That's what I thought. I was going to keep it 2.5 but someone suggested I maintain the flex size onto the spur. I guess is doesn't hurt to have larger. Safe as houses?

sorry, my bad. typing in a rush. I meant cooker hood cable, not the cooker! :) The plate will be positioned behind the fake chimney and in line with the cable as it stands. Thanks very much for your time and help. Much appreciated.

It is within, 110mm to be precise. I have a feeling you're going to tell me to move it higher! At the end will be a flex outlet plate for the cooker cable to connect, but I'm not 100% certain if it requires another fuse?. If I have a 3a fused dp switch near the cooker switch, that should be...

I don't think I'll risk the self signing! I'll take your advice and leave the chase open for inspection Attached are two images, one showing the safe zone chase for the cooker hood , and the other the opening where the 13a FCU will be spurred along with the lighting cable (fished up to...

I have simply fished the cables in the 'safe zones' but upon further reading I think I'll need to bury then correctly. Can you point me in the direction on the best method for bury cables into dry wall? As for the RCD, yes, the circuit already has them. The zones I was referring to was...

Hi all, Before I go and start tiling, and before I call a part P certified electrician to sign off my work. I would like to get your opinion please. I have added 3 spurs in the kitchen off existing sockets. 1. I have a 30a cooker circuit with 6mm2 flex onto a cooker switch and socket...

Thanks all for the replies, very useful indeed.

Hi there, you're correct. There was another pipe just to the left of that pipe that I marked as mains. I believe the blue pipe in the image below is the mains. And that is definitely plastic. Also on a side note, I've just realised that in the picture above the earth bond which I thought...

Hi all, Had an electrician come do a certification on our house. Not that I don't trust his judgement but I always like to get a second opinion. He says that we need to earth bond our water mains at the stop cock, however, we do not have a stop cock and the water mains that comes in under...

on second though I'll pay him in full. screw you guys :) making me think straight and everything.

Sure, ok.Jeez louise you lot of touchy. :) Well if it makes you lot all any happier. Even though I thought £450 was reasonable. I'm going to up it to £500, it's not the £560 that he asked for but i think you have to cut me some slack because the quote could be read in two ways and I read it the...

Thank you mate, I appreciate everything you've said and I've contacted the him to discuss it and we have agreed a middle ground. Perhaps I was wrong to assume what was going on but then again I'm not perfect but I'm not rich either, he understands this and I'm sure deep down you guys do too...

I'm listening to you but you're not listening to me and honestly I don't think we'll ever agree. Since this conversation I've decided to pay him £450 and he's accepted this and we've both agreed that this was a complete misunderstanding and it has ended amicably and for that I am grateful as I...
