Maybe I'll just get an electrician in instead.....

Thanks for that all, it's literally a twin and earth which leaves the back of the house, goes through the adjoining outside WC, out the other side, along the top of an approximately 7ft high wall, into the garage. Powers all of 2 double sockets. the total run of the cable from the back of the...

Hi all, a bit of advise required..... my parents have a detatched garage at the back of the garden. it has power going to it via an old style fuse box from the house. I think a rat or something has chewed through the plastic sheething and electric cable which runs to the garage on top of...

Thanks for that, checked last night and all of the other ratings are correct. Wondering why the rating for the garage is 20A and the dowstairs sockets is at 32A? Is this because the garage is a radial circuit and the others are ring finals? What's the theory behind this?

Hi, I have a Grundfos Nile water pump installed to increase the pressure of the hot water. It is in a cupboard and makes a lot of noise when switched on. The rubber feet are being used and all pipework is secured to a wall but the noise is still quite loud. Anyone with any experience of...

Hi - thanks for all that, so is that dangerous in that case....? Do you guys know what the following circuits should have in the CU in that case ? Bit worried now and wondering that the other circuits may be fitted with the wrong ratings too? There is.... 1. dowstairs lighting circuit...

No, nothing like that, as I said, the cable literally just goes through the wall and that's it. the breaker is rated at 32. Is that not a little too high?

It's an attached garage and so the cable comes out of the CU and goes through the wall that the CU is attached to. The other side of this same wall is the garage. Can't remember what the breaker value is, will post it when I get home tonight....

Exactly what I was thinking..... It was a friend of mine who told me about it, no real reason was given, he just said it'd be neater and that the circuits would be seperated. Just wondering if it makes any sense.

Hi, looking for some information on garage consumer units. I've currently got a 16 way split load CU inside the house and a length of 2.5mm twin and earth going from this into the garage. This powers approximately 2 double power sockets in the garage. A FCU is also also connected to this...

Thanks for that, brilliant idea, never even thought of it !!!! Earth wire has been sleeved and run already - thanks again mate !

Okay, will I have to add one ? Sorry, not familiar with all the terminology.

Never wired a light using a connecting block before, I guess using a rose is clearer for me, not too confident connecting the lights up with a connecting block though. Any ideas on the rose sitting in the loft?

I've got a rough diagram of what te set up would look like but don't know how to upload it to the site?

Hi all, new to this site and also not a n electrician by trade. Just looking for some advise and information. I'm looking to change the light in my bathroom to one of those new all enclosed type of ones for use near a shower/bath tub and wash basin. The light which I have bought has a...
