Apologies if this has been covered elsewhere, I couldn’t find anything similar so I’ve started a new thread. This is a question about the maximum height of timber framed patio doors. I am about to have my kitchen window converted into patio doors. The total height of the opening will be approx...

Guys - problem solved. It turns out it was a spur from a plug socket in the kitchen, I took a floorboard up and followed the cable. Hidden behind a cupboard was a fuse panel/socket thing (as suggested by ETAF - thanks!). The fuse had blown. Thanks again for all your input.

No, there was a motion switch on the bottom of the cabinet that controlled the light, that was in the cabinet, so constant power going up to that point (the cabinet has long since been removed).

Ah sorry, misunderstood. I was told that it was a spur off another cable. It isn’t going to a fused switch, the cable just come out of the floor and used to go into the old bathroom cabinet that had a built in shaver socket and light. The cabinet was removed and the cable kept so that the new...

Yes, shaver socket is spurred off. I can’t see how the connection at the consumer unit end could be the issue, nothing was touched there and power was consistently going where it should right up to me connecting this shaver socket. Not saying it’s not the problem, it just seems a huge...

I tested it by holding a power tracer up to the cable - it beeped prior to me turning off the power and connecting the socket. It is now in a connector block, the same one it was in before I started this.

I have had a bathroom renovation done. The old bathroom had a wall cabinet with a shaver socket built into it. The wire feeding into this was kept in place so that a shaver socket could be added later. I have done plenty basic wiring so I was happy to do this myself when the socket I wanted...
