that's very helpful thanks - so am going to have to move the hob about 100mm left of the boiler (50mm for clearance + 50mm as the boiler is actually 300mm deep and the gap under it 250mm) - this means i will have the move a socket at the other side of the hob or that will also overhang ! (lost...

Lo I have a wall mounted gas glow worm condensing boiler professionally installed and on the wall at right angles have a gas hob - the gas hob is not directly under the boiler (but its not far away) there is 250mm to the wall and the boiler overhangs that space no real choice over location...

thanks for all your replies - I was measuring the 100mm from the bottom of the socket so that is helpful glad the 300mm is only a guideline as if i move 300mm from hob i will be less than 300mm from the sink. I have used the hob in this position before removing all - and did not have any...

could someone please update me on this one ? I have read that 150mm or 6 inches is acceptable to have sockets above worktop but ideally I only want 100mm or 4inches as the sockets are in place but as we are tall want to raise the hieight of worktop. Is there a requirement to have 150mm or is it...

I have a relatively small kitchen (11 ft x 11 ft) ish - the floor is uneven (there are trees next door!) and covered with ashphalt which has been poured on but does not always reach the edges - underneath I think it is concrete. I had thought of using self levelling flooring compound though...

thank you

Please could someone clarify the rules for me. I would like to move a wall socket in my kitchen (downstairs sockets ring) - the cables were installed professionally (well you could call it that!) but were dangled behind some wall cladding I have now removed. Before I plasterboard the ceiling...

the cable goes between the wall space up into the attic and down - what is the highest W shower I could use - the last was prob 8 but they seem to be 8.5 now I meant 30 whatevers sorry

the shower I want to use is 8.7 - 9.5 at 230-240 and the box says it needs 30MA

sorry do I mean 6 mm cable not 6amp !

I have removed a gainsborough sovereign - possibly 8kw but no sticker - got that from shower doc website - the cable is possibly 6amp ? black and red but goes into a 32 amp fuse on a seperate circuit on the rcd box - can i replace with a 9.5 kw ? or will the lights go out ?
