so 2 gang socket, if i plug a 13amp socket for the tv, then a extension socket which will have a cctv nvr box and a led tv on it, will a 32 amp junction box suffice for a 4mm cable

attached the images, the pic you see under the floorboards, left one is the one with the junction box in the paint drawing(use to supply a single gang socket) one of cables is going into a double socket, and then the other one Is somewhere behind the plastered wall (there use to be a fused...

will a 13a junction box suffice or should i get a higher amp

that's why i was thinking to use a 4mm cable just incase

bad drawing but wago haha i dont know if it is 100% i checked behind the wall but its full of insulation. use to be a fused switch there which was removed so i think the electrician that came just connected the remaining cables there in a wago

Wanted to move this socket onto another wall use to be a single gang socket coming off the 13a junction box, The circuit is looking like this as far as I can see from under the floorboards, The CU is under the stairs in the kitchen so i can't tell what cables from the sockets are coming back to...

i've just pulled some floorboards up this is whats under, so i'm assuming there's a connection point next to the socket on the wall which has a single wire in it, the bit i've drawn next to the socket is where the switched fuse spur was but they removed the socket since we dont have the...

gordon benit I was just thinking might be a better idea since the wiring is a mess for the ones we've been discussing until i get under the floorboards to see where everything is going. Other side of the wall is finished kitchen tiles, socket, I was thinking open the socket and then drill...

I don't have a multi meter at the moment do u recommend I buy a mm or a voltage and continuity tester? and do you recommend any budget friendly ones for the mm. don't worry I test everything with a fluke pen before touching them and turn off all the electrics at the CU, I haven't touched any...

what to do to fix it? also I'm thinking maybe there's 2 radial circuits coming off this 32a mcb but then wouldn't it need to be a 4mm cable since its a 32a. I will check it tomorrow with removing 1 of the wires from the cb to see what is getting power then, but no it shud be 1x MCB/RCBO = 1x...

which part :D the sheathing is dirty from the dust, haven't checked whats in that tape yet haha assuming an old connector block

Ok so I did some digging downstairs sockets are on a B32 mcb with 2 live wires going into the CB, upstairs is also on a B32 upstairs sockets + doorbell, 2 live wires. The ones downstairs there's 4 sockets on this circuit 3 are in place and wired up, just the one you see in the picture in that...

wanted to add a socket to the wall for a tv on the wall/stand: by taking it from the socket thats upstairs. (is it ok to do that and if theres 1 cable only going into that socket am I correct in assuming that it's a radial circuit or it's a spur on a ring which then I wouldn't be able to, ill...

oh ok srry mate i thought u did at first but then got it twisted, yh its awful really old wiring these bricks are probably older than me :D

not my wiring as I said i can go take a pic of the newly connected ones if ur that desperate but rather not its too hot :] won't be able to rewire the whole lot either since it's only this room thats being replastered
