DANGER! I have so far watched 30 seconds of this tutorial and the first and biggest mistake this bloke makes is NOT (informing us of the absolute priority of) switching off the ring circuit before he starts any work.
Had a qualified spark fit, test and pass a new fuse board, it kept tripping the main switch. So after having a look myself, he’d wired the shower cable completely wrong. The live was wired to the upstairs ring, yet the neutral was wired to the downstairs neutral bar. And yes I’m fully aware I shouldn’t be going into the fuse board. But I did it safely and made sure all connections were tightened to the correct torque. But because of that it does make me question the words professional and qualified.
Are you allowed the run cables across the wall like that? I was under the impression they had to be straight up or down to the top or bottom of the walll?
Most impressive part was seeing all those used flat head screws going straight in with an impact without the bit jumping out & smashing into the doorframe!😅
Nice video mate. Could i use undercoat plaster instead of bonding to fill out the chase? Got some spare which would save buying a whole bag of bonding for a small job
Hi can I have your help please. I am painting my doors and skirting boards with the satin durable paint. It currently has gloss or satin paint. Do I need to sand or would it be okay to just paint it. I have an electrical sand machine but it seems a lot to use! 😂 is it okay to just manually sand please help I would appreciate it
Never thought I’d hear an electrician say “plug socket “. Plugs are plugs, sockets are sockets. There’s no such thing as a plug socket. Call it a mains socket, or a mains outlet, anything but a plug socket !
Thanks for the video. Please, when you put text or caption on the screen next time, put or apply Stroke on the text. Stroke gives the text black or white colour around your text. This is because, if the background is the same as the text, it prevents the part of the text being merged with the background Hope I managed to clarify my point. Thanks
Hi! I am changing a single socket with a fuse (washing machine) and connecting to a single socket fused (dishwasher ) but red light in washing machine is staying on even when turn off Rob
Chasing looks sweet. Never thought of using a multitool for that job. What's the brand? I tried Dewalt and Bosch and the Dewalt burnt the motor out in three months. Bosch is ok but not amazing.
Saw a genius hack of doing the same thing but by removing a piece of skirting and drilling behind the drywall and skirting. No need for such a long tedious procedure. Run the cable down, drill through the studs if needed and make a small hole wherever you want your socket and drop or drag up your cables. Put back the skirting, caulk the gap if any and you’re done.
Can I just confirm something. So the earth cable running from the top and ending atbthe bottom. Is it connected with the other earthcables at the bottom and they all going inside socket right?
