I have been clearing out my cellar making some space to do some homebrewing. Noticed a junction box with its lid(cover) sagging pushed the lib back up and it fell off. Looking ta the center screw the center screw is cracked so half is in and half is out. Am I allowed to switch of the electric to the ring (I have traced the wires back across the cellar celling to the consumer unit) and put a new junction box in? Or is this a step up from moving a socket so notifiable and thus means only a qualified sparky can do it. I could just squirt some araldite in the screw hole and put the screw back in but that seems a little shabby, how would a future electrician get in to the box. Would a future electrician need to open the box, been here 13 years and never had an electrician in the house ?
You can replace the junction box yourself as long as you are competent to do so as it is not notifiable. You can replace it with an ordinary round 32 amp junction box as it is accessible, but would probably be better using an Ashley J803, incase you board the ceiling. https://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Produc...MIlMywsp-n6gIVQeztCh1lhAghEAQYAyABEgKG1_D_BwE
Thanks, was going to as it seems making safe something has got to be better than leaving or bodging. Interesting you say incase I board the ceiling. I don't like all the steam going up to where all the wires and the junction box is so was looking at doing something.
As we all know in the city like dubai we all need electrician. For inspection and testing you need a professional electric worker. if you need to upgrade lighting system you should follow electrician dubai . for cctv installing you need a electrician too. electrical panel update should be done with skilled and experienced electrician .
You not seen the diamond encrusted Solid Gold VDE sparkey set yet?............ EXPORT only version Pity they don't WagoBoxes in Gold....Only RED Black Grey ETC
But do they sell a gold plated, diamond encrusted torque driver and solid gold socket set ? if not then the catalogues a bit naff. You can convert wago's to gold colour with some gold leaf, a task often left to the apprentice
Graphite spray is quicker & Cheaper Would the Junction Now be notifiable to the house insurance company as a expensive item
But what about a JB that are studded with precious stones. EH JB that are surface mounted to show off the bling. Easy to install Loads of $$
Very hard surface mounting them because there's a shortage of gold screws, unless you used screw gold caps. As you can tell, a lot of thought has gone into this, part of my get rich scheme if I ever end up in Dubai
They wont see the mounting screws, they inside the JB...use SF gold screw they never know Make up special range for superstars with too much dosh wannabee rappers like Snoop doggy Doo they buy stuff like this
Who ??? Snoop doggy Doo ? No wonder I'm skint, I'm mixing with the wrong sort of music people... classical, hinge and bracket...... sheesh
