Hello, about 2 months ago I was working on a rewire for a large property, and we had to have the DNO come out to upgrade the supply.
Whilst we were chatting, I asked him what the black stuff was dripping from the cable down the wall and he told me that it's the old bitumen melting from a loose...

this might seem like a strange question but we are re-wiring a lot of kitchens where the kitchens will be ripped out the day before we start works, but they would like us to isolate the Kitchen Ring and cooker circuit before its ripped out as some points are surface mounted on the...

Have you done something to the forum recently?
In the last day or so, loading any page has started taking ages, giving Waterfox Not responding and sometimes Unresponsive script warning.
It appears to be related to the blue 'Electricians Talk/Jobs' box.
It's fine once that box loads up.
Soooo, I'm proud of our resource system here so plugged it to the tilers.
Resources for Electricians
They had something to ask (second post).
Checkout their resource section mind.

I'm looking at buying a house, it's a few doors up and was built at the same time (Dec 2009) as the one I'm currently in.
Whilst taking a look around I spotted a couple of sockets had scorch marks around the live pin socket.
I'd always assumed this was a sign of an overloaded socket...

Hi guys, got my assessment on Thursday, was wondering how stringent they are on safe isolation etc, do they want the board turned off before opening etc, and I take it I'll need to lock off all the time, I never do it if I'm in a house on my own, and I will be for my 3 jobs! Proving unit every...
