Fair enough. So does Part P say you can replace an existing shower (of the same rating) without the need to notify LABC?

And theres me getting anilated for advice on fitting an outdoor socket :? For me personally I can see a diy'ed shower alot more dangerous than an outdoor socket. But maybe I'm just an idiot.

exactly 300cm, cheers

Thanks for the help, I'll put some vertical straps in then. No need to screw down wallplate then I imagine? Just mortar? Birdsmouth would be best because the fascia board (same profile as the roof) will sit nicely up against it I believe. I'll follow the 1/3 guideline ie no more than 25mm...

Hi mate, it is not flat :D About 9 degrees.

Hi there, I'll be fitting a box profile metal roof to my garage. Not apex. I'm using a 4x2 wall plate on a bed of mortar, should I also secure it to the concrete block using hew screws and plugs? (see pic below) Also, I'm using 3x2's to support the roofing sheets (400mm centres)...

[/url] Look a nice bit of kit, but not far off a months wage :lol:

That was not my intention either mike to insult anyone of that status, I have the uttermost respect for electricians. I would love to be able to achieve that status, but sadly my confidence lets me down. would love to do what you guys do deep in my heart

ok mate, I'm sorry for my comments and I don't want any hard feelings, I'm just trying to do my best for what I can afford... I posted this thread hoping to gain insight on what needs to be done correctly, or at least to a certain standard. I might not be able to test as a qualified electrician...

Thanks holmslaw, I take it that plastic box is surface mounted? If so, the existing cable that is there now is tighter than a nuns.... :lol: There isn't much play, I think I would struggle stretching the cable even 1cm more or so cheers

Thanks mate for all the help, plus everyone else who has helped, really grateful, cheers

I don't know what your problem is, but all you've done in my thread is insult with your comments and bang on about your test meter 4 times now. At least I've came here to ask about this, to learn how to do it safely than what I intended to do without the knowledge gained. Ok i'm not...

:D ok lets just keep things simple here :lol: :oops: thanks for all the help

Hi mate, thanks for the advice. Now that is an option I wasn't aware off !!! 3 is definately an option, it is a double socket and I'll go for that :D Yes you are right about costs, the outdoor FCU is £30 alone, it is quite alot really 25mm wider, but that is no problem! I can fit a...

Hi mate, yes I have seen them before, I did forget about those fittings though. Thanks again for all the help electronicsuk :) I still don't like the idea of putting the FCU indoors, so I will go for that outdoor FCU instead, it would be more pratical than putting one in the garage, hence...

Yes, I know what it looks like :lol: But like I said there are two beams running down each side where the existing socket metal box is situated. Then I have to find another beam to attach the FCU's metal box to or find one that is running horizontal... I'll end up destroying a patch of...

Hi mate, thanks for the advice :) Yes, it would make life easier, but I don't want a FCU in sight indoors, plus with the existing socket there is two beams running either side of socket, sort of sandwiched in :lol: I just think it will be too difficult and will be easier having it in the...
