When I posted the question about water pipe tracer cables I knew nothing about the subject. The feed back I got gave me enough information to look into it properly. It is a heating element run along the water pipes controlled by a thermostat to stop the pipes freezing in cold weather as there...

The links supplied by Doc Hudson are also very informative, many thanks. I now know something about the subject, Regards Terry.

I will re-check exactly what the cable conscist of and come back to this question, but thanks for your reply anyway, Terry

I served my electrical apprenticeship with a local council working in people's house carrying out re-wires an general repairs. When the building industry collapsed in the early eighties I left the indusry and went on to do other things. When I looked back after twenty years it was the best job I...

I recently had to remove some cables to allow a roof of a building to be removed and recontructed. Some of the cables I removed were tracer cables running inside the lagging on water pipes. I have now been asked to re-instate them. I have never had anything to do with these things in the past...

I was in a B&Q store today in Eastkilbride ( just outside Glasgow) they had a pallet with buckets of electrical stuff on offer. 3 single pole switches for

Hallo I am Terry I came across this forum on one the mentioned search engines but I cannot remember which one. Although I am a qualified electician I do not work at it full time and I like this forum to keep in touch with things and sometimes to check out things that I am not sure of. I like...

I am carrying out some work in a house. It involves reconnecting 2 downlighters fitted in a recently renovated shower room. The connections can be accessed from the attic. The downlighters have metal casings but no earth connection. It appears as if the connections (live and neutral) are totally...

I was involved in a slight accident about 18 months ago. I was sitting in my car in my car in the supermarket carpark. A lady reversed out of her parking place and hit my pride and joy. My Favourite ordinary Ford Escort. It is ordinary but I like it. Any there was scraped paint work on the front...

It came by recorded delivery yesterday and as I was out I had to collect it at the PO today. A big brown envelope. I took it home, made myself a coffee and sat down outside feeling a bit nervous. Inside was a pass result and the C&G certificate itself. I was suprised and delighted. A very...

Good Comments- Thanks. The OSG does says more sockets than I have quoted for. Although the rooms and the kitchen are not that big, however I will show the client the appropriate page in the OSG and give him the chance to decide on more if he wants. Terry !!!!!

Thanks for the comments. I only had a quick look because I was there to price for the rewire and I had limited Access to the main board. However - It is an ex council house in East Kilbride (outside Glasgow). It is a mid-terrace house and a big housing scheme- Council houses dont do TT...

No you have misunderstood me about the carpets being up. Job includes lifting all carpets, floorboards etc. and refitting and relaying all carpets to a good standard.
