EFLImpudence, you have been a really great help to me mate and I really do appreciate it, thank you so much, wish I could by you a beer or two! This is what I've done and managed with your help/assistance. The major clanger I dropped was with sorting out that dodgy termination block in the...

Hi mate what I don't need to replace the 40amp MCB on the 6mm oven circuit with a 32amp MCB? He said the regs changed about 8 years ago because there was oven circuits catching fire with the 40amp MCBS installed and therefore they reduce the MCBS to 32amp...? Shall I leave the MCB as 40amp?

Hi All I've just purchased some 6mm heat resistant flexible cable HO7RNF. Whilst in the wholesalers I got speaking to an electrician and when I said it has a 40amp MCB on the 6mm oven circuit he said it should be 32amp as they changed the regs about 8 years ago as it could catch fire? Do I...

Edit Ive just checked the continuity and that terminal block isn't feeding the oven must be kitchen circuit sockets..... Will check further tonight.

Hi mate it's the cable leading to the double plug socket for the oven, I took the drywall backbox out of the wall to pull the cable through to check the size and I found that terminal block in the wall. Therefore I'm thinking of using a Wago terminal block and termination box to make it more secure?

Edit ive just taken the drywall socket backbox out and pulled some cable through to see if I can find anything on the sheath. Its difficult to read but looks like this Basec 080 BS 6004 6242 Y H 2 x 6 (or maybe a 5??) + 2.5 SOMM PX 93 I don't think they do 5mm cable therefore must be a 6mm...

Hi Mate i won't be able to use the socket as it will be behind the oven do they do those cooker plates in two gang sizes to save me having to install a new backbox? Also even though I know the cable feeding that socket is bigger than 2.5mm (I have **** loads of 2.5mm and put it up against it...

Hi Both thank you very much for your help The socket is a 2 gang at moment, therefore will need to put a new single backbox in the wall? Also do those sockets have cable routing holes in the bottom to put the cable from the oven into it? I've used surface mounted boxes in the past with 20mm...

Hi Guys, all sorted, socket installed, and laminate flooring laid, here's a photo of the finished product, I just need to cut a piece of laminate to install in the top of the box, refit the skirting, and then all finished.

Thanks guys so what's my options as the laminate won't fit under the aluminium trim? Can I remove it and replace with something that finishes flat inline with the side upvc frames? Or if not then what else can I do to finish off the laminate? Really do appreciate your help guys.

Hi Johnny that's the sides yes? Could you please advise me on how to replace the aluminium threshold with a UPVC one as you suggested above? Does it just knock out from underneath as it looks like the door frame sits on top of it? And also has some black seal type around the jams is that on the...

Hi Johnny, Many thanks for your advice, I was going to do that to the side glass panels, using UPVC window trim? But the threshold replacement with UPVC how do I know which type will fit? Also how will that then finish inside? And how easy is it to do it?

Can anybody please offer some advice on this issue? I will try and post a picture below. I'm having problems finishing Laminate flooring at an aluminium door threshold of a set of French Doors (double doors with a side panel of glass on each side) , think it's an old door, and the aluminium...

Hi All, I'm fitting laminate flooring and need to fit a floor plug socket. I've got the old laminate up now, and there's two holes in the main flooring boards and I can see about 2ft of crawl space below it. I was going to spur off from one of the wall sockets, however there's also wiring...

Hi All thank you very much for all your input much appreciated. There's a lot of information and figures in the above, however it appears that what I've done is OK and I can leave as is and don't need to do anything else to it? Or should I be ripping all the cable out of the conduit and...

The house was built 10 years ago and has a modern consumer unit with a Wylex NSB32 installed in the Downstairs Socket Circuit. The circuits are also protected by 2 x Wylex WRS 80/2 80A 30mA RCD's. The Original socket I spurred from isn't really used as its in the middle of the garage and I have...

Hi Guys I'm permanently running a 4ft tubular heater off the Spurred socket I've installed which obviously comes off the original socket that the 3 x cables are running to/from?

Many Thanks Eric, the cables won't overheat where I've squeezed 3 x T&E in the 20mm conduit? I'm worried about it burning and catching fire?
