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

We keep getting a horn like sound from the pipe when we turn on the hot taps in both upstairs bathroom (mostly from here on shower and sink) and in the kitchen sink. It happens when we first turn it on, and we have to turn the pressure down for it to stop and slowly turn it up and then it's fine we had the boiler serviced recently
I have an iron main water pipe serving our property but flats have been built over the pipe so the pipe is situated under our neighbours drive way. Bristol water have said we can cap the iron pipe off and divert it up into our property and connect it to an internal stop tap.

It’s the first time I’ve ever have come across this issue within thesny years of living in my property the work to replace a pipe under a concrete slab foundation doesn’t sound cheap. What are my options was Bristol water safe to say this obviously they know their stuff more than me.
