Precisely. That's exactly what I'm asking.

Does the doorbell wire coming out of the 0-24v transformer need to follow electrical cable zones. Or could i bury it in any direction beneath the plasterboard/brick wall?

Woody you were missed.. Good to have you back mate :love:

Thanks all

So am i right in saying that i can use 0.75mm or even 0.5mm 2 core flex cable then?

Transformer has been placed in consumer unit and it has power. To power the 0-24v video doorbell can I use 2 core flexible cable such as 1mm or do i need to use 1mm flat cable. Also is 1mm cable overkill? Could i use 0.75mm? Doorbell is less than 2m away from transformer

I have turned screw A anti clock wise and it still won't come off the wall Am I doing something wrong?

So basically you can install shaving socket anywhere as long as its 0.6m from edge of shower tray/bath? So in theory I could install it right next to my basin if I wanted? If so, that seems odd.. What about splash back?

Are there any specific rules I must follow when installing a bathroom, shaving socket? For example, must the socket be a minimum distance away from the basin etc?

I said this and she offered no resistance (surprisingly) . I think we're in boys :mrgreen: I will chase up the internal wall, through the ceiling then down to lamp B I wish I was confident/comfortable removing/installing fascias/soffit. Feeding the cable through here would have been the...
