I am thinking of splitting the house ring as it serves the whole house and create a new ring for the kitchen. I am also thinking of creating a radial for a Samsung Fridge freezer and a dryer. Do you think a B20 RCBO on a 2.5mm cable will serve both these appliances ok?

Haha ok. Let’s forget chatGPT then if I am allowed to do this then I will go with that Here is a drawing of what i want to do.

" it breaks the normal ring topology and introduces a figure-8 loop, which is not compliant with BS7671"

I cannot extend the existing ring without using wagos. The cable will not reach and is a solid wall. Also I am trying to not have a spur either, my dryer does not draw much electricity right now but If I rent the property out in the future I wont know what the tenant might connect into it. My...

I would like to add a new socket in my kitchen ring and the way I want to do it ChatGPT tells me is not the correct way! Can you please assist. So I have an existing socket with IN and OUT. I am proposing to add wagos in the back of the existing socket and bypass the IN from the old socket and...

I found out the address is at the bottom so you do not need to replace the whole unit. I will try swapping just the top with another head and if this one works then it is a faulty head.

I have an error on my panel Protec 6500. I traced this to a smoke head that is not flashing. Protec said called out fee is £650 per day but might be less!! I am wondering can I twist this off and re sit it and check the cables underneath? Also If I need to change this sounder I can buy one of...

Sorry I worked it out!

I am too close to the bath waste here as the elbow goes further than the waste and I have no move on the vertical waste pipe to move backwards. What do I do?

I'm sorting the electrics tonight, putting these into trunking

The agency asked me to box this up for a rental. How do you do that so you still keep access to the boiler cover and also allow for the little valve underneath the boiler to fill the boiler !

I installed this telescopic hob extractor and although a recirculation I am a bit concerned with the hot air that will be coming out of it. Usual with a chimney type the air is recirculated and gets directed at the front of the hood. Now with this what do I do if I leave it like this and...

I am installing a retractable one like this one: So I guess I will install it at kind of pass my head level! I am 1.72m...so that distance from the floor!

On of the stair steps collapsed, I found out a piced of wood that held it in place had been like paper. It was the original wood from 1906!. How do you fix it as it is the second step and have not great deal of access. I am thinking to compact some sand at the bottom with mortar and add bricks...
