Would this configuration still satisfy?

Ahhhh okay.. so sockets on a 20a radial with 2.5mm cable can have as many spurs of a socket on 2.5mm as its rated approx 27a and the breaker will trip before the cable gets too hot?

Morning all, I'm competent installing electrics.. and understand that rings can have one spur or multiple after a FCU.. and radials can have as many spurs as you want really. But.. my brain is having an off day and can't get my head around the reason why this is so.. can someone explain in...

Thanks Mottie.. Think I'll dig down past the level of the current slabs 3 inches and add sharp sand and cement

Hi all.. I've searched and can't find a definite answer.. I have a row of slabs at the bottom of the garden going left to right so 600mm across I'm going to dig out infront of them and put more slabs down to add a shed.. What do I need to put under the pavers? MOT? Then sharp sand and...

Builder came.. just said mark on the wall where I want the sockets and they will build it out for the back box... Thanks for the help everyone

Thanks pal.. He is coming tomorrow so will ask him.. if not I'll get some 47mmx47mm timber and use that to attach back boxes to..

This is the wall

That sounds like a plan... I've spoken to the builder.. and he is boxing in the gas pipes and the consumer unit.. allowing ventilation

Right.. Okay let me have a look

Just measured and I think it will be about 100mm from the block then he is putting insulation board in-between. Reason for the distance from the block is there are gas pipes along that wall ( Garage conversation )

Thank you John! I think they will be boarding further then a metal backbox would allow.. so it will be photos and measurements!

Probably a stupid question.. but builder is putting stud against breeze block then plastering. ( Needs to build it out slightly ) Thing is, how do I go about 1st fixing this as there will be no back boxes to leave my cables in? I'm training to be a spark.. and this is on my own house.. so I'm...

Yes came loose.. I've put that back in for the lights in the hall. That PIR cable is getting converted to a 1way switch for spots. And the PIR getting moved round the corner. I can leave it in a wago but it's driving me mad not knowing where it's fed from

Hi all.. Replaced old light with new.. and the new only needs a live and neutral. So there is a spare cable which is live.. I can't for the life of me find where it's connected! Driving me mad! Can you help? I just want to disconnect it. It is the far right switch in the pictures

So are you saying use good maintenance free junction boxes??

I saw that

Thanks everyone... I like the heat shrink idea, but I've got a few maintenance free JBs here.. as long as that's fine I'll go with that. The cable is up in the ceiling so heat shrink would be a pain..

Hi all, Trainee here.. just wanted to ask a question. Wall being knocked through and made into a door into the garage. There is a radial 2.5mm in the way and some 1.5mm lighting circuit. So I need to extend the cables to get them out the way. Am I okay jointing with a maintenance free JB...

Hi All.. I'm not able to pull the SWA for a few months now.. But before the builders start this week I do need to come out the CU and into a adaptable box outside for when I do. We are going with 6mm, so can I just use...
