The light fitting is screwed to the wall, with four screws. Moving it up is awkward as these are perm live light with an integral switch, any higher and you won't be able to reach them unless you have a step :LOL: I've heat shrinked the exposed insulators back into the wall and down behind the...

Hi all, I have a wall light where the feed comes out from the plaster and down into the back of the light fitting. This is the top of the light fitting, about 2.2 meters off the ground; The three connect via inline wagos, into another flex and into the light body, with the metal body of the...

That all makes sense. I assume you could run each appliance on 4mm, given none are over 5kw. The space behind the oven is a bit of a mess, it has an in wall twin gang plug socket thats been disconnected/removed. The 6mm comes down through the wall into that empty socket patress, then to a...

Ah so that wasn't anything to worry about then?

After isolating the power I did inspect inside the brown junction box, the wiring was somewhat unconventional. The 6mm had been removed of some of it's insulation in the middle, to allow each conductor to be screwed into the junction box terminals, with the still insulated tails going off to...

Thank you all for the replies, this is all very informative and I appreciate your insight. Perhaps the kitchen fitter was being a little alarmist, he did suggest I'd probably find a sparkie happy to do whatever, but he just wouldn't be happy with it himself. The existing hardwired 32amp feed...

The hob will be a Bosch 13amp plug in kind, not hard wired, so in the region of 3kw, designed for a standard plug. The oven will be in the region of 4.3kw. I haven't finalised my plans yet as I wanted to make sure what I imagined was sensible. The kitchen fitter replacing the worktops suggested...

Hi all, I recently purchased a house with an old but usable kitchen. The electric hob was very old, knackered and an odd size. It was hard wired, but only 2.6kw. The eye level built in oven had been replaced with a built under (with feet), also hard wired. Both hard wired to the junction box...
