I'm converting a warehouse that was an exhibition space into a trampoline park. Need to: - Replace twenty flouro tube lights with LED equivalents - Move six plug sockets 6 inches to the left (currently surface mounted with cabling encased in trunking) Contractor says we need to rip out wiring and start from scratch because: - Current wire is a grey twin and earth that causes excess smoke and is only suitable for domestic. - Current wiring is attached to redundant old pipework and ceiling trusses (4mtrs off the ground) by cable ties. - Some back office wiring is surface mounted and not running inside trunking. He says “even if our electricians test everything and it is ok, if it doesn't meet regs Building Control may not accept it due to the extent of install you are carrying out they may request everything is replaced" Sound like it is necessary or could the existing wiring remain? Site was certified safe with Napit Electrical Installation report in 2018 Ta

I have carport with consumer unit installed. There is an existing spur run with armoured cable to twin socket in adjacent shed. Sadly there is no lighting circuit. Can I install consumer unit to replace socket and wire lights and couple of socket pairs to replace original spur socket.

What are the best companies in the UK to purchase pendant lights from?

I would like to have a double socket installed in a small room/cupboard (7ft x 7ft approx) that has my electricity meter, fuse box etc on 1 of the walls. Is this a reasonably straightforward job and approximately how much would it cost? Any advice and or ballpark figures would be greatly appreciated!

What is a smart video doorbell? Is it worth getting one and how much do they tend to cost?

Why does one of our spotlights flicker when the switch is off?

What would cause appliances / boiler / internet etc not to work but the lights to work. The fuse box switches seem fine

My emersion tank aint heating up so i got no hotwater what coukd it be

I have a standard wall socket thats always worked fine - however it now doesnt seem to turn off, whether the switch is in the ‘on’ or ‘off’ position. I.e whatever is plugged in continues to be powered whichever position the switch is in! Is it safe to keep using the socket??

I'm currently refitting a kitchen which a cowboy made a real mess out of, the customer is hoping to recover some of what she paid to the previous contractor. The fitter had installed an integrated fridge freezer unit covering two fused spurs, and the outlet for the fridge, they had also left the outlet for the dishwasher behind the dishwasher unit (which was fed from one of the two spurs behind the fridge). I've always been told the aforementioned practise is illegal, or at very least in breach of regulations. Can anyone confirm if this is correct, and point me in the right direction of some literature to verify this? There were also sockets above the gas hob, and within 300mm of the sink. Thanks in advance 👍🏻
