I'm getting wise, I wont tackle something like that without having at least one spare patress box at hand, two, if i know im in that short tempered mood :evil: Pull switchs are great for one thing, loose terminals, hot contacts and replacement!! (ok three) Top of the list of things I hate...

Had to fit a similar size shower before, that too would only take 10mm. I needed to get through insulation to get across to bathroom roofspace, so I ran 16mm to the shower pullswitch and then the short distance from pullswitch (i kept battened above insulation) to the shower in 10mm,

With a pulley system for the more intricate of staircases!!

I've got it, fit two showers but just give them one shower head! :lol:

How long is a piece of string? How many circuits will it be serving? In what condition is the existing installation? More info needed really. But for example, I changed a consumer unit the other week, I quoted £360 but on checking the existing installation i found all kinds of issue...

Ah, miss read the question. Yeah, Holmslaw, if both lights come on, could be a borrowed neutral, Before working on the light, isolate the other lighting circuits to just to be on safe side. Borrowed neutrals can nip your hand a bit if you dont know they are there!!

I personally would always try and steer a customer away from fitting a second electric shower, Even if you can only use one at once, whats the point? you might aswell wait for the first electric shower to come free!! Usually if a family is going out (for a meal etc) they are all getting ready...

I disagree, most diyers do not care about testing, design, verification etc etc. and most diyers wont own insulation tester etc, Most diyers just care about COST and they will take the cheaper option everytime. Not to mention the fact a lot of DIYers dont know what they are doing. I've lost...

just being picky now but should the title to this subject be, how to wire in 8 ELV Lights?? If accessability to your junction boxes was gonna be a problem you could always use maintenance free junction boxes like these http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/ASJ804.html accessability to...

Thats an illegal number plate!!!!

They still should have added RCD protection to the socket outlets they added really, Just contact the company and express your concerns, im sure they will be happy to rectify, Ask them whether you will be recieving a Building regs Certificate in the post anytime soon.

The work done requires RCD protection, question it? Is the electrician/company you used listed here http://www.competentperson.co.uk/search.asp ? can you post a copy to look at please?

Sorry £100 just for CU (high integ, 10 way, with mcbs, Dual RCD) definitely excluding Labour you should allow for extras that maybe required (Earth cable, clamps etc etc,)

about £100 for a decent cu they should have AT THE LEAST added RCD protection to the parts of the ring main circuit they altered/added and the cooker circuit unless the part of the circuit they installed was enclosed in earthed metallic conduit (very doubtful) Even then I PERSUME your...
