Sorry confused by the mention of one socket. I am planning to put a double socket in the following order: 1) 2.5mm2 cable from original socket to 20A DP Switch 2) 2.5mm2 cable from 20A DP Switch to waterproof outdoor double socket

Regarding the outdoor spur socket, would a 20A DP switch be adequate for isolating the new spur?

Hi all, I'm planning to paint the front of my house and struggling to know what to do about my mock Tudor beams. I honestly can't tell if they are real wood! In some places I have cracks that appear like wood and in other places it feels like a plastic. Also the artex type render in some places...

Hi all, I'm extending a lighting circuit to include a new set of downlights and wanted to check if this qualifies as a maintenance free junction box...

No worries at all, it is a composite fence. Expensive but worth it in my opinion. We went with Saige composites.

That's what I understood too.

I think I'm going to stick to your recommendation of having an FCU leading to two separate sockets. It's highly unlikely I'll have high powered appliances plugged in and operating at the same time. The washing machine goes on 3 times a week. At most I'll have a toaster & coffee machine plugged...

Two spurs from the existing socket?

Curious to know what you meant by adding a bit of concrete?

I think it's the same or easier to cut the lip/notch from the concrete post itself? I was thinking I could raise the gravel board onto a trolley jack and use the clearance to cut the lip out from the post. This way I dont have to lift the gravel board out of the post nor do I have to make a...

Thank you. Let's assume it's not covered in the warranty, how can I go about repairing this? Should I just scrape the sealant off and redo it?

Thanks. Am I ok to take a spur from an indoor socket to add a new socket in the garden? No need for an FCU as its a single spur?

Thanks - I'll go with having an FCU first. On a different note, I am also looking to take a spur from a separate socket for a outdoor waterproof socket. My circuit is on an RCD, but I'm wondering if it would make sense to get a garden socket with a built in RCD? Or would be ill-advised to have...

Sorry you're absolutely right, it's a PRV! Is there anything in the regs that state it cannot go into a soil stack?

Yeah, we dont want to raise the ground level when we pave, so we want the ground to be roughly where it is now after paving.

I think there may already be a tundish but it's in the loft, so unlikely that we'll know if it's running?

Thank you, I've just thought this through again and may have misunderstood the role of the FCU. Would this work instead: 1) Run a 2.5mm2 cable from the existing socket and then add a FCU 2) Run a 2.5mm2 cable from the FCU to the new countertop socket 3) Run a 2.5mm2 cable from the new...

Sorry, I missed some vital info. The Unvented cylinder is now in the loft and I live in the 2 storey house. So the overflow/relief pipe drops down in the first floor, runs through the ceiling cavity and exits the building at first floor and is then plumbed down to ground floor level. Does that...

Hi all, I've got an unsightly overflow pipe leading from my unvented cylinder and out of the house on my side access. Would it be a dumb move to have it plumbed into a soil stack instead? I asked a plumber in the past and he said it's important to know if the overflow pipe is running but right...

Sorry - posted in wrong section. Updated the post now.
