yep I have a 100amp fused switch!! £115 damn pounds worth <sulk> :( still leaves me the problem of working with this damn 25mm stuff :(

nope the story is that the max tails i can have from the meter is 3 metres, my CU is about 9 metres away, so I have a 100amp switch mounted in the meter box that the tails will connect to. From the switch i am to take the 25mm armoured to the CU. Sounds right , well thats what i been told...

Firslty thanks to everyone who has replied to my previous posts, you have all been most helpful!! I am running 25mm 3 core armoured from a 100A switch that is sited in my meter box to my consumer unit that is about 10 metres away. Just thinking ahead I see problems due to the sheer size...

My plans that are passed define I use 100mm Glass Fibre in between the joists and overlay the joists with 150mm in the loft. Firslty I hate using glass fibre (as I am sure you all do), and secondly I wish to put some floorboards up there for storage. ANyone know of a product or products I can...

like my reply says I have no idea as yet what I will be running in the garden, but need to get cables in before plastrboard goes on. I will more than likely however just be running a set of lights (bricklights) on the garden and maybe a water feature. Id also like to have a waterproof plug...

the maximum length of the tails from the meter can be 2-3 metres I have been told, therefore I canot run the meter tails to the consumer unit which is 8-10 metres away, so I am putting a 100a switch in the meter box that the tails will connect to, then I am running a cable from the switch to my...

Having a meter moved soon and this will make the meter too far from the consumer unit for normal tails. So I am having a 100amp switch fitted to the electric meter and run a cable from that switch to the consumer unit. I have already been told that the cable from the switch to the consumer...

noone any ideas on this one, as I would like to get cabling run :(

i was quoted £650 last week by EDF to move 4 metres!!, even though I have dug the hole, the main cable into the house runs straight past where the new meter is and the new meter box is already fitted to the wall. Bit of a rip off I think :(

Is there any regulations on the height of new sockets in an extension? Or am I ok to make them the same height as the sockets in the original house?

ill have to check the ratings and come back then.

yep its been notified its going on. but to be honest I have no idea what I want to run yet, but I would imagine just lights and maybe a water feature, I need to get cables in now though before the plasterboard is put on the walls.

Moving my kitchen around in amongst lots of other work!! I want to run my single fan assisted electic oven and halgon hob. (both bosch). Is 6mm cable ok to run? The appliances are approx 8 metres from the consumer unit. Many thanks

Having just completed an extension i want to run all necessary cables before the dob and dab plasterboard is fitted. I want to run power to the garden for sockets and lighting. Short term I have an IP waterproof junction box which I plan to fit to my outside wall and run cable from inside...

There is a new ring being run in the new extension and I would like to add one socket to the existing bedroom and this can simply be done by pushing the ring through the wall to facilitate the socket, so no it wont be a spur. Many thanks for all your advice

thanks big john and yes its just twin and earth into a metal box and will earth it for sure and stick them grommets in ;)

I have just built an extension on the side of my house and my old outside wall is now in the middle of my house inside. Is it acceptable to run a cable up the wall and take the wire through the 2 courses and cavity (of what WAS an outside wall, but is now on the inside) and into the back of...

the lamps are gu10 50w so will give out heat, they are the fire rated ones in there own enclosure. I expect the waste to run approx 3-4 inches from the lights. Moving the lights isnt an option as there is simply too many in the downstairs ceiling
