Hi guys. Thanks for your answers. At the end of the day anything I do will not comply with current electrical standards. I want it to be safe and that is the reason why I am asking for your advice. If hell awaits me, let it be. What aboud using RCD sockets instead of normal ones...

Hi guys. Thank you for your answers. I am aware that the consumer unit is old but I never had any problems. I will consider upgrading it in the future as it looks dated and probably not safe according to current standards. Would you please advise if lollipop circuit and 4mm2 cable is safe enough...

Hi guys. Would you be able to help me? I am trying to replace my bathroom fan but I am not an electrician. First time in my life I see electrical connectors that are not labelled and that is my problem (or maybe I don't know what am doing). My old fan connection is: switched fused spur -->...
