I've found a junction box in the ceiling now, need a bit more time to retrieve it to see if I can move the pantry switch to permanent live rather than switched as you suggest. At the time I went in to hospital for an op, when I got back to the house I was renovating the whole thing before...

Hi, Sorry for the long winded post but I'm trying to get my head around the following... When I did up my kitchen a few years ago, I asked the sparky to install a separate light switch and light fitting in the pantry so that I could turn the light on independently. Light fitting and switch...

I was just thinking of the FCU as an isolation point within the garage. Will have to check the fuse sizes. I take it the DP isolates both the live and neutral?

Hi, I have a garage which takes its power supply from an RCD protected MCB in the main house CU via SWA cable. In the garage is an older style fuse board with 1x output to a 1x double socket and 1x which goes to a single light fitting. My idea was to take a spur from the power...

Ok, thanks again for all your responses :D

Yes it's a shower pump and has never given me any trouble. Only info I can find about it on the net states: 'Pump requires 230volt AC supply fused at 3amps via a double pole isolator with contact gap of at least 3mm'. It's a Bristan Varispeed 50 -...

Thanks again for the reply - All sorted! I terminated the 'spare live' as indicated and hey presto, everything came back to life including the FCU. So it looks like those two wires had just been looped and pressed in together without a screw for 17 years before finally working their...

So I checked the master bedroom switch which is a 2 gang 2 way as there are 2 ceiling pendant lights and found this which looks horrific but I'm no expert: The wire which loops from one side to the other didn't even have a screw in it on one side but the lights still worked. Wires...

Thanks for the response, I was guessing at a connection issue somewhere along the line, just confused as to how the lights and the FCU for the shower pump both seem to have been affected at the same time. I will check the connections and see if anything looks to be amiss. The cable which...

Morning, An upstairs FCU and a number of lights have stopped working but nothing has tripped in the CU downstairs In the airing cupboard is an immersion heater with hard wired digital timer (working) and a shower pump with an FCU (not working and no light on the FCU) My bedroom/ensuite...

Question about under cabinet led lights. Firstly the scenario: I have a new kitchen and the electrician installed downlighters which are operated via 1 switch on a 2 gang switch on the wall. The cable from the second switch runs to the wall cabinets ready to accept the connection of the...

Thanks for your responses everyone, in response to the questions, I'm not sure what the top soil pipe is for and I hadn't really thought much about it until now :?: The only thing I can think of is ventage for the downstairs loo? The soil pipe for the existing loo just goes straight along...

Hi, I'm looking for some advice on suitable fittings for the setup in this little ensuite. The current toilet (cistern pictured) will be removed along with the soilpipe up to the point of the t-piece (circled red). The pipe coming through the wall is from the toilet in the main...
