Post of the day!

So as i have a BG consumer unit, it is mandatory that I use a BG transformer? I have the ring transformer and it doorbell needs 8-24v Also does a transformer need to be easily accessible or can I place it in the ceiling?

I want to wire a video doorbell (ring, Google etc) to a transformer, then place this in my consumer unit. Is it okay to use standard doorbell wire from the doorbell to the transformer? Is it true that I could have a problem with electrical interference if I use thin doorbell cable? So to...

Surprised this thread is still here. To be honest, the first response did answer my query. Nevertheless, thanks for the help guys.

As per the title

Thanks for the bump/reminder guys. :mrgreen: I am going to get on with this job today. I will install it a reasonable distance away from the basin to eliminate the concern of water coming into contact with the socket.

thought that this was the wall unit from hell. It turns out, that someone (me) had applied mastic between the unit and the tiles underneath. And that's why it wouldn't come off. Definitely my dimmest moment of the year thus far :mrgreen: Thanks for the help as always guys

I have turned screw A anti clock wise and it still won't come off the wall Am I doing something wrong?

So basically you can install shaving socket anywhere as long as its 0.6m from edge of shower tray/bath? So in theory I could install it right next to my basin if I wanted? If so, that seems odd.. What about splash back?

Are there any specific rules I must follow when installing a bathroom, shaving socket? For example, must the socket be a minimum distance away from the basin etc?

I said this and she offered no resistance (surprisingly) . I think we're in boys :mrgreen: I will chase up the internal wall, through the ceiling then down to lamp B I wish I was confident/comfortable removing/installing fascias/soffit. Feeding the cable through here would have been the...

Externally, no as it is finished with GRP Internally it's a standard plasterboard finish with rigid insulation tightly packed next to the plasterboard.

The area is a single storey extension The roof is Grp on OSB Board Insulated cavity wall (mineral wool)

Really. I thought I'd have to make a small chase. Place conduit/wire in said chase. Then slap on some 5 to 1 sand/cement to fill the chase and paint over.

It's a thin/smooth sand/cement render Not Pir lights. There is a switch directly behind the lamp at position A. The switch has a neutral and power at the switch. Lamp A already has power. I just need to get a cable from Lamp A to lamp B

In the words of my Missus 'don't even think about it' :mrgreen: Interior is perfectly finished, fully furnished etc. I've been told to keep that mess outside.

I need to get a wire from A to B for external light. I would like to know, what is the easiest way to run this cable? I am hoping that I do not have to take off the upvc fascia/soffit.

Thank you.

I want an outside socket and want to know whether my plan is a good one. Ring Circuit is wired to multiple FCU's in my kitchen e.g. Washing machine, extractor fan etc. One of the FCU's is wired to a 2 gang socket which has my dishwasher plug attached. Now my plan is to wire the end of the...

@pcaouolte @ericmark You guys have gone above and beyond. I couldn't be happier with the advice provided. Both of your suggestions took me down a PIR vs Smart Lighting Rabbit hole :mrgreen: I think Smart Lighting and Switches are the way forward tbh, plus it will be a simpler wiring job for...
