I did think that too but usually do a tap test to rule one out, they can look very similar, worth a mention either way just in case it was, could mean the thread creator just goes forward with a little caution.Looks more like cement board
The ceiling does look like asbestos. If the property has an internal garage, there is a good chance it will be asbestos. It’s there as a fire break to stop the fire spreading to the rest of the property If it has a door into the property from the garage that could be asbestos as well Get it checked before you start work.Hi
Just bought this 1960s house, will be doing full rewire. Incoming supply splits and goes through hole in garage to next door. This is a looped supply?
From what I've read this can restrict us getting an electric car charger in future, that I can speak to the dno about unlooping.
Electrician said the earth cable clamp (coming from next door), clamping on to the mains at the bottom, was loose. Is that a dno issue?
How safe is this setup, sharing next door via a hole in the wall? I believe they are on old style fuses like this with no rcds. If anything were to blow or fire on their old electrics, would it quickly spread through here?
I don't want to annoy the neighbours by having the driveway dug up, but I also want to be safe.
On the full rewire, does this old bit of backboard have to stay? Or is it fine?
Thanks

Hi Chriso did you manage to find a solution? We are in a similar situation with our property that was splits into 2 different properties some time ago. We brought UKPN to request to unloop the service but they say that it is not a looped service but rather a single phase supply which laterally feeds my upstairs neighbour via a private cable...Hi
