Hi all. A few years ago I built a fairly substantial shed. To cut costs, and for convenience and speed, I built it with timber joists laid on concrete blocks to keep them clear of the ground. My question is: can anyone see a problem with me taking the floor up and fill between the joists with...

Thanks for all your help; if it's OK with you, I'll report back once I've been to Ikea.

I think I'll have to go to Ikea and get them to give me a copy of the manual, or pull one out of the display so I can get a look at the rating plate.

Thanks, a double pole cooker switch for each, within 2m of the appliances. Seeing as the staff at Ikea or Whirlpool can't tell me, is it worth running out a 4mm cable in case it's bigger when it arrives?

"Energy consumption with a standard load, top and bottom heating: 1.10 kWh. Energy consumption with a standard load, forced air: 0.79 kWh."

6mm cable for the hob, 2.5mm for each of the ovens?

Thanks for the answer!

OK, I get that, so by law, every house now needs to comply to part p, which means I was sold the house in an illegal state?

As for my original post, I will run a separate circuit for the hob, but would it be easier to run a single cable from a 32A MCB to feed a mini CU with 2 16A MCBs local to the ovens? The run will be less than 10m. I guess it depends on how many ways I have on the main CU?

Thanks for your swift reply, OK, so.... I recently bought this house (my first after many years in rented quarters) and it doesn't come with a part p cert. Firstly, it didn't put me off buying it. If I got a sparky to look at it, he would recommend a full rewire (££££££££) which is pretty much...

Hi, I am about to install a new kitchen with the following appliances: http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/50123027 http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/50123008 http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/70109898 I'm unsure of the rating to get the correct size cables/MCBs...
