Hi & thanks for all the replies & information. I am still looking for the original roll, i thought i had some left. 4mm seems alot thicker than i had anticipated, but i do understand why. In trying to correct this, does it have to come from the fusebox or can i for example take a 2.5mm T&E...

thanks matty & ban all sheds. i have been cabling for many years, although was finding it hard to navigate my way around what i can / cannot do & who i am meant to notify & when. As with all things, i seem to have just fallen into doing this over the last 20yrs & not thought about this side...

Hi, can anyone let me know what they think i should expect to pay for getting a room 17x17 plastered? (lounge) also 2 other walls that adjoin at the corner in a hallway? (wall 1 sloped under stairs 6ft & 2nd wall 4ft) I am happy to remove all radiators, faceplates, and any other fittings...

Hi (edit. i have read up part p several times now, along with various other info's, i get the impression anything low voltage / video is not covered in anyway & i am freely able to run whatever in terms of data, comms & video, although as soon as i touch mains in anyway i must be able to self...
