Yes you will need to contact the DNO to get your meter and supply moved. From what you have said I think you need to get an electrician in, no consumer unit, 4 cables and sockets and lights from the same junction box sounds like the house is overdue a rewire.

Get a grid plate and fit 2 switches and 2 dimmers.

It doesn't work like that, you can't do the work then get someone to certify it for you.

As riveralt said why not spur off in each room? or break into the ring in each room and extend it? This would use less cable and keep the length of the ring shorter than going all around the loft. The loft socket may be a spur and not actually part of the ring. The work is not notifiable but...

Most wireless thermostats have a base unit what still requires connecting to the heating control circuit, so you could connect the base to this wiring then put the wireless part where you want.

I guess as usual the OP has done all this work then contacted an electrician to come and sign off his work for LABC. It aint going to happen.

It looks like MCB's 3 and 4 are not used from your photos. If this is the case you could remove them, fit an RCD to the left and control the other MCB's on the left via this RCD. The other option would be to remove one of these unused MCB's and replace with an RCBO to protect the kitchen circuit...

I would put the thermostat on the cooker circuit then you will be able to regulate the room and the cooker temperature at the same time.

If you are sure the cable is no longer required then the best thing to do is trace the cable back to where it originates, disconnect it and remove it totally.

A light wipe over with WD40 should do the trick :lol:

Is it definately an MCB which is tripping? not an RCD or RCBO?

If the boiler has output terminals for the pump you must wire the pump via the boiler. The way you have wired it means the pump will only come on when the valve sends the output to the boiler to fire. When the boiler cuts out when it reaches temperature the water still sitting in the heat...

Trace the cable back to its origin and disconnect there or leave the back box sunk in the wall and fit a blanking plate. Do not just terminate the cable then plaster over.

With the price of copper as it is you use the minimum size that meets the circuit requirements.

The programmable thermostat allows you to set different temperatures for various times throughout the day. The main controller will just tell the CH or HW to come on at a set time. Set main controller CH to constant then use programmable room stat to set temperatures.

Central heating pump?

Is there any insulation on or around the fittings causing them to hold the heat in? this could shorten the life of the lamp if they are running too hot.

What CPD's and cable sizes do the oven and hob manufacturers recommend in the instruction manuals? Why do you not believe what your electrician has recommended?

Your new fcu at the boiler will give you your permanent l,n & e. Termial 8 from your wiring centre will go to terminal 4 on the boiler (switched live). You will then need to remove your pump feed from terminal 8 of your wiring centre and feed the pump from the pump output on the boiler. This...

On some sky boxes you have to activate TV out in the settings menu for it to work.
