Really appreciate the help and advice. (y) I will get a pro in to give it a check over. TBH it might not be after fitting the fan but will be in the near future. Next room to be done will involve quite a bit of electrical work.

I got the same advice when working on my neighbours kitchen and he wanted an extra socket. He still has rewireable fuses. I followed the advice and did not fit an extra socket. I did move the cooker outlet (surface mounted no cable change). Even this I believe is classed as a 'change'? Is a...

Does this mean my 16A MCB is actually OK?

Reasonable natural light. Just makes sense to be able to isolate it separately for replacement/cleaning.

We have been here 20+ years. No idea when the CU went in. I must have done a basic check on what does what at some point. I add notes to the paper when I find things like sockets in the kitchen on different circuits. This MCB has tripped over the years when incandescent light bulbs have popped...

Piece of paper out of shot with circuit functions.

Don't think it is RCD protected?

Yes. House is extended sideways. The 16A is the old part of the house and outside lights. Newer 'wing' is on a 6A.

OP here. I am going to fit an isolator switch. Makes sense if the fan needs replacing or cleaning. Fused or non-fused? Circuit is on a 16A MCB

DIYer Professional skim is the best option. I have used your suggested option to patch in a bricked up door and other jobs. Paper tape and powdered easifill. Pretty much invisible join. Also have a look at fibafuse tape. Self adhesive mesh tape for jointing. Aluminium corner tape works well...

If you are only looking to boost one outlet, then it goes on the pipe going to that outlet. If you want to boost all outlets, it goes on the cylinder output. Plugged into normal wall socket. I have one under my sink for Washing machine, etc, so used that. Depending on your layout, you may need...

Presume you mean these things? https://showerpowerbooster.co.uk/ I have an automatic one on a kitchen tap hot feed. Works well. In hindsight, I would have bought the double pack and boosted all the HW. We have a fortic tank (cold and hot in one) in the loft which is not suitable for normal...

What has a window got to do with an isolation switch? Intrigued :)

Thanks both. Not a rental. Just want to do the job properly.

Refurbing our spare bathroom. No extractor fan fitted and want to add one. I have run 3 core and earth from the lighting circuit (MF Wago box) to near where the fan will be. Should I be adding a 3 pole isolator? I intend to fit a fan with a timer. The fan in the other bathroom doesn't have an...

Thanks Flameport I didn't know that maintenance free meant no screws terminals. I do now :)

Thanks chaps. Presume I could fit a cover to the rose and then run a cable from that to a MF junction box? I have a mixed box of Wagos. Flex or flat for the fan or doesn't it matter? Currently flex from the rose to the lights. Yes. Was thinking about fitting smaller downlights. I do want...

Took a false T&G ceiling down and forgot to note where the 3 downlights were. False ceiling is to hide the coombed ceiling at the external wall. Gave pretty good light except over the sink for shaving, etc. All lights quite new. Binned the old R50 spots in the last couple of years. Existing...

Drawers are useful for small tools. Screwdrivers, pliers, etc. Do you have the drawers for the wardrobe? The bases may need reinforcing. Plastic boxes are useful. And keep kit dry if in a shed I have power tools in some. Also separate boxes for plumbing, electrical, small garden tools, etc...
