May the light shine upon you - even if it is energy saving! :D

Yes it's ok to take it from the lighting circuit but remember all work in a bathroom comes under Part P and you know what that means, don't you?

You might be better off using these

Hi Martyn At the moment you have two single switches, so you need to join the two commons together from the separate switches to the common of the dimmer. Now if one of the commons has a link to the other common then just use the one wire and you won’t then need the link wire. The two other...

If that is the right fuse for the shower circuit. But the fuse will only be 30A which is hardly sufficient for an electric shower.

He made it look all soo easy.

Can you try swapping one with another somewhere else that you know works? That way you'll know if it's the fitting that's faulty or its location that's a problem.

Sure it hasn't sent you blind :lol: :lol: :lol:

Don't see why not, as long as it's not going to compromise the strength of the stud.

I agree it is very confusing, not exactly black and white. But AFAIK it's not so much whether you're qualified but whether you're competent. So, you could be qualified but not competent. Alternatively, you could be competent but not qualified. Clear?

You could use something like this switch somewhere accessible between the battery terminals and the lamp.

Your cooker circuit terminates at a cooker control unit which should be situated where it is easily accessible, and not above the cooker. You then need to go from there to a cooker connection unit using your 10mm² cable. From the cooker connection unit you will attach yor cable to the cooker...

After taking diversity into consideration I would have thought 10mm² very adequate.

Bonding will go from your mains water stop cock and within 600mm of your gas meter (assuming you have GCH) to your MET (main earth terminal). What type of supply do you have? Can you send in a pic of the supply intake?

AFAIK you can't. BT has to come and fit a master socket from where you can then run your extensions if you want to. Up to master socket belongs to BT, after it is your responsibity.

As we now come under 17th edition of the wiring regs any cable now virtually has to be RCD protected. Good practice under 16th ed as well. As to what size will depend on various rating factors, not least is if it will be enclosed in insulation. As general rule of thumb, most electricians...
