Yes you are right, I will leave him to do his job - it is just that I have been "burnt" too many times in the past. Thanks

Well I have spoken to the electrician on the phone and he assures me that we have a continuous ring. He says that there is an another cable in addition to the alleged spur from the downstairs ring in the ceiling. This was buried in the wall and used by him as another leg for the extension in...

Yes there are other sockets and have vetted them for another feed but cannot see it. However the electrician may say that he is not finished so will give him every opportunity, when we speak, to be honest and above board. It may be a genuine oversight or a temp feed for now. I do have to say...

You are right it is not first fix - loose terminology on my part. The ring main parts and the offending spur are live, although not plastered up as yet. Some electrics, e.g. cooker, are at first fix, i.e. not energised at all. The downstairs ring main has a MCB Square D refs 32B6 and B32...

Thanks for the information. Regret that the spur from the ceiling is 2.5 sq mm.

Should have asked "what is a lollipop" apart from the obvious. and is it allowed?

He is/was an electrician used by the kitchen installer - his card says "Part P approved" The work is only at first fix for the moment so no cert as yet. Turning off the downstairs ring turns the kitchen ring off Have not parted with monies as yet Can anyone quote me from the Regs which parts...

We are having a new kitchen being installed now. The old electrics were a mess with spurs off spurs. I asked the electrician to remedy this by putting a ring main in the kitchen. This he has done but the ring is fed from a spur from the ceiling to a double socket which branches off to the ring...

Thanks for reply. This is a Valor Company notice from 2013 of which latterly I was aware. Wonderfire as trade name ceased and some of the range encompassed under the Valor name

I have had a Wonderfire type 057 since Sept 13. I have had numerous (about 8) instances of it not lighting. It has a remote hand held device for ignition. I have replaced batteries many times with no success. I have reset the receiver box a few times. All with no success. The engineers have...

Sorry for delay in replying The auto wassher is on a ring main socket whilst the dryer is on a spur (one socket) Thank to all for help

Ericmark Thanks for input With regard to the latter part of your reply. Are we saying that an auto washer and a condenser dryer off the same spur are ok? Regards

Thanks to all will investigate further

JohnD There is not any reference to "applies to UK" or similar. JohnW2 The washer came with an integral plug. Thanks I would assume no problem with the washer socket itself However there is another socket nearby for a Condenser dryer (which is on a spur). Am concerned now that this...

It is a Samsung machine bought in UK intended for this market

should have said that the washer rating is 2200W

My daughter's washer is below a work top. There is a switched socket below the work top but no isolator. Is the latter manatory? Am not sure if the socket is a spur or ring main but the washer manual says that it needs a dedicated supply. What does this entail? Thanks for any advice.

My daughter has had a builder putting in some electrics and water pipes in the garage so that the auto washer can go there. The electric socket is very close (about 2 inches) to the water inlet valve and the water oulet waste pipe. I am concerned thatif there is a water leak onto to the...
