electrician

Have removed old cooker hood & chimney, leaving me with what’s shown in the photo. Presuming my next step is to remove the hardwiring that goes into the socket from the existing motor so I can then remove what’s left of the old appliance, leaving just the socket & then hardwire new appliance...

Hello everyone, I am interested in pursuing a career in the electrical industry as an electrician. I have been looking at several vocational training centers around me and Learn Trade Skills is closest to where I live. I have been looking at several of their courses. Among which professional...

Hoping someone can help me here. Today I turned on the electric shower (Triton Madrid II) but it didn’t power on. The isolator switch light turns on initially but the light turns off when I turn the shower to any power mode. The LED power indicator on the shower does not turn on at any point...

I am having a sub meter installed in a property (to separate out cost of the hallway lighting and a flat). An electrician has been to the property and told me there is no isolation switch after the meter to turn the power off. He said the meter is a liberty 100 and the manufacturer should have a...

Currently, I have a socket for my gas cooker that has another socket spurred off it for my under counter fridge. A little like the attached image of mine, but without the dual outlet plate and just spurring straight off the back of the socket under the counter. I plan on putting some eBay LED...

I've had a new cooker circuit installed for electric oven (was gas previously). Sparky that installed said it all had to meet regs so it also involved moving sockets to inside cupboards etc. rather than behind appliances. Happy with the work he's done but when I asked him for the certificate he...

In my new extension a qualified electrician will be extending the ring main of my existing downstairs circuit into my new extension. He lives nearby and to save him the work, I'll be clipping the T&E cable on the wall in runs to the various sockets (in the safe zones of course) as well as light...

Hi, I'm just after changing most of the light switches in my house, and I've come across two problems. Firstly, I have installed metal switches in some areas of the house, and I'm unable to earth the switches because when the house was built, whoever installed the lights seems to have cut off...

Hi, I just installed a new light switch in my downstairs bathroom which is near the house alarm. It is a 2 gang 2 way switch with the other switch directly beside the alarm. The new switch controls the bathroom light and extractor fan, and there is a lot of "buzzing" in the bathroom when the...

Hi I have been quoted for installing a new consumer unit to existing house and running new circuits to the new extension (ring main, lights, shower and cooker). Installation to include basic sockets, ceiling roses, 3 x outside sensor lights, 2 x smoke alarms and 1 x heat alarm, outside socket...

Does anyone have the manual on how to reset the alarm without the code please? I can't set the alarm for my new apartment!

It is not the case that the homeowner needs their own electrician present on the the day that the team arrive to relocate the meter. It appears that there is a certain discretion allowable.

I’m having a pair of new ovens installed during a kitchen refit and I’m a little confused about how my electrician has decided to connect them. The ovens are Neff B57CS24N0Bs and are rated at 3.45kW. They came with cables naked 16A/230V and the instruction require them to be hardwired to an...

Hi All, I have a socket in the bathroom which has gone dead. I can tell this is not on a ring main as it only has one set of wires connected to it, could anyone tell me how I would find out whether it is connected directly to the CU or it is a spur off another socket. I was going to open all...

Hi, I am having my internal kitchen/dining room wall removed and on either side there are plug sockets. I am going to remove the sockets and add one to part of the wall that will remain. The only problem is the cables are not long enough. Am I OK to extend the cables using SpliceLine...
