misplaced the decimal and it...
Why do people still make none fire rated down-lights?
Got to do a quote for a new build where the client wants fittings that are not fire rated. Still waiting for quote from my wholesalers- but doubt they are cheap!

I need to put an image on but not sure how on here, it's quite limited.
I'm just using Tysoft Easy Cert to compose a DEICR and one of the questions refers to using a fire rated downlight to minimise the build-up of heat.
That's not what they are for.
Every time I see this question it...
Hi Guys,
Just after a bit of advice,

What i was wondering there a few downlight's (Gu10) in the property Kitchen/Living room all of them Non- fire rated do they need to be fire rated as its in black of...
hi all, ive recently completed a loft conversion part of which was a shower room. Originally i fitted 3 x IP65 rated fixed downlights but the customer has since decided they arnt happy with them because of the shadow it creates. The shower room only has a partial flat ceiling the rest slopes...
I know this gets done to death, but just some light debate (see what I did there!).
Been fervent installer of JCC FGLED down lights, mainly because of push fit connections and ten year warranty. I have used some other manufacturers, Scolmore Inceptor, but mainly JCC.
However, recently my...
Hi
I'm sure this question has been asked before, but here goes:rolleyes::
I'm thinking about installing down lights in my hallway. This is on the ground floor of my house, and above is the first floor, all of which is my own house. There is no insulation the the ceiling void. So my question...
Hi
This maybe a daft question but I want to be 100% sure. Do fire rated recessed down lights require Insumescent covers? Or will a 200mm air gap surrounding the fitting suffice?
Thanks in advance

Need some ideas please chaps. Ground workers have damaged a 12V cable running to a light - so I need to put a joint in to it. Its 12v DC so only 2 cores to worry about.
So far I've considered:
Wiska Shark - the 6A version
and
The TubeTee IP68 inline connector
Are there any others I...
I thought would try rated people as they were offering free membership, and having spent well over an hour on the phone to them I got transferred to 5 different people who frankly didn't inspire much confidence in me to deal with a simple issue (their website actually says free membership in my...
Hi
Have a customer who wants to put smart bulbs into tiltable downlights in his bathroom. I've not seen any GU10 tilt downlights that are suitably IP rated for a bathroom, have any of you got any suggestions? Must be a GU10 fitting as he wants to fit smart bulbs.
Thanks
I'm hoping for a bit of advice from the experts here.
Our electrician has fitted an IP20 rated downlight above the shower in our new bathroom. He says this is fine as the GU10 LED bulb is a sealed unit and therefore "won't explode."
I'm not convinced that it's entirely safe as I would expect...
Hello.
So I've learned a lot about dimmers on this last job. The customer wanted everything downstairs on dimmers and boy has it been a learning curve.
I've split a lighting circuit and the customer has asked for 2 x st64 led bulbs on pendants to be put on a dimmer. The problem is they're...
Hi all I am trying to get some new LED's such as the Elite / Aurora E8's etc.. from local wholesalers to fit into a top floor apartment which has been constructed with each floor and on top floor ( the apartment ) in the metal deck and poured concrete slab into it system, supplier reckons that...
