Hello I had a shower tray installed yesterday - it is stone rsin and was installed directly on to the wooden floor. It seems fairly stable but it has not been embedded in any way. The installers said that there was no need and that it will be fine. I am not so sure - what do people think?

Hello All! Today was mean to be the day of my mega bathroom install... One which I have been planning and have had booked for 2 months.... Yesterday I got a call from the installer to say that he can no longer carry the work out! I am absolutely FUMING!! :evil: Anyway Does anyone know of...

Yep! That was him ;) Nice one!!

sorry :oops:

how do I connect it at the junction box - twist on the other earths which are OUTSIDE the junction box? Do I need a new junction box or am I creating too much work for myself?

just wondered how I go about connecting the insulated earth from a flex to my junction box, which has 3 earth cables already twisted together! Suggestions? Should I clip the earth right back or shall I connect it somehow? :?

I will use a 4 core flex

The current one is wired to a plug, that is plugged into a socket in the loft, so I thought I would copy that. Is there really a problem doing this?

have just spoken to the manufacturer and they recommended that I should connect it up to a 3 core plus earth and not connect the earth at either end. I anyone can see this being a problem, please let me know. I am using a 1mm flex and all cables are insulated - incl earth - so shall I cut...

looking at it - the junction boxes are old and all of the earths have been twisted together on the outside - looks like I will have a job twisting a new one on - should I really bother? From the fan's instructions: "The fan is double insulated and does not require an earth connection."

As I will be using a 3 amp fuse - is it okay to use 1mm 3 core flex or should I use smaller flex 0.5mm?> I was planning on using 1mm as I have some spare. I know that the current rating on 1mm is 10 amp but dont know if this means up to 10amp. I must be sounding extremely thick, but I...

damn people at B&Q - they told me to go ahead and do this GRRR thanks, though! If I but the 3 core+ earth what do I do with the earth - do I connect it to the junction box earth and not the fan or neither as the fan says it doesnt need one? Thanks so much for your help!

Am in the process of wiring a bathroom extractor (with timer). It says it is double insulated and needs no earth This (like my shaver light) needs no earth. I have bought some 3 core wire from B&Q but one of the cores is an earth (Blue, Brown and Yellow/Green) - I am planning on wiring this...

much appreciated - will do!

if I do buy 2 core wiring (no earth) do I need to buy a plug that has a plastic earth pin or is this irrelevant - shall I leave the earth unconnected in both the plug and the shaver?

Thanks! :)

I am basically planning on wiring a plug onto the end of the flex from the light - there is currently a shaver socket in the bacthroom and this is actually wired in to a plug that goes into a socket which is in the loft. This would be the easiest (albeit tacky way for me to do it). The light...

do I just use L1 and leave L2 blank then?

Just wanted some advice really - I need to wire in a shaver light into the bathroom - it only has a neutral and live and says it must not be earthed. What cable should I go out and buy - 2 core 1mm without earth perhaps? If I use a cable with earth what should I do - clip it off at the end...

I have a brand new 2-way light pull switch knocking about and wanted to use it to replace a 1-way light pull switch. Its duties will remain as a 1 way switch with just L1 in use, does it matter that L2 will not be used or should I use a One way switch instead?
