Delroy, don't stop making vids. Your efforts are appreciated and your content and presentation is improving as the weeks go by. I appreciate you Del.. A lot of us do!
Delroy wago 224-101, and 224-201 are designed for lights and very economical on space try them out. Some of the 224 are also designed for high heat use as well.
It’s really good that you highlighted the problem with the MCB connections. I believe the manufacturers have addressed this problem now, but of course there are thousands installed. It would not surprise me if it was this,along with doubling up of the tails in the isolators on the plastic split consumer units that has been causing the increase in fires in the plastic consumer units.
I’ve been using those slimline wagos and find the same issue so I wrap alittle insulated tape across the levers which help. Thanks for the great videos
Same here - until we moved to an all electric house and a village with no gas. I took five of those things out, by the time I'd taken the third one out upstairs I was carrying the bricks one at a time downstairs 🤣 We had some new Quantum heaters put in. what a world of difference from the old school storage heaters., and some solar panels to lighten the bills a bit.
crazy to think most of this wiring would not pass inspection in the states...especially all the exposed wires and "juego" connectors for the splices. I have seen those fail time and time again....looks like you take pride in your work!
These vids are Interesting. 21:34 The plastic in the window reveal is probably an insulated cavity closer that fits between each leaf. They form part of building regulations Part L and shouldn't usually be cut as you can get cold bridging that could lead to a dew point in the cavity and then damp.
Delroy talking about light swiches have you ever worked on a long corridor like in a hospital where they have the lighting staged with what we call "Travelling" circuits, Example: Turn switch 1 on and first lot of Flourescent tubes come on, get to switch 2 and second lot of lights go on , first lot switch off and so and so forth down the corridor and it works in reverse order. If you have come across this and know how it's wired could you let me know. I'll send and e-mail to you just in case.
Did you try to ask the client with the light fitting with water in where the water was coming from to make the mcb trip? As they could have a dripping pipe or careless person in the bathroom
Great videos you’re intermediate switches there are called 3 way switches at each end and if you have a third one between the two it’s called a 4 way switch here in the US just a little different terminology
when de-energising or energising a board, you should de-energise all mcb's first, RCD's second, then the main switch, then reverse to energise Whenever I'm removing a busbar I always unscrew the MCB's to the maximum, you will never miss the busbar then
There's no need to do any of that. if you look at the symbols on the main isolator you can see the load-break switch symbol meaning it's designed to withstand switching under load.
you didnt show how you done that water heating control box black extension lead on white skirting Whos idea was that ? tripping RCD what was exactly wrong with the circuit ?
Delroy - thank you for putting these videos together. You are a real down to earth (sorry CPC 😂) guy who I am sure we can all relate to. I love your unpretentious style.👍👍 Ye Gods that light fitting at 34:50 - never mind CORONA I hope you were wearing full PPE that place is a health hazard - has she not heard of cleaning?
Go-deh, marsa Delroy. Howevea, mi affi cuss yu bout yu han dem @0.56! Coaco Butta miss yu, sah! Nu mek yu mumma si dis ya video! Box a come! ----------------------------------------------- English translation: Well done, Delroy However, dear boy, I must draw your attention to the rather stark condition of your hands @0.56! A dab of Coaco Butter was missed today, sir! Be sure your dear mother does not view this video or you'll be sure to receive a thick ear!

I love the way you show the “simpler” jobs as well as the more technical ones. I always learn something new in each video. Thanks Delroy!
Still doing well with DIY video Del. Works well. Love your laid-back approach :)
Your a legend Delroy, always inspiring 👍
Thanks, Delroy another great little video
LAP carp!
Superb video's Delroy.

Appreciate the comment
Great video

Great videos love watching them...learn loads
Spirit orbs in that last video
Cool to see inside a storage heater. Thanks for teaching the new generation 👍
You'd never move one that size on your own. They are beasts.
A dentists type mirror is also good to use to check the buzz bar pins are in place after screwing back
It’s been a while since I’ve seen a storage heater , I remember that brand from back in the day

Hello Fork busbar should be used for this type of MCB .There is a dedicated slot for this type of busbar just above clamp terminal.
Delroy talking about light swiches have you ever worked on a long corridor like in a hospital where they have the lighting staged with what we call "Travelling" circuits, Example: Turn switch 1 on and first lot of Flourescent tubes come on, get to switch 2 and second lot of lights go on , first lot switch off and so and so forth down the corridor and it works in reverse order.

Interesting. I've never seen a storage heater taken apart before.
Did you try to ask the client with the light fitting with water in where the water was coming from to make the mcb trip? As they could have a dripping pipe or careless person in the bathroom
Haha, love the hole at ten min, hope you remembered to seal up your hole afterwards and maintained your fire rating!! 😋
Had a TH-cam ad from him earlier!
Apparently they come under a few different brands, and others will fit and are type approved as they're just rebadged.
the pendant you reaplace it on the last job off the video the lady should reaplce the 2 off them at the Same time as always top work Mr delory.
Your right about the wagos the slim ones the lever is not as strong as the chunky ones
This was a great video!!!!
Hello from Louisville Kentucky USA
Work in a Screwfix warehouse; never seen those mcbs or fuseboards
Great videos you’re intermediate switches there are called 3 way switches at each end and if you have a third one between the two it’s called a 4 way switch here in the US just a little different terminology
Nice one Delroy.
Quality job del with the light fitting some one done a dodgy job
Hi delroy tanx for the upload what do you use to chase walls angle grinder or hammer and chisel?
i worked at his other flat and it was a bit wrong there ... LOLOL nice, spat my tea out lol
Your a star delroy

On the timer box for a boiler why didn't you physically we see or show us how you wired it in. That's the finer details that would help
you didnt show how you done that water heating control box
black extension lead on white skirting Whos idea was that ?
tripping RCD what was exactly wrong with the circuit ?
Great video as always keep it up good job
He seems quite good.
i see a hager aswell how come you never changed that as mixing mcbs is not good, good video
@@darrenqualters2341 the customer purchased one off ebay and he changed it did you not watch the video 🤔🤔
@@darrenqualters2341 fair play Darren 🤗🤗
16:00 Hold on, I have to pause, my head is ringing.
How do you price for a job like that. That longer than you thought. Do you charge hourly for that and fault finding
Delroy - thank you for putting these videos together. You are a real down to earth (sorry CPC 😂) guy who I am sure we can all relate to. I love your unpretentious style.👍👍 Ye Gods that light fitting at 34:50 - never mind CORONA I hope you were wearing full PPE that place is a health hazard - has she not heard of cleaning?
9:18 I imagine someone there gets a lot of blocked toilets!
Never seen LAP breakers before
I'm starting a diploma in electrical engineering soon I'm abit nervous
Any good electricians in West Sussex? I'm scared I'll end up with someone on a par with a kitchen fitter?!
Thumbs Up
Lap is a poor make I never used I go for Wylex Hager me or Schneider fuse boxes
Go-deh, marsa Delroy.
Howevea, mi affi cuss yu bout yu han dem @0.56!
Coaco Butta miss yu, sah!

Never heard of Lap
Personally, I think what it rhymes with is more in keeping with the quality...
@@charlieecosta5592 😀
All lap is shite
@@ovepot The LED lamps are OK. They're rebranded Enlite.
If only every fault find was a loose connection at every electrical point. Utter nonsense
