Are they stramit walls, Hogg the builder used to use it upstairs, jigsaw the box out, seal with pva then dot and dab the box in

Also on that photo of db's, the down sockets only seem to have an rcd fitted and no overcurrent device so that will need rectifying my bad! :( cheers rf, i can see it now

Is that a solid link fuse carrier seeing as it's red? Edit:- it looks like it's been coloured in but is scratching white

Fit a flex outlet/single socket controlled by the fcu behind the chimney

i think what the op is saying happened is the 'mate' cut the cable feeding the cooker isolater and connected it direct to the oven thereby having no local isolation anymore this wants repairing/sorting out correctly : ie get a spark in

Would not comply- altering an existing circuit so unless cooker cable buried more than 50 mm then rcd/rcbo required at db as your required to bring it upto 17th amd 1 So ignore the above post

Can be done if using 4mm cable and needs to be 4mm between socket and fcu also. However all socket outlets require rcd/rcbo regardless of installation method so new rcbo or standalone rcd at db required

Wind your neck in 17th boy, i bet your the sort of spark that has to isolate a whole db just to take the cover off because college told you so. to the op, isolate then join known perm live and 1x brown into common then re-energise. if light comes on then isolate and terminate the brown into...

But alterations have been made, you changed to switches At switch 1 put known perm live into common, then dab one of the other browns onto common and see if the light comes on, if it does screw that conductor into L1, if it doesnt then its the perm live to switch 2 and put into common with...

Blatently obvious or not the install is substandard and doesn't comply with bs7671 wiring regs as it has 2 points of isolation. yet you are not concerned about that and are worried about 'borrowed neutrals' which you have not got and which you say you know nothing about anyway. can i...

can you tell us what sort of meter you have installed as obviously you dont just connect new db to existing as the storage heaters will be on 24hrs

I'm assuming that you already have economy 7 tariff / dual rate meter installed as that will also be required to connect new 4way db to. As others have also said 1200 quid is quite cheap, not a friend of a friend doing the install is it?

As you've gashed the wall already, can you not cut back to the uprights and fit a noggin between them to allow back box to be screwed into place?

Point 1. Are you saying that the bathroom fan has to be running in order for the boiler to fire? Can you upload picture Point2. From your description the sockets are wired correctly, no need for joint box's. On a new install as yours joint box's are only used by readers digest diyers

If an electrician changes the mcb then he/she will have to bring that circuit upto 17th edition regs by installing an rcd or rcbo Ps there's no such thing as a part p spark, part p is part of building regs and anyone can read them and take an exam, ensure your spark is qualified and a member...

images have been made private, sorry cannot help

I stand corrected, however still think it unlikley an rccd is required and that it is an unneccessary expense

he must still be confused fitting an rccb on a submain, hope you haven't paid for the unneccessary item!

red to 6 with a short piece of red to 3 blue to 4 yellow with piece of red tape to 2

please take time to look at the diagram properly as it shows you the solution looking at the wiring diagram it says you need 230v on terminal 3 and terminal 2 is the load all you have done is power the display at the moment.
