Lidl have a set of step drills on sale right now if that helps. £4

the specs of that one seem to suggest the cable is CCA though.

Don't forget to add a couple of cat5 or cat6 cables to the coax/hdmi run. Easier to do it now rather than later! Coax/hdmi cables ideally need a sweeping bend rather than a tight bend about the radius of a tin of beans is ok. That is achievable in a double back box . Also bear in mind that if...

Our double back boxes don't have screw positions in the middle like the orange ones pictured. Section 6 of the installation instructions shows a metal plate that only fits a single box, but and it's a long shot, if your existing box has fixing positions at the top and bottom of the box as some...

I might even still have a brand new one in a cupboard somewhere!....

If you can dress the cables neatly in the back box it might work. Show us a pic of the back of the switch.

This one? https://www.ikea.com/gb/en/p/lanespelare-ring-light-with-phone-holder-10514358/

What were they thinking drilling through a power brick like that??!! How is the cable connected internally? Be careful as I can see exposed remains of the plug pins that might still be live. That brick with the cable through a drilled hole needs to be replaced and a socket fitted to the cable...

Is there any reason as to why the new sockets can't be "normal" 13a sockets rather than schucko? You could just move the internal socket the outside of the cabinet.

you could replicate the old switch using plate and switch modules from click scolmore one of these https://www.toolstation.com/click-mode-10a-switch/p10481 and replace one of the switches with one of these https://www.toolstation.com/click-mode-grid-module/p83157

I dont buy the cheapest stuff for my own use but not having heard of arlec I was intrigued. these are all brand new if sealed plastic packaging (that you need industrial scissors to open!...) I did buy a couple of 13A sockets with usb outlets in stainless steel for less than a pound each though.

As title , has anyone used these and what do they think. My local discount shop has these on clearance with shiny bronze metal sockets for 58p !! twin dimmer switches £1.28

that's is clever. Bookmarked!

You don't actually have to have a switch in the feed to the oven and hob.

As said the back box needs to be fixed correctly to the wooden surface. You can see where the manufacturer has provided fixing points in this pic nicked from the Toolstation site. They don't all have to be used!
