We all know about the duff max Zs tables in the OSG (Table B6) and GN3 (Table A4)... in fact, I've only just recently updated my GN3, and I'm pleased to say they have reprinted it and it now has the correct tables in.
I've noticed in my (early-purchased, with dodgy table B6) OSG that...

:smile5:Hi, does the installation of an TV point create a safe zone in the same way say a socket would? Just been to look at a job and seen a 2.5mm t+e running down a wall above a TV point and then turn to feed a socket. Never seen this before and it got me thinking whether this is allowed or...

Hi all

Hi Guys, visited a brand new house today and had a nose round as you do. I know it's sad but I'm looking at the electrics. What I noticed in the bathroom was a normal wall mounted light switch by the bathroom entrance door within the bathroom. The isolation switch for the extractor fan was also...

Okay, I'm preparing to open myself up to some abuse here, but I have had a good read of the BGB before I posted this and I just want to make sure I had things right as I think the regs are perhaps open to interpretation.
I've just done a bathroom makeover with a plumber mate which involved...

Hi extension kitchen with exposed beams. Walls to be dot and dabbed. Requested not to drill joists. in theory the bottom of exposed joists would be where plasterboard goes. So the 150 mm safe zone can be taken from the bottom of the joists? If so the cables can be run in oval against wall just...

Been asked to look at an underfloor heating system which isn't working the best. It's only installed on the ground floor of the property, and has four zones. Is there any rule of thumb with regards the location of the stats - location and heights?
