Can I use a 8.5kw shower on a 10mm cable with out burning the shower out? Thanks

In time the kitchen ceiling will be replaced and the cable will go in the ceiling. Thanks

Hi, The cable currently runs from my fuse board (not connected) along the top of my kitchen wall in some white trunking, up through the ceiling/bathroom floor into the loft to the area the new switch will be, then another wire from where the switch will be over the ceiling and down the wall to...

i have recently installed a 10mm shower cable. I was told by a salesman in a bathroom centre I can only run a 9.5kw or 10.5kw shower from a 10mm cable. Is this true? I have only installed the cable. When I'm ready, I will be getting an electrician in to connect it all up and install the...

By priming do you mean painting with watered down paint?

Hi, I have ripped my bathroom out and replastered it. Normally after plastering I give the new plaster a few coats of watered down paint (I read it on here). This time I plan on tiling the walls, do I need to do anything before I tile a newly plastered wall? Thanks Dan.

Thanks for all the replies. i think the flow switch is the way forward here.

Thanks for the quick reply. I had a feeling that would be the answer but thought I would check.

Hi, Is it safe to run a extractor fan and light off a 10mm shower cable? It will also be powering the shower. I'm thinking a separate light and fan that only works when the shower is turned on. Thanks.

Thank you for the responses, very helpful and some good reading in the links provided.

Can anyone read this or do you have to be a registered electrician? Will this tell me all the rules and regs I need to know about doing jobs in my home?

Hi, Sorry for the late reply, I work away and don't get much time to go on the internet. First, thanks for all the responses, you are making me think this isn't going to be as straight forward as I thought. Above the ceiling is the loft, plenty of space up there, the room is tiny, 1m x 2m...

Do I need a transformer of any type?

Hi, I am going to change a light in my toilet from a pendant light to a down light. I'm thinking about buying this down light. http://www.screwfix.com/p/enlite-fire-rated-fixed-led-downlight-ip20-satin-nickel-5w/4286p Will it be a straight swap? Do I need anything else? I've changed loads...

Hi, I've just won 2 packs of red block on eBay for £20, I've spent all day moving them. Now here is the questions I should of asked before. When I pull the current flags up, how far down to I dig for the base? How do I go around a drain? (See pic) Thanks.

I done it this morning, cut and then scarificied, looking a bit bear now.

hi, It is OK to scarifie straight after a cutting my garden or should I wait a day or so? Thanks

I'm not sure what wood it is, although it shouldn't be hard to find out. It was £40 from the range, so I can't see it being made out of anything fancy.
