As far as i can tell, i never saw it before the work was done - they've moved the room the kitchen was in and added a load of new double sockets in the kitchen, utility room and second utility room. Each pair of double sockets has it's own 13A fused switch, the cooker and extractor fan have...

Hehe, sorry, i come from an electronics background - what i call really 'high voltage' is 50V-240V I really meant extra low voltage in electrical definitions, most i tend to deal with is +/- 18V AC out of a transformer - i'd never plug anything in with exposed 230v.

Personally i was under the impression it was mandated that it had to be on a seperate circuit (but i'm not an electrician) It's brand new, high efficiency (A or B rating i think, single fan oven), it's likely to be fairly lowish power and a gas hob. So i'll be checking the specs but it's...

See that's the thing, taking those rules literally, i'd need a qualified electrician to change the fuse wire! How far are we from having to call someone in to reset a breaker? hehe Since they're literally just plug in/swap jobs - no wiring required i will probably just do it. I...

Hi, I've just moved into a new flat and im having a problem with the bath taps - it's a spa bath and i've never had one before so i was fiddling, on top of the taps was what looked like a button/lever (similar to plug control) and so i pressed it - now no water will come out of the taps at...
