    Decking lights in outdoor socket?

    I have an IP66 outdoor socket which is RCD protected. Is there any way of being able to plug decking lights into this socket safely? Or does it need to be plugged in inside the house? Thanks

    Insulating Shed

    Sorry, I'm a bit confused by your reply. Do you mean, it'll be fine to have the 25mm gap between the insulation and the internal board?

    Insulating Shed

    I'm not entirely sure if this is the right section, but I'm looking to insulate my shed to store some tools in it. It's built using 44x44mm framing but most insulation seems to be 25 or 50mm. Will the 25mm work? Or will having a gap between it and the board I'll put over the top reduce or...

    Painting soffits and facias

    Hi folks, My soffits and facias are in dire need of some work doing. The plan is to give them a rub down, then paint. Problem is paint with what exactly? Was looking at Dulux Weathershield but blimey it's not cheap. Do I need to use an undercoat of something, or will a couple of coats of this...

    Fitting PIR Security Light

    Hi folks, I want a PIR security light out the back, but with minimum disruption. Firstly, are there any decent solar powered ones on the market? If not, what are my options? With a hard wired light, is a switch essential, or just a recommendation? I'm loathed to run a wire through the cavity...

    Decking frame queries

    Hi folks, Want to crack on with the decking in the next few weeks but have some questions. The frame is going to be supported on a single row of paving slabs at one end (by the house), then the plan is to sink some posts at least 2 feet in to the soil in concrete. But what's the maximum gap I...

    Which way to run decking?

    So I'm looking in to putting some decking down. I've done it before for my parents so am happy with the logistics and what not. However, I'm wondering whether anyone has some advice as to what way to lay the boards? The area is roughly 5.8m along the house, by 3.25m projecting down the garden...

    Thinking of installing Swann CCTV system

    Hi folks. Thinking of having two cameras, one covering the front drive/cars and one for the back garden. The problem I have is; I'm end of terrace so I would run the rear facing camera wire along the outside wall (high up), then come down near the front wall and into the house (my tv/boradband...

    FCU off of a spur

    Thanks John. I can't say for sure 100%. I'm gonna have to trace it back and see where it's coming from. I'm 99% sure it is a single spur from a ring circuit but will double check.

    FCU off of a spur

    Ok you guys have proper lost me now. lol So my initial proposal is definitely a no? My second proposal is ok though? As a third idea, can I replace the existing single socket with an FCU, then spur down under the counter to a single socket? Or can I just swap the single socket for a double?

    FCU off of a spur

    If it were possible, there would then be no room to convert the single to a double. It's in a small partition 'column' if you like.

    Can you explain what you mean by clipped direct?

    FCU off of a spur

    Definitely not a tumble dryer, it's a washer/dryer and no room for any other appliance.

    FCU off of a spur

    Yes it is in a kitchen. No chance of running a kettle. The current socket is only used for a washing machine, and when that's not in use then the lawn mower is normally plugged in to it.

    FCU off of a spur

    Thanks very much. So if I were to replace the existing single socket with an FCU, I could then spur of this to the side to put the single socket next to it, and also down from the FCU to another single socket under the counter? So both the sockets would be turned on and off by the FCU switch?

    FCU off of a spur

    I have a single socket above the counter which I believe to be a spur (single 2.5mm cable). The washing machine is plugged in to this. Can I run a 13a FCU from this socket, down to a single socket below the counter? Or is this spurring from a spur?
