Earthing Question
I can confirm I don’t have 2 separate taps & when my kitchen sink tap was removed the plumber removed the 2 copper pipes (1 each for hot & cold sources) replacing with 2 flexi hoses instead. The yellow/green wire definitely leads into my sole electrical meter box in my flat. I tried to...- luca10

Electrical Power Socket & Dimmer Light Switch Replacement from Plastered Walls
when you say the wiring for the lights might not be suitable for metal faceplates. Are you saying that with old homes like mine built in 1979 the wiring behind my switches may not support a brushed stainless steel light switch? If thats the case I will have to use plastic switches correct? I...- luca10
