    Rewiring a vintage light fitting

    Does a vintage pendent light (art deco, I think) need rewiring to be fitted safely? What do I need do to make sure it works with modern wiring?

    Power to garage

    Hi, My garage has what appears to be a partially and likely badly completed electricity supply carried out by previous owner. There's a consumer unit with breakers fitted in the garage which is wired to several lights and plug sockets. I don't see any indication that this is connected to the house and so has no supply. There is an armoured cable coming from the consumer unit and out the garage roof. However, it goes back into the garage and is badly spliced to a old lawnmower cable. I think the intention by the previous owner was to plug this armoured cable into a socket in the kitchen to supply the garage. (Could be wrong but that's what it looks like.) What would be required to make this safe and functional? Thanks

    Electric Shower Removal

    The electric shower is an eye sore in my opinion lol. I was wondering if i can remove the box completely from the wall and just connect a new shower to my bath taps without using the electric at all.

    Installing AFDDs in Domestic Property

    I'm a homeowner with a 1954 property that was rewired in the 90s. I'm looking to upgrade the consumer unit and have been considering AFDDs on all circuits to help protect the older wiring. But I’ve noticed many electricians seem reluctant to install AFDDs in domestic properties. Aside from the cost, is there a reason for the hesitation? Are you concerned about false tripping, callbacks, or the complexity of diagnosing issues? Or is it just that AFDDs are still relatively unfamiliar tech for some in the trade? I’d really appreciate hearing from electricians who’ve installed them—especially in older homes. Are they worth the investment in your view?
