Leak through bathroom light fitting
Hello, I live in a flat and the flat above me had a burst pipe in their bathroom late overnight and water poured down through my bathroom light fitting into my bathroom for over an hour or more I would say. A plumber came out and has fixed the leak and the water has finally stopped coming through my light. I've turned off the power for the light at the mains, it is one switch for all lights in the flat. I wanted to check how long should I let the power stay off for to dry out the light fitting and should I avoid taking a shower in case it adds extra moisture or would that not be a problem? The light fitting is a 4 bulb spotlight fitting so I don't think any water actually got into the electric wiring part it was all coming through gaps around the bulbs. Thank you in advance
Induction hob fitment to replace a gas hob
How much might it cost to install a 30 amp fuse for an induction hob? We have a spare position for this on the board which incidentally is the same one since the house was built (2000) The circuit board is in the garage which has a door leading into the kitchen. We currently just have a gas hob.

Guidance for PAT testing in Belfast
I am a business owner from Belfast and I would like to have some PAT testing and any other appropriate electrical safety inspections performed in my factory. Do the same rules apply to Northern Ireland as to the rest of the UK regarding the likes of PAT and EICR tests/certificates? If not, what are the differences here that I should consider? As a business owner in Northern Ireland, are there any electrical safety tests in particular that I am legally obligated to have undertaken?
What size armoured cable to shed
I was thinking of supplying electricity to light up the shed that will obviously require a switch , two double sockets to use a small electric convector heater or plug in an electric drill or saw and a radio. What size armoured cable will I need and all the other components to get this done. I am having a kitchen extension so that would be the perfect time as the cable can be fitted whilst accessibility will be easy.
