Yes I think it was treated for damp just before I moved in 12 years ago

I removed an old skirting board and behind it was cement (which broke)rather than plaster.The wall above the skirting has plaster.Before I attach the new skirting board I need to replace the cement.What mix of sand to cement should I use?

I think I might have to.I had hoped there might be a straight-forward way of extending the socket cable (eg with terminal/connection blocks).I am not actually adding anything - just moving the socket by 2-3 feet.

Thanks-I meant 20 amps.So a junction box rated at 30amps will not adversely affect 20amp cable leading to the socket?

I need to move a double electrical socket by 1 meter.I need to extend the cable to do this.THE MCU is fused at 32 amps but the existing cable into the socket is 2.5mm which I guess is 20amps.I will be extending using 2.5mm 27 amp cable.Should I use a 20amp or 30 amp junction box to connect the...

Thanks to both of you for the advice!

Thanks for that Crafty-but does this mean I can use a thicker 10 amp or 15 amp flex(even though the external fuse is only 3 amps).I know you can't use a lower amp flex but is there any danger in using a higher amp flex/cable in electrical jobs in general?

I have a Potterton 28i combination boiler.It is rated at 230v and has an external 3 amp fuse(in the FCU/fused connection unit)with power consumption of 190w.I need to replace the 3 core flex which leads from the FCU to the combi boiler with a longer one.I had assumed I would need a 3amp 3 core...
