After having a good poke around this morning i indeed found another set of tails tucked just above the outside access box for the meter so it looks like it was a fusebox for economy elecy. Now just need to find where the cables lead to see if I can just cut and tape them up or if they need to...

The reason its like that (guessing at least) is that the far right hand fuse is the cooker supply which is fed by 6mm2 cable i.e. it could be a 30Amp fused circuit if it wanted to be but as they did not need 30A they have put a 15 amp in

I have a small chimney breast in my new house - more a flue than chimney. It is only 1 brick deep from the back wall, but unfortunately its not in the middle. As i am putting an LCD on it i want to make it look central to the room. I am planning to extend it to one side by around 250mm using...

I am planning to perform an installation just like this one so can I just clarify how it 'should' be done to comply with all regs etc 1) The cables going to the chimney breast should have been taken up to the ceiling, across through the ceiling/floor boards and then down the front of the...
