From reading plenty of posts on here and seeing material elsewhere, as far as I am aware, my kitchen is not a special location for Part P purposes. I'm not having a bath, shower, sauna or swimming pool fitted in there. However, the NIC domestic installer I had in for a estimate yesterday...

As far as I am aware, Elica are the OEM designers/manufacturers for cooker hoods for many appliance brands. They aren't necessarily cheaper, certainly not if you go for their top of the range job with automatic sensing and weather station for £1,500. :shock: I think they are pretty much...

Thanks for the quick replies. I had seen the MK stacking kits, which could be a neat solution if not too wide. Although they don't come cheap compared to a single split load box, there is additional cost to me compared to keeping the existing unit for the non RCD side and having one new unit...

Is there a requirement for a domestic install to have one master switch for the installation? If I had a second consumer unit added above the existing one, due to lack of space for anything wider, would it be valid just to have their respective main switches? The second CU would be for RCD...

Thanks for the suggestions. An independent electrical store seems to be the way to go. As for the local paper, it could well be a reasonable place to find newly established tradespeople, but there are plenty stating their many years experience. They may charge plenty, if their experience...

Willhelm, sorry to confuse. My reference to the Sunvic was just was just because I wanted something better and there's no financial loss from replacing it. ChrisR, thanks, that's what I wanted to hear. I agree that the full technical gubbins will go over the heads of most users/installers...

Willhelm, what do you mean by 'other bit'? I'm going for the hard-wired CM67, not the wireless CM67 RF if you were thinking about the relay box. In particular, the T66671085 is the optimum start hard-wired version (replaicing 85 by 69 gives the non-optimum start model). The add-ons for...

I am going to change my ordinary mechanical stat for for one of these. I have acquired a Sunvic TLX6501 although it is relatively crude and doesn't have as much functionality as I would have liked (the instructions for the TLX6501 on Sunvic's website are for a more sophisticated model but with...
