    Post pictures of all pipework between isolation valve and cistern.

    Leaking toilet soil pipe when going into internal wall :(

    How are you turning the water supply to the toilet off? Is the bowl still full when the leak stops? If so, it's not your soil pipe

    Insulated stud wall electrics

    Leave a 15mm gap between plasterboard and insulation and fix 25mm boxes direct to insulation. I take it they're 95x45 studs? I can't see there being a great deal of benefit in having insulation hanging out the back of the studs, if there's any water ingress there it'll soak your boards and...

    Lighting Control Board

    Depends how much of a stickler your electrician is but he wouldn't be able to dead test the circuits unless the relays have a manual override (doesn't look like they do). You could feed the coils with a separate supply but that'd mean your lights go out with the sockets (for example).

    Lighting Control Board

    Are you wanting independent light control or group control of all lights currently switched in each room?

    What are the room controllers out of interest?

    Taylor Wimpey new build sockets/plugs query

    I'm no housebasher but imagine 25mm is the standard because it fits in nicely with dot and dab.

    Mira Advanced Atl tripping

    Cheers for the update. Maybe worth going for a low pressure model next time, electric showers are never that great though!

    Lack of supplementary bonding - what’s the danger ?

    Yeah, apart from drowning I'm yet to hear a good reason for not falling asleep in the bath.

    Adding a second socket to a room off of another socket.. Is it really this 'easy'?

    You need a multimeter, set to continuity and check red-red and black-black. If it beeps you're in business.

    Lack of supplementary bonding - what’s the danger ?

    R1+R2 = 0.5 and Ze = 0.3? I don't know where you got this number from. A parallel path reduces the resistance it doesn't increase it, regardless it's negligible.

    Lack of supplementary bonding - what’s the danger ?

    Not sure your maths is adding up there. To get the prospective fault current you need to know the Ze and R1 R2, the Zs. To work out the touch voltage at that fault you would need to know R1 and R2 independently e.g. if they were both 0.4 ohms the touch voltage would be 230/2 = 115V. I'm not...

    I stand corrected

    Lack of supplementary bonding - what’s the danger ?

    Yes you'd bond from towel rail to cast iron bath for instance.

    Lack of supplementary bonding - what’s the danger ?

    Why would you bond a class 2 fitting?
