    Hello. I would like to know if from a safety perspective the wiring of the saniflo (see all 3 attached pictures) is good or not. If not can someone point to regulations that cover such jobs in bathrooms? Background: This is a Saniflo replacement and rewiring. Intuitively I would say this is...

    Is this ceiling light compliant?

    Hi I've just purchased a metal framed ceiling light from AliExpress and I am concerned that it has no earth connection or double insulated labelling, and it's not double insulated anyway. I know buying from AliExpress is not the best idea but I really liked the design and plenty of UK sites...

    3a FSU downstream of a spur socket from RFC - compliant?

    Have a 3a FSU that feeds an adjacent WC light and fan, wired from a socket that is a spur. Even though we all know that it's safe (no different to having a 3a plug top in the socket), can't quite make up my mind if it's compliant or not. Thoughts?

    Considering adding SPD and AFDD to my 17th Edition compliant CU

    Am I on the right lines, I ask? I've just recently moved into this house which is nicely equipped with a large 15 circuit CU unit with a split load x2 RCD's but first, I think an EICR would be a good idea to give a starting point reference at least, before any work is done I'm considering having...

    Not happy with this John Lewis design - non compliant.

    Just put this light up. 35mm gap between the shade and ceiling - you can get your hand in and touch the chock blocks. Not right is it. Not sure I can work around so I guess it’s got to come down. Not good.

    Non Part P compliant work?

    an electrician has installed a spur fuse(?) as part of a bathroom under floor heating installation. They removed a redundant plug socket just outside the bathroom and re-used it to instal the spur fuse. Several days later I noticed it wasn’t straight so thought I’ll straighten it when I come to...

    Amd 3 compliant, metal, two module unit

    As above, can anyone recommend a make/model of metal housing to accommodate only an rcd? I'm guessing too, that these will require a metal cover if used in a domestic setting?

    AMD 3 compliant.....?

The board was in as new condition and I don't think it has been worked on since it was installed. My photo probably does not do it justice The current...
