Thanks for your replies. Ikea have been unable to provide me with the power rating of the oven! They confirmed it has a 2 pin plug together with a 3 pin adapter and that is should be a 'wired in installation'. I'm confused as to why they say it has a plug if it needs to be a wired in...

For reference (if it helps) the oven is the NUTID OVN 910 S ( http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/80123747 ) . The Ikea site says the following: Energy class: A. Energy consumption with a standard load, top and bottom heating: 0.79 kWh. Energy consumption with a standard load...

Ok thanks for your advice...strong opinions on both sides! We have plumbed for a gas hob with a electric oven (both whirlpool units from Ikea). I don't have the rating for the electric oven but it is a single oven so will I need a separate cooker radial circuit or can it run of the existing...

Hi All, We are refitting our kitchen. At the moment we have a gas cooker with a single gas connection. We have purchased a new gas hob and am trying to decide if a gas or electric oven is the way forward. The CU has a MCB for the cooker however I've not found a output in the kitchen. I've...

Hi just had a B&Q pan and Macdee pneu-compact concealed cistern fitted. Just started to notice a 'little' problem. The toilet fails to flush the contents away properly. Sometimes it can take 3-4 flushes to get the job done. I have checked the fill level in the cistern and is it spot on the...

Opps sorry I should have mentioned they are IP23 rated. Any chance you could show some kinda diagram to show how the choc box + downlights would be wired in? Thanks M

Hi jj4091, Thanks for the reply. Yes I'm aware the work is part p and I will get it assess once I have completed it. The location of the lights will be in Zone 2 (0.6m horizontally away from the bath. If I can't use concealed junction boxes , what would be the best way to install this set...

Thanks for the detailed reply jj4091, can you expand?

Hi, I want to fit 3 GU10 Max 35W downlights in my bathroom. The existing setup has a ceiling rose with two 3 core light circuit cables and a switch cable. The downlights are double insulated therefore not having a earth. What should I do with the earth wire? I am planing to fix a 4...
