I just unscrewed a few metal faced light switches to paint some walls (after turning off the circuit) and it looks like some wires have come loose, even though I was pretty gentle. The first pic, there is a brown cable near the bottom of the switch, and the second pic there is a loose brown and...

Hi Community, I hope you can help with this one..? My Ideal Isar HE24 recently failed. Hot water, but no heating. Home insurance sent a man - he said the LP711 timeswitch was at fault and did a temporary fix as an override. So now, when the boiler is switched on the central heating is on...

In my new extension a qualified electrician will be extending the ring main of my existing downstairs circuit into my new extension. He lives nearby and to save him the work, I'll be clipping the T&E cable on the wall in runs to the various sockets (in the safe zones of course) as well as light...
