    Tysoft Easy Cert - Confused. Fire rated downlights to minimise build up of heat?

    Installing electrics in new build

    Hi I'm building a new house and I like to do all electric work myself to save money. Instead of paying an electrician £6k+, I thought I'll instead invest in training myself to become competent (enough) to install electrics myself in my new build. My objective is not to gain employment, I'm...

    Socket/switch heights in new build.

    Ok, I may be picking this up wrong or being a bit blonde but on the drawings it says light switches to be positioned between 900mm & 1100mm. Now the last time I worked on a new build it was 1200mm max height light switch. Looked up the Scottish building regs & it says "Electrical fixtures...

    Meter Tails

    Hi. I've recently moved into new house. The meter box and consumer unit are installed in cupboard underneath the stairs, however they are approx. 1.5m apart and the tails are surface mounted. Should they be encased in trunking so as to protect them from damage. Thanks
