Thanks Noz

I have made a diagram of what I was talking about. If I keep the wiring in the horizontal and vertical zones as described, then I do not have to bury them to 50mm? In theory then if they are in these zones the wiring could be surface mounted in trunking behind the worktops. Thanks for...

Thanks for the info Taylor about the zones. I will try and contact a competent sparky to do the job or check what I am planning I did read the article, and quite frankly it's bull***t. Unless the lady in the article did her cooking with a masonry drill then the cables being buried 10mm or...

I Have an old wire fuse box and need to add a cooker supply. Unfortuately its full so I have decided to replace the unit with new one with RCD and MCB's. The question is, who can I get to uncouple the incoming mains from the supply which has lead sealed fasters on the fuse. Is this the local...
