I would certainly be putting in 4mm at minimum. However this whole project is just in planning still. It may not go ahead at all.

Thanks. I had a suspicion that splicing into the cooker circuit would be a bad idea :D I'm certainly going to get registered electricians to give me quotes and I'm going to do a LOT more reading up. I've only been giving this any real thought for about a couple of hours and I haven't done...

It'll be at least a year before I even consider this job so don't worry, I'm just coming up with early ideas at present, this may not go ahead at all. I know how important it is to do the job right and so I wont even consider touching it unless I know exactly how it should be done. Would...

Hi folks. I'm building a workshop in the garden in the not too distant future and would like power to it. I need to be able to power a couple of ceiling lights and for instance, pillar drill/bench grinder etc.... I've considered running a waterproof extension cable to it each time I use...

Thanks mate. Where would you recommend I buy those drill bits from?

Thanks, I guess that'll have to be the drain then. The constant fall could be tough but I think I've come up with a solution. Means I would have to drill through the wall but the external pipework would only be about 30cm long or less and could be lagged. I like to do a job properly thus...

Hiah folks, first post here.... although I've been lurking here for a while. We got our old combi boiler switched to a condensing boiler 6 years ago when we got the kitchen re-done. It was fine until 2 years ago when we had the freezing problem. Basically the builders who put it in had no...
