Replacement consumer unit for elderly customers moved from under stairs cupboard to eye level in downstairs utility (with trunking bespoke to the under stairs ceiling & allowing easy cable entry / additions)!
I hope that everyone is doing okay since I last posted (& apologies for not being more active on here, bu those of you that know why that is ..). Anyway, I've just seen this article which has made my blood boil, so I'd welcome your thoughts pls.

Afternoon & I hope that everyone is fit & healthy!
I haven't tweeted in a wee while due to personal circumstances, but I do poke my nose in the room from time to time.
I just want to say a massive thank you to @DansTheEngineer for the chat & to say ... DIAMOND!!

@swannsecurity hi I have a customer who has a SWDVK-844004 Professional HD Security System, however this appears to be a leave & forget system that records uptown 30 days footage rather than activated via motion sensors is this correct & can it be upgraded to push notifications?

Does anybody recall what fast-fix / plasterboard boxes can be used to terminate / mount the Nest smoke & CO2 detectors as I know that this issue was discussed by us all previously?
Can anybody recommend me a concealed mixer valves that will:
• enable me to divert 3 outlets (bath, fixed rainhead & pop-up flexi-head); &
• adjust the temperature; &
• adjust the flow rate of the water from the outlets (mainly the rainhead & flexi-hose)?!
HELP ME PLEASE!! 😭
At least nobody was seriously injured. Let's hope everyone, & everything, is up & running again soon! 🤞
I’m absolutely gutted, the school we support in Kenya has been partially destroyed when a truck knocked down a neighbouring wall which fell onto our school. Buildings, classrooms and desks were destroyed but the children are all ok and have been discharged from hospital.

@irbheating @pbplumber @IanPlumbing any recommendations on a water softer for my house as I'm going to have a new heating system & megaflo system installed in the property ASAP but as it's in a very hard water area I wanted to reduce timescale buildup etc?
Question to all my plumber / heating engineers (& anyone else that can help), I'm renovating my 1st home & due to it being in a very hard water area I want to install a water softer. So, recommendations & advice please?
I've had it for years now & I've use it on FP, Cat 5/6, alarm etc. I prefer the finish it gives on the sheath in boxes and makes sure that the CPC is fully covered etc - also don't pull the CPC to strip etc. I also use the SWA knife & I'd highly recommend them. @jokari2read
I hope everyone is enjoying their Sunday? I'm currently moving bits into our new home & garage & I wonder whether any of my Twitter family have a Vauxhall Vivaro (pre 2014) where they could give me the measurements of the floor tie points (mine were cover with ply)? 😪

@SchneiderUK can you advise me how I can get hold of extra white 3.5mm plug caps for sockets / light switches as I've been asked by a customer due to his electrician throwing them all away apart from fitting them to one single point?

Afternoon, I've been explaining to the apprentice, of the company I'm with, that CPCs should be individually sleeved & not twisted together as its easier to identify circuits/check terminations/I&T etc.
He wants to know is a reg though? I don't think it is its just best practice?

Has anybody fitted the @ZanoControls 2 or 3 way dimmer modules? If so, do they buzz at all (I don't believe so as they're electronic dimmers) as I'm wanting to fit some as bedside light switches & I don't want them buzzing continuously, obviously?!
