Thanks everyone for all your feedback. Much appreciated.

Please advise:- I am considering providing power to my shed, 15 metres from the back of the house for lighting and use of no more than 1 power tool (drill e.g) at a time. and am looking at 2 options:- 1.I have 2 spare fuseways and intend to use 1 for this. From a (30a)fuseway I intend to...

Can someone clarify and advise please? I would like to know if I can run 2 spurs, each supplying 2 SINGLE sockets from a double socket (currently used for kettle and toaster) with no other spurs? The spurs will supply power to 1. Washing machine 2. Extractor hood, therefore not in constant use...

Thanks to everyone for all your kind resources and input into my query especially Ban & Dingbat. Cheers

I recently bought an Ikea single oven too, are you sure it is rated at 1.7kw and you are not confusing this with 1.7kwh? I ask this because from my Ikea oven manual it states 1.7kwh.

Thanks for the prompt responses guys, having looked at the wiring layout, I have decided to change one of the sockets on the kitchen ring to a cooker control unit with an integral socket and run an outlet connection from there to below the back of the oven housing unit. As the oven has an output...
