I'm in the process of laying a new base in an extension. Before I get hold of the building inspector for advice, I thought I'd try here first. I understand that the normal procedure is to lay celotex/kingspan over the concrete block before screeding. My questions is can I lay the...

Hi, Thanks for the feedback anyway.

Hi, The instructions I have show two types of installation labled 1N and 2N. The one I used, as described in my question, appears to show all three lives looped, although there isn't any extra copper to achieve this, although I can use some cooker cable to achieve this is suppose. The other...

Hi All, I've just installed a hob but only two rings are working - Looking at the wiring diagram it looks like Earth Terminal - L1-L2-L3 Terminals - Neutral Terminal I've only added the live to L1. Is this my problem? Should all three be looped together? Regards John

Hi Crafty, Doh! I think I've got it now. Neutral and Earth to socket, Live to L1 and link from the opposite side of the switch to live on socket. Thanks for all your help....................

Hi Crafty1128, As I understand it, the Neutral and Earth are connected to the socket and the Live is attached to Live 1 (L1). A link wire then runs from L1 to one of the the unmarked terminals on the opposite side of the switch and then a link wire from that terminal to the Live on the...

Hi, The make on the outside is Technova IP44. However, both the internal switch and socket are made byMarlanvil. Hope that helps. If anyone would like to see a picture, please email me on [email protected] as I'm not able to upload a picture to this site.

Hi, Unfortunately I cannot attached an image however, the back is laid out as follows looking down at it: 1. The Switch - Two terminals on the top, unmarked. Two terminals at the bottom marked L2 on left and L1 on the right 2. The Socket - Simply three terminals, Live, Neutral and Earth...

Hi All, I picked up an all weather plug socket with a neon switch. I assumed that it would be the same as a normal socket, i.e. e/l/n in the right place, but this one has a neon switch which would appear to be similar to a light switch, i.e. L1 L2 and 2 terminals on the top. Am I right that I...

Hi, I've just removed an old conservatory from the back of the house and where it joined the house, it has left long lines of brown mastic. I've tried using mastic eater, but that hasn'et really helped apart from making a mess. Any ideas how to remove it?

If I run a spur off an existing socket using a 13a FCU first off, can I daisy chain other sockets from the new socket. i.e existing socket-fcu-new socket-new socket-etc,
