Thats where I had to pay attention on disconnecting the original wiring from the ceiling rose. The cable comming from the switch contained two red wires and an earth so I made a note of which one was connecting to the brown wire in the ceiling rose.

Just installed a new bathroom light. Could any one tell me if I have gone about this the correct way. The new light has only 2 connections which aren't marked and an earth which is marked. The old light has 9 wires running to a ceiling rose. I have taken the 3 red wires from the central...

everything was wired correctly - and silly me thinking that i couldn't possibly make a mistake wiring a switch - must have been asleep when i did it - Had the load and the neutral going to the L1 and L2 position on the switch and nothing going to the Load. Doh... too busy thinking it was...

the feed in from the previous rose has the black wire going to the 2nd position in the first terminal block which has the blue neutral wire from the pendant. The red feed from the previous rose is going to the first position in the middle terminal block. how does that sound?

Not sure what you mean by in parallel or in series. I have a cable going direct from the one way switch with one wire feeding into the two block terminal beside the brown wire from the pendant on the ceilin rose and the other wire going to the centre spot of the three block terminal in the...

I did all the tiling and plastering. The bathroom was a shell when he walked into it and the only thing still plumbed in was the bath, and the pan was still screwed to the floor but not plumbed. all waste pipes where exposed and all pipes were capped off with stop ends. the most major bit of...

I supplied the new suite, the bath was in the identical place only the taps where in the middle rather than at the end as before. The toilet went in the exact same spot as did the shower tray. The sink rather than on a pedestal as before was on a unit and was on the same wall only a foot...

When i attached the new rose and the new switch in the loop using the 2.5mm cable and put the mains back on, everything was fine until i switched on the new light in the roof space, at this stage the fuse in the cosumer unit for this circuit blew. Is this because of my wiring rather than using...

I have recently had a plumber in to do some work in our bathroom and I think that I have been ripped off. I had removed the shower tray/doors/electric shower unit, the sink and pedestal, the cistern and the bathroom radiator. All these pipes where capped off with stop ends. The work the...

I have recently bought cable, a new ceiling rose and a switch to install a light into my roof space. When I went to install this and loop it into the last light on the upstairs lighting circuit I realised that the cable is 2.5mm and not 1.5mm. Would it be ok to go ahead and use this or will it...

What exaclty is a flex outlet?

Are there different Amp sizes for a flex outlet (blanking plate). If so what would be the correct size to use to run off my lighting circuit into the vanity unit. Also is it OK to use 1.5 mm sq cable to run from my ceiling rose even though the rest of the circuit is running on 1mm sq cable...

Is it suitable rather than using a FCU to join the cable from the ceiling rose to the flex of the unit using a terminal block and to track it into the wall or do you suggest another method? Thanks again.

My vanity contains 2 lights and a shaver socket which are operated by a pull cord on the unit. I was planning on running 1mm sq cable from the ceiling rose into a fused spur which i was going to mount above my unit. The plan was then to connect the flex from the unit into the fused spur. Is...

My central heating system runs off both an oil fuelled boiler and also a back boiler from the open fire. When I light my fire and flick on the pump switch for the central heating nothing happens. I replaced the fuse in the switch and it blew as soon as i flicked the switch on. The pump works...
