Yes, I could still do that. Would it be better just to run a single 2.5sqmm cable for an electrical oven up to 20A/4.5kW? The run is about 10m nearly all through floor void. Thanks again.

Two layers of 12.5mm plasterboard are an inch thick. It is currently only on one side so inspector will be able to see location within stud wall. The plaster is on most of the walls already, and has been extensively channelled already. The oven point comes up in a stud wall so there is only...

Actually sorry this is the one I used: http://www.amazon.co.uk/IEE--site-Guide-7671-Regulations/dp/0863418546/ref=sr_1_4?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1328651281&sr=1-4

James, Yes, that's the standard wiring regulations. For DIYers it's not all you'll need though as it mainly tells you what you can't do, rather than actually how to wire anything. From my experience, I'd say ripping all the old cabling out and starting again was much easier than trying to...

The incoming was three 25sqmm in an armoured sleeve, which seemed a bit overkill for a small domestic installation. It came from a TN system, which I was able to isolate at another communal distribution board, to install the new CU. I reused the thing from the old CU to anchor the incoming...

Thanks, I'll label it properly before the inspector comes. I took care to attach them in sequence. As for my 50mm chases, I have the floor up so virtually the whole run is through floor voids. There's a bit in the stud wall where the CU is, which is just over 50mm including an inch of...

It's a standard 2.5sqm T&E ring - rated over 20A. That should allow me to have an oven up to about 4.5kW, no? There is nothing else on this ring.

Thanks, at least you weren't completely horrified. Yes, neutral bar is on the left with blue incoming cable - does it have to have a black sleeve or can I just put the sticker on warning that there are different wiring colour-schemes inside? I have also sleeved the end of the incoming earth...

Firstly, I am getting this inspected by Building Control's electricians, I'm not just going to leave it unchecked. I also read the 17th edition and have generally stayed well under maximum cable loads and lengths. But just wondered if I'd made any big mistakes? Does it look too messy in the...
