I can seem to find...

We're wiring the lights...

Ive just started a rewrite on a large grade A listed building and the client wants to reuse the switches as a period feature but I'm not sure! The switches are the toggle type with a brass face plate that goes over the switches and is held in place with lock rings. The back boxes are cast...
I want to add a remote room thermostat to my present central heating system.

Hello.
Ive just got back off a job, I narrowed it down to the immersion heater element causing a b16 60898 mcb to trip.

Hi
