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

Does the electrical fence line need to be fitted in a loop?

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.

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?

Happy to send photos but we want a dual fuel cooker but unsure if we have the right installation? There is a plug socket, a gas pipe and a big white switch, any help?

In what scenarios would a residual current device be necessary? What is the overall purpose of this device and is it ever legally required?

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

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.

How much to fit a new electric cooker in with all power points there?

How long do motion sensor lights last before they, well, stop detecting motion? Should they last for say 10 years or so?
