    Ring wired doorbells (again!)

    I’m trying to install my Ring doorbell (2nd gen) and I’ve discovered that the transformer feeding my Freidland isn’t producing any power. I suspect that I connected the jumper lead between the wrong wires (thanks to Ring’s really confusing instruction!) so I now need to replace it. I don’t want...

    Council bod strikes again

    Here we go again, another job that has had a council inspection, different council to last time but still perplexing. The problem with these jobs is we don't get a spec and are told to just do what you think is best, so we do. We work for a company that does work for an insurance company that...

    R1 R2 Chestnut time again

    We all know how to and why we get the 1/4 value, but to what, if anything do we add to that figure and into what box on the cert does it go, depends on who you ask/assessor is apparently,

    So I heard on the news this morning that they will be reviving Fault Towers. Also see below. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-64563839 I can't see this going far. Don't get me wrong, I loved the original (as you can tell by my signature) but there will be too many people...

    EICR - I completed all remedial works now being told he needs to do a full test again

    Hey all, Could do with some help. I had a company recommended to me who quoted me to do an EICR on my rental property. (£265). I thought this was quite expensive but as I've been messed around no end by tradesmen I thought I'd go with the recommendation and pay the extra. I also asked him to...

    TNC-S Supply but combined again at DB?

    Took a look at a block of flats today that has a TNC-S supply. Each flat is fed by a 2-core mineral insulated cable. The earth and neutral are then combined again using a henley block prior to entering the consumer unit. Has anyone come across this before?

    Smoke detectors and Scotland (again!)

    Lots of threads already about the new legislation, and February ain’t far away… so I’d just like to post a few queries for discussion. Not that I’ve come across anything myself. Customers are usually happy with the bare minimum, but just things I’ve heard. Smoke detector fitted in attic where...

    Questionable ads again

    Seeing a lot of ads for Motex, another fake electricity-bill-saver. I had four on one page just now, including pics of dangerous foreign electrical demos with bare live connections, I think these were from India or Pakistan. So two unrelated kinds of electrical bad practice being displayed...

    Cooker switch plates again

    Just been asked to reinstate a cooker point. Existing feed is checking out perfectly. However, the existing back box has top and bottom lugs ~135mm apart. I'm assuming that this is an old imperial box. Can anyone suggest what faceplate is appropriate? Yes, yes, next time I take a photo...

    Copper prices going up up and up again

    Went to scrap yard today, had a large sack, just shy of 20KG of stripped copper cables. Was shocked when he said £6 per KG... nice Brucy bonus for me there... Copper has gone up again after a little fall. from a job point of view it means the price of cables is going to go up even further. Did...

    Wet pants strikes again.....

    I was on the Wirral so my gaffer asked if I could swing by a pub as the landlord doesn't think the water tank is properly supported. So I goes into the abandoned flat and ogle the surface conduit, bakerlite switches and wooden pattresses. Then remembered the water tank. Stuck my head...

    Smart meter push, again.

    Today I got a note by postcard from SSE saying: "We recently contacted you about your new smart meter, which can be delivered and installed for you from 10 May" Now I am not aware of being contacted, certainly not by phone, so it seems a bit disingenuous to tell me this. Also I have a fairly...
